I was wondering just the other day which one of my cohorts (or maybe myself) would get the first bad bottle of wine.  To this point, we’ve all enjoyed every drop we’ve reviewed and that struck me as odd…because it’s not that uncommon to find a horrid bottle amongst the gold. Were we just lucky [...]

This has been a wine filled week!  However, this post, has just a hint dinner disaster with a finish of wine review.  Here goes. My lovely sister came over for dinner the other day and she brought a bottle of Peter Mertes Liebfraumilch along for the ride.  Dinner was to be simple – Beef Fried [...]

This week Rhea tried a fun looking bottle of Bear Flag Smooth Red made from grapes the likes of which I’d never heard of (except Zinfandel.)  I knew I had a lot to learn about wines and that was part of the reason I wanted to do these posts (the non-alcoholic part anyway) but wow, [...]

Doing these wine reviews has brought about a massive deficiency to my attention.  We are severely lacking in the wine tools department.  Specifically speaking – our corkscrew.  We have two corkscrews.

I’m so impressed with Rhea’s post this week!  She picked out what looks like an amazing bottle of red from Cupcake Vinyards.  She keeps talking like she doesn’t know anything about wine but I don’t believe her.  Nope.  I think our miss Rhea is much more educated on wine than she lets on.  She was [...]

This week at Home, we all have head-colds.  I can’t taste anything or smell anything and the baby wants to nurse all the time – poor sniffly thing that he is. So I’m thrilled that this weeks Wine Review is hosted by Cheryl at beautifulsideofhectic.com.  Her pallet is much more trustworthy than mine at the [...]

Here we go folks!  It’s about to get really fun around here and it’s mostly because I’ve teamed up with two other fantastic moms to bring you weekly posts about the all mighty Vino!  Please meet: Rhea – mommy23monkeys.com Rhea is, as you may have guessed, a mom to three boys.  She’s a little on [...]
