Our latest from the vineyard tasting room. Okay, it’s not really a vineyard – more like a small kitchen, with a bottle opener, and two really excited patrons! Cheers.
There’s no masseuse with this Happy Ending, but there sure is a fun wine. Happy Ending’s cabernet has both an interesting story and taste. I was picking up seafood at my local grocery store and headed to checkout, of course I found myself down the wine aisle. Not necessarily shopping for a bottle of wine,…
Lodi’s Oak Ridge best described as earthy. I walked into a Total Wine a couple weeks ago with one goal, finding a few tasty dry wines to review. Even though I know that our wine palates are all subjective, I figured this would be a great way to experiment with recommendations. The employee asked me…
Happy Camper wine perfect for summer fun This upcoming weekend BB is leaving for a camping trip. Since I couldn’t join her, my wine selection, Happy Camper, seemed fitting. The label has a cute illustration of a camper lit up in the middle of a forest on black paper. It was just too adorable to pass…
”If it tastes good to you, then it’s good wine” Dave Matthews wine philosophy. What can possibly go wrong when you combine Russian River, a world renowned wine maker, and Dave Matthews? Exactly nothing, just a pretty remarkable wine called, The Dreaming Tree. I have some pretty fond memories that involve Dave Mathews Band, from meeting…
Wine Works With Friends Friends and drinks always go nicely together! It’s been about eight months that a small group of girls get together to catch up, eat good food, and of course, enjoy a thirsty Thursday together. This week we went to a wine bar called Wine Works For Everyone, that included exotic wine…
Zinopolis™, a place where your palate reigns supreme and Zinfandel is always on the menu Scanning the wine shelf for this week’s wine review and my eyes quickly went to this cool label – Zinopolis. First, thing that came to my mind was Monsters Inc., Monstropolis! I know silly right? Well, Zinopolis packs a pretty…
Every week has a Thursday and on that day we will drink some kind of alcohol! This thirstyGirl wanted to try something new and hadn’t had the opportunity to try Adam Corolla’s Mangria. Yes, I have been a huge fan of Adam since the early days of the Man Show and his bits on the…
Tonight’s thirsty Thursday wine choice comes from Hall Ranch vineyard located in California’s central coast, Paso Robles. As I mentioned the last few weeks, I’ve been on a Paso kick. I love Napa, even lived in Sonoma for a while, but something about a movie I watched a year ago makes me want to explore…
I read an article a while back from the Los Angeles Times regarding whether you can still get good bottle of wine at Trader Joe’s. I would have to say that maybe there is some truth to that. I have ventured away from buying wine at Trader Joe’s in the last couple of years, and…
I’ve never considered myself a connoisseur of wine, but I would say I am a big wine-o! I may not have a Big Tippie* wine glass, but I do have a variety of glasses that let me enjoy 18+ ounces of wine at a time. HA. This wine Thursday I opened a new bottle of…
