Winey Tasting Notes: Big Churn Chardonnay

ByThe Winey Mom

There is a certain level of trust that I share with The Winey Daughter. I trust that she will tell me if I need to change parts – or all – of an outfit. I trust she will alert me if I have spinach in my teeth. I trust that she will never ever ever forget to send me her birthday/Christmas list (the two days are not far apart, so it’s normally a massive list). I also trust that she can listen to my description in a phone call and buy me a yummy bottle of wine.

Winey Tasting Notes: Meiomi Red Blend

ByThe Winey Mom

I fully admit that I am a sucker for red blends. I mean, I have had such wonderful experiences with them! How can you go wrong if you take a bunch of wonderful reds and mix ’em together? Ok, it’s a LOT more complicated than that, but in my humble opinion, a red blend brings out the best in each wine used to make it.

Winey Tasting Notes: Ménage à Trois Silk and the Advent Calendar

ByThe Winey Mom

I am going to pause in the reminiscing about my wonderful trip to Israel (and the great wines from that country) to talk about something that has been on my mind lately. Every single morning, actually. The Advent Calendar. NOT this Advent Calendar (but I do like it) And to clarify, I’m not talking about…

Winey Tasting Notes: Moving Forward with Forward by Herzog Chenin Blanc

ByThe Winey Mom

There I was on a Friday morning. Driving to work, singing (rather brilliantly, if I do say so myself) along to my tunes when…..BAM. A lethal piece of construction equipment (I live in Ohio, aka The Land of Orange Barrels) comes sailing toward my little car. It had been lying on the road, halfway in…

Winey Tasting Notes: I Am The 20%: Pareto Estate’s Eighty 20 Red Blend and Chardonnay

So after a busy summer, The Winey Nest is empty once again. The Winey Daughter is safely ensconced in her second year at college. The Winey Son has some new digs in Texas. It’s just me, The Winey Hubby and The Winey Dog (more on the dog in the future 🙂 I was talking with…
