Robert Mondavi Private Selection 2007 Pinot Noir




I bought this for our thanksgiving this year, it was a hit! And it's not too expensive, it's in the $12 range.


Good wine, good price.

Princess Nagger Wild Blueberry Blush Wine




Opened this up last week with Lindee at a watch making party, it's very light and sweet. Just like me.


HAHAHAHA! Totally kidding.


You know I'm kidding right?


Right?

Wine Appeal Label Remover Kit



Okay, so I collect wine labels. So what? They're pretty!

Anyway, I've tried a million different brand of wine labels and they ALL suck except for these. So if you want to be a wine label nerd too, make sure you get the Wine Appeal Label Remover Kit.

Cheers Wine Carrier




I love my wine carrier, it keeps the bottle at the right temperature, it's easy to carry and protects the bottle from braking.


Which is very important if you know how clumsy I am.


(Even before drinking the wine!)

Champagne Glasses



There's something about champagne glasses that just make me happy. Maybe it's because champagne is served for celebrations so I associate them with feeling content.


I love the skinny sleek flute design that accentuates the champagne bubbles and the long stem that just sings of sophistication.


They are just beautiful.

W & J Graham's "Six Grapes" Reserve Porto




Drink with chocolate truffles.


The two were made for each other!

Wine & Jelly From Princess Nagger's Wine & Gifts




You all know Stacy from Stacy's Random Thoughts right? Well, did you know she is the owner of Princess Nagger Wine & Gifts? I'm always watching her website so I can snag everything right when it comes out.



Check out my latest order:

Private Reserve Wild Blueberry Blush Wine





Spanish Tempranillo Wine




Wine Jellies: Concord Grape, Blackberry Merlot, & Shiraz.




I had never had wine jelly before and boy have I been missing out! Her jellies are delicious!!! And I can't wait to open the wine! I've had her other wine, the Blackberry Merlot & Concord Grape wine, each both being delicious.


I'm always amazed at what this woman can do!





Thanks Stacy!

Stemless "zin bitch" Wine Glass



Dennelle, a friend of mine, gave me this wine glass. D'ya think she's trying to tell me something?

Vinturi Essential Wine Aerator




This this is awesome. Instead of having your wine poured out into decanter and sit out for three hours to breathe, this aerator does it automatically! Alex and I saw one of these at the Falkner Winery in Temecula on our wine tour and we had to find one.

The cheapest one I found was at Sur la table at the Gateway, go get yours!

Newage




This is the best summer wine ever. It is the only wine I've heard of where the wine maker actually suggests you drink it over ice with a lime. If you aren't a wine drinker, I suggest you start with this one because it really tastes like a mixed drink.

Just fill your glass full of ice, poor the wine, squeeze a wedge of lime in it and go sit outside and relax!


And it also has a cool label that is two sided, here is the inside:



Isn't that cool?

Clos Du Val Cabernet Sauvignon




The first time Al and I tried this was at the melting pot a few years ago and it is still our favorite! This one is a 2005 because they no longer had any 2004 left but it is still good. Maybe when I get my tasting notes out I can give you my rating on this one...until then, cheers!
