Whether you’re sitting at dinner about to eat a bite of your perfectly seared steak or you’re winding down for the evening after an incredibly long day, a glass of red wine is always necessary. Although, with dozens of different types of red wines, including red blends, the choice for the right bottle can feel a bit daunting — especially if you’re in one of those wine stores that sort red wine rack after rack based on region. “Keep in mind what your preferences are in style of wine,” says Erin Swain, a Hampton-based Sommelier and wine educator. “Ask yourself: light, medium, or full body?

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may receive an affiliate commission. Justin Bieber has long been making compelling cases for rocking pink (both in hairstyles and clothing) — and he just did it again. Taking to the stage in Nashville last night, Bieber donned a lotus pink 365 sweatshirt from Pangaia with matching track pants . Luckily for any Beliebers, both the sweatshirt and pants are still in stock and reasonably priced at $130 on the brand’s website (something that’s not often the case with Bieber’s wardrobe pieces).
