Read Her Like a Bouquet

Alpana Singh's two-minute wine personality guide

If she orders a shiraz
"She's on a planned path, she probably was in a sorority, she's got the career, she's going to get married, and the next thing you know, you're rolling a stroller."

If she orders a cabernet
"Here you have a woman who is a Katherine Hepburn character. She breaks tradition. She's like Amanda Peet in Studio 60. She's running the boardroom, she does not follow the path of what is expected of her, and she's probably a ball buster."

If she orders a pinot grigio
"She's going to be on a diet half the time. You can tell I grew up with brothers, right? [Laughs] Pinot grigio is light and crisp -- it's sort of the Diet Coke of wines."

If she orders a grape variety that you cannot pronounce
"Chances are she's extremely well-traveled, and she probably has a taste for the more adventurous things in life. If she's drinking gruner veltliner or gewürztraminer, you've probably got somebody who's a bit of an Angelina Jolie spirit. She'll probably take you flying."
