Happy Wine Wednesday all! Remember that trip I took to New Orleans in February? I had mentioned that I had come across Abita Strawberry Harvest while reading up on some of the Abita beer I had in NOLA.

Good evening friends and happy Wine Wednesday. Cainon recently took a trip to Chile and Peru and brought back some delicious bottles of Chilean wine.

wine wednesday: my go-to wine

02.22.2012

One wine that I always know that I will love, and since I am usually in the mood for cabernet, is Cupcake Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon. Cupcake wine goes on sale pretty often at my local grocery store, so I always make sure to pick up a bottle or two when it does. After all, who [...]

Oh Wednesday, you always seem to come along so quickly! For this week’s Wine Wednesday post, I decided to share a little bit about the Washington DC International Wine and Food Festival.

Happy Wine Wednesday! I’ll start off this post with today’s pick: The Smoking Loon 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon. I loved this wine. So smooth and easy to drink. And when the cork has this little poem on it, how can you resist? “You knew that your night was just about to get a little bedda now [...]

Happy Hump Day! Happy February! Happy Wine Wednesday! Here we are again and it’s time for a lovely little post about wine!

Happy Wine Wednesday! Today’s pick is from a wine I brought to a party of the weekend, Concannon Winery 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon. It was really easy to drink and a cheaper choice at the grocery store.

It’s Wine Wednesday people! After a heartbreak overtime loss last night by my Hokies, I am definitely in need of some cheer. Anyways, I am by no means a wine expert, but I thought I would share my thoughts on a different wine each Wednesday. I’ll feature some old favorites and try out new bottles [...]
