Fantasy Fashion League Fosters Camaraderie with a Hint of Glamour

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- This fall, thousands of women across the country share in the fun of Fantasy Fashion League (FFL) -- a game of fashion predictions modeled after Fantasy Football. By encouraging spirited conversations over celebrity fashions and who will be the "best dressed" each season, FFL is an impetus for glamorous get-togethers, as well as an opportunity for bonding with friends that share a passion for fashion. Now in its second season, FFL continues its tradition of toasting the quintessential "girls' night in" with Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio -- a must-have for entertaining.

"Fantasy Fashion League get-togethers have become a great way for women to bond, laugh and simply enjoy each other's company," explains Erica Salmon, Founder of Fantasy Fashion League. "Our members are leveraging their interest in fashion to share a unique experience with friends."

Similar to the timing for fantasy football, the FFL entertaining season lasts from Emmys (September) through Oscars (February). Members gather for "draft parties" where they compile rosters of celebrities and fashion designers they think will be featured most in fashion magazines this season. Throughout the next few months, fashion followers will gather to compare scores and track how their favorites are faring at fantasyfashionleague.com (the fashion version of CBS Sportsline). Whether in-the-know fashionistas root for Angelina Jolie or Reese Witherspoon, Yves St. Laurent or Chanel, customary party essentials, including laughs, hors d'oeuvres and a few crisp glasses of Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio, are always in order.

This year, FFL and Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio introduces the "Toasts to Fashion" contest, in which league members may enter to win an "L.A. Fashion Insider's Experience," complete with a Rodeo Drive Shopping Spree, luxurious accommodations and celebrity VIP treatment during Oscars week in February. The contest celebrates that special bond of friendship by encouraging entertaining with a common point of passion -- fashion.

"For years, Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio has been a fashionable favorite for entertaining, a must-have for parties," says William A. Terlato, President of the Terlato Wine Group. "Now, with Fashion Fantasy League and Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio together, the season's parties become even more fun as women across the country gather together to toast fashion and friends."

About Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio

Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio is part of the Paterno Wines International portfolio of brands, owned and operated by The Terlato Wine Group. Introduced in 1980, Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio has become one of America's favorite premium wines. Recently voted the most popular imported wine, red or white, in top restaurants for the 11th consecutive year (Wine & Spirits 4/06), Santa Margherita remains a favorite among wine enthusiasts for its crisp, ripe character and consistent quality, and a mainstay on wine lists in the nation's finest restaurants.
