Dr. Ruth Urges Wine Lovers to Have Sex More Often

January 22, 2007, New York, NY—Priming the pump for Valentine's Day, Bottlerocket Wine & Spirit welcomes world-famous sex therapist Dr. Ruth for two hours of free sex tips and wine.  Not satisfied with your sex life?  Want to know more? On February 13, 2007, renowned radio/TV personality and teacher Dr. Ruth K. Westheimer will be at Bottlerocket with the latest edition of her bestselling guide, Sex For Dummies®.  Dr. Ruth’s new book has everything you need to know about sex, whether you are having sex for the first time, dealing with teenagers’ common concerns about sex, or need advice on “sex in your golden years”.

Held in its loft-like Flatiron retail shop, Bottlerocket’s free event series, the Eclectic Salon, brings together people, wine and ideas, perfectly reflecting its credo: buying wine should be as fun as drinking it.  Featured guests in 2006 included former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins, wine writer Jancis Robinson, restaurateur Danny Meyer, indie movie producer Christine Vachon and Alex Prud’homme, co-author with Julia Child of the best-selling My Life in France.  The Eclectic Salon cross-pollinates themes, exposing wine lovers to thinkers the store cherishes or admires, while offering tastes of wine from around the globe.

Dr. Ruth is the author of 31 books, as well as a well-known lecturer and teacher.  Her path has led her from training in the Israeli military, to studying and teaching psychology at the University of Paris, to her pioneering TV show “Sexually Speaking”.   Her 3rd Sex For Dummies volume offers a wealth of knowledge for anyone seeking the latest information on enhancing sexual pleasure, avoiding relationship pitfalls, or the debunking of sexual myths.  The book concludes with Dr. Ruth’s “ten tips for truly great lovers”.  Bottlerocket invites lovers of wine, and lovers, to join Dr. Ruth in a frank discussion at this special evening.

Founded in May 2006, Bottlerocket Wine & Spirit is a new generation wine shop, offering a unique, intuitive, thematic approach to choosing wine.  Bottlerocket is child and dog friendly, built from environmentally sound “green” materials, has a wine and food reference library, and numerous educational opportunities for its customers—such as this pleasure-filled event.
