Wine of the Week!


Chef Jaime Laurita’s Prosecco is fresh, fizzy and delicate with notes of crisp apples and ripe orchard pears. Perfectly dry and palatable, this Prosecco is versatile; it can be simply incorporated into all of your life’s celebrations.

Try it with battered seafood, spicy Asian foods or anything creamy and decadent.

It can be enjoyed as an aperitif and it’s great with finger foods and cheeses like Gruyere, Gouda or even a nutty cheese ball.


The results are in for Step 2 of the Uva Challenge!

Thank you to everyone for participating by voting for your favorite picture!

You have helped these women increase their chances of winning a fabulous Uva Glam Session worth $300!

Here are you're results...

Uva Challenge: Step 2!

Lovely Uva Challenge Participants, here is your second step to the challenge:

Take a photo of yourself in the midst of your daily skincare routine. It could be an image of you in the process of washing your face, letting a mask set, or moisturizing your skin. See my example below that shows the 3 different steps. The 4th is just me feeling all fresh and clean! LOL!

Post that photo (or a compilation of photos as I did below, if you're feeling adventurous) on Instagram. The caption must say Uva Challenge and must include the tag @uvaspawineboutique. We also need for you to click on the Add People button and add @uvaspawineboutique. This will put your picture on our Instagram page and make it easier to keep track of.

You will have until next Thursday, August 22 to get your picture in but I will say, the sooner you get it in the better because there will be a voting process involved and the longer your picture is out there, the more votes you could get!


Once you picture is posted on Instagram, we will take a screen shot of it and add it to a photo album on our facebook page, as well as post it on our instagram page.

Then the voting begins! Get your family, friends, co-workers, etc to vote for your picture by liking it on Uva's Facebook page or on our Instagram Page! The more likes you have, the more chances you will have to win the Uva Glam Session! (FYI... Likes on your pictures on your Instagram page will not count. Please direct them to Uva's Instagram page.)

At midnight on what will technically be Friday, August 23, we will tally the votes. The picture with the most likes will get 9 tickets put into our giant wine glass. The second place picture will get 8 tickets and so on through the person with the least amount of votes which will get 1 ticket. This can increase your odds of winning dramatically! And this is why it is so important to get your picture submitted as soon as possible!

Get to work ladies! And Uva fans, help these ladies win by voting for your favorite picture!

Good luck!





Thank you & Congratulations!
