With just two episodes left of season three of Tell Me Lies, we are locked into this emotional rollercoaster. Just when you think it can’t get more toxic, somehow this show finds a way. Stephen keeps finding new ways to be unhinged. Lucy needs some serious therapy. Pippa and Diana are super cute but need to be honest. And I think we are all rooting for Bree and Wrigley. Tell Me Lies is juicy, seductive, and addictive. If you are looking for an equally juicy and seductive wine to sip on while watching, we have rounded up the most irresistible wines.
The Honeymoon Phase
Pair it with a bright, flirty, bubbly Rosé
All relationships start with butterflies and rainbows. As much as we hate to admit it, Stephen and Lucy actually had a moment of being sweet together. The honeymoon phase calls for a bright, flirty wine that’s bubbly and fun, just like the beginning stages of any relationship. Light, easygoing, and not too serious, but still a crowd favorite. A sparkling Rosé is the perfect wine to celebrate the honeymoon phase. With bright bubbles and juicy red-fruit notes, it’s hard not to fall in love.
The Medici Ermete Phermento is the perfect wine that encompasses the honeymoon phase. It is a natural, vibrant, and fruit-forward sparkler that bursts with flavors of raspberry and red-fruit. A true crowd-pleaser, the Phermento is an easy choice for a flirty, fun wine.
Gaslighting, but make it Seductive & Juicy
Pair it with a seductive and juicy red
While there may have been a moment of Stephen and Lucy being sweet, it only lasted a second. Stephen is toxic and unhinged and is the perfect example of the boyfriend not to have. He gaslights and manipulates, but somehow Lucy is still into the seductive, juicy nature of this relationship. This requires a wine that is seductive and juicy. A polished red that really captivates you and pulls you in.
The Illicit Cabernet Sauvignon is the perfect wine for this. Boldly crafted from the best that California has to offer, Illicit Cabernet is the ultimate hedonistic experience. With juicy black cherry fruit and hints of vanilla and spice, this California Cabernet is sinfully delicious.
Late Night Spirals
Pair it with a comforting, high-alcohol wine
With all this toxicity, it is hard not to spiral. Lucy has numerous moments where she is questioning every decision she has made. It’s hard to blame her when she is dating someone like Stephen. A late-night spiral calls for a large glass of wine that is extra comforting and a higher alcohol content. Something that is like a warm hug is the perfect cure.
This calls for a bottle of the Buglioni Il Bugiardo Ripasso Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOCG. Il Bugiardo literally means “the liar” in Italian, so it could not be more fitting when dealing with Stephen. This wine is intense but elegant with notes of ripe fruit and spices with a slight scent of vanilla and tobacco. A warm taste that is velvet and harmonic, it is like a comforting hug to get you through the spirals.
The Morning After
Pair it with a clean, acidic wine
The morning after a spiral, it is time to lock back in. It’s time to shake off any anxiety or questionable decisions from the night before and lock into some self-care. Whether that is cleaning your room, taking a yoga class, or making a nice cozy meal and relaxing, it is time to focus on yourself. In this case, you need a clean, acidic wine that is bright and bursting with new possibilities.
The perfect wine for this is the Infamous Goose Sauvignon Blanc. With a beautiful, bright acidity, this Sauv Blanc is the perfect revival. It has notes of kaffir lime, passionfruit, citrus, tropical fruits, and a bright lemon zesty. It is light, bright, and bursting with fruit.
