I can drink wine again!
The fact excites and delights me, as I l.o.v.e wine.
Before I got pregnant I had purchased several bottles of wine that I wanted to taste and blog about...
so now I am finally getting around to that.
The first is...
Winnefred (Cali, 2009)
A sassy Chardonnay with a kick! {my description}
"Buttery approach with a bitter aftertaste." {Hubby's description}
I, of course, was attracted to the label - a pinup-like drawing of "Winnefred," wearing a polkadot skirt & sporting retro specs. Apparently she is the champion of a pizza-eating contest, for "wolfing down unprecedented amounts of pizza."
My kinda gal!
My kinda gal!
The label and description get an A+ in my book.
The taste? Probably a B. Good, solid chard. I personally prefer drier wines - but if you like sweet and fruity, choose Winnefred!
However, the label, of course, highly recommended drinking Winnefred with pizza. Any pizza.
So perhaps that was key.
So I drank it the next night as well.
With pizza.
Much better!
The spice of the pizza evened out the citrusy kick of the wine.
Added bonus: It had cork!
I always feel a slight tinge of disappointment
when my bottle of wine has a twist-off cap.
Call me a snob traditionalist.
Am I alone?
love and vino,
