Wine: Sea Glass Pinot Noir

Normally I find Pinot Noir's mellow and easy to drink; usually meaning its so good, I easily drank the whole bottle.

This was not so much the case with Sea Glass's Pinot Noir. I find this wine super dry, and lacking any flavor notes that I particularly enjoyed. Once in corked, It survived a week on the counter, and out of the 3 nights I drank this wine, it did get better. Maybe it needed to breath? 

This wine retails at about 15 dollars. I would give it 2.5 stars and wouldn't purchase it again.  My snacks (deer sausage, lefse, smoked cheese, and chocolate) were the most exciting part of this wine and cheese night.

Grocery Store Vino Fresh & Easy

So a friend of mine stayed with me for thanksgiving weeked. She told be she views my blog but is sad I don't update. I told her the ideas of topics I wanted to cover, describe, share, but I just never do them.


She encouraged me [first and foremost, to drink more wine!], to actually carry out these ideas.

So we went to Fresh and Easy and picked out some wines in the following price points:

3.99 Unwined Pinot Noir
4.99 First Fleet Shiraz
6.99 Matuco Cab Sauv
8.99 Confectioner's Sweet Symphony - sweet red

The idea here is to find cheap grocery store wines and compare them to other grocery store deals [and steals!], to see what makes the cut, and what just..., doesn't.

Keep reading for the reviews ;-)
