Raise Your Glass: Holiday Wine Gift Guide

Everything She Wants loves to promote products that inspire women to look and feel good.  Although wine isn't something we'd normally blog about, the spirit can definitely lift our spirits. And antioxidant-rich red wine, in particular, has proven heart health benefits.

Besides, it's holiday time and we're allowed to indulge in a glass (or two) of vino.  In case you're looking for a good bottle to pop at your next holiday party, here are a few brands to consider:

Les Compagnons Wines contributes a portion of its sales revenue of each bottle sold to fund several New York City animal charities including Stray from the Heart and and the Toby Project. Try the Pinot Noir.

If you like your wine white and sweet, you'll savor Mirassou Winery's California Moscato.  With a flavor profile ripe with peach, tangerine, melon and honeysuckle, the wine is as close as you can get to capturing California summer in a bottle.

Each bottle of Moreno BHLV Sparkling Wine is adorned with Swarovski Crystals, making it the perfect wedding, birthday or bachelorette party gift. The California sparkling wine comes in two yummy varieties -- Rose Prive and Brut -- made from Mendocino County French Colombard, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes.

Sip in style with a bottle from the Villa Blanca Wine Collection by "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Lisa Vanderpump.  Created by Summerland Winery, Vanderpump's wines will soon be available across the country and a portion of proceeds will be donated to her charity.

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

(Tracy E. Hopkins) It's the end of a budget shopping era. Conway discount stores are closing in New York City . As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to the Big Apple, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore.  I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued.  I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store.  And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store. One regretful ensemble: Lime green and
