So many wines so little time, right? Well I sure think so. I picked up some new wines to try the other day. I totally hate to admit this but I am drawn to the way a wine bottle looks and sometimes it influences my purchasing decision. Yes it's true! But admitting this is my first step to recovery. I really should ignore the pretty labels and look into the whole wine rating thing-a-ma-jig. Yes, I will do this. I can do this!
I picked the above bottles because they were on serious sale. Yes I buy wines because they are on sale too! Ugh.
The Coppola 2009 Pinot Noir retails for about $20 but I got it for $10. It's a good wine, not real fruity but smooth. I would definitely pay $20 for it if I had to.
The Head Snapper (I really liked the way this bottle looked...shhhh) retails for about the same as the Coppola but I also got it for $10. I haven't tried this one yet but when I do I will update.
And then there's the Flip Flop Cabernet Sauvignon. It retails for $14 and was a lot cheaper when I picked it up. It's really not too bad for an inexpensive wine.
Nothing beats my favorite wine Beso de Vino. Love that wine. It's a delicious blend of 85% Syrah and 15% Garnacha and it's also not expensive, only about $12 per bottle. The Wine Advocate gave it a 90 point rating which I've learned means it's an "outstanding" wine. I must agree.
All this talk about wine makes me thirsty. Is it 5 o'clock yet?
and Chupacabra by MJK.. think you can get it for under $25.00 and possibly at Whole Foods. There is a distributor too that can ship it to Binny's. :D Can't wait to try Coppola's too.
ReplyDeleteKara, yes! That is on my list to try. I bet it's deeelish. I work right by a Whole Foods so I should see if they have it and treat myself.
