wine friday: peachy canyon incredible red zinfandel.
OH man was this a good find. A bit splurgy for the cheapskate that I am but so worth every penny.
I picked up this zin for a little celebratory dinner in for my dad who I affectionately call BM (don’t worry about it), and who’s known as Pops to my kiddos. He turned fifty-something this week, so we ate dinner in and talked and laughed and dined on sausage risotto and beet salad.
My dad’s pretty incredible. He’s talented and generous and sensitive and just flat-out fabulous. And a fabulous dad deserves a fabulous wine. So here we are. Read more
wine friday: found object gewurztraminer.
“Ga-wat-tra-meener?“
Yeah, that was me attempting to repeat the name of this variety of white wine when it was recommended to me by a very knowledgeable wine guy at Trader Joes. You can see I’m a bit out of my element in the white wine varietals department. I said I was a foodie, not a white wine connoisseur. Read more
wine friday: rabbit ridge allure de robles.
I know you’ve got a few questions about this picture, for instance:
1. Why the heck did she pick a wine with a rabbit on the front?
2. Why is the bottle totally and completely empty? Like not a drop left in the whole bottle empty. Is she a complete lush or what? Read more
wine friday: revelation cabernet/merlot blend.
Un Joyeux Vendredi! Happy Friday!
This week’s sub $10 wine pic is a French blend from Trader Joes, where I’m convinced they have a super wine buyer who negotiates amazing deals with incredible winemakers as there are so many great wines to choose from in my price range. Read more
wine friday valentines edition: a spanish tempranillo and an italian bubbly.
Welcome to a special Valentines Day edition of Wine Friday. A DOUBLE edition. No, I’m not suggesting you drink 2 bottles of wine with your Special Someone…unless you want to roll into the office with a throbbing headache on Wednesday. Read more
wine friday: l’authentique red table wine.
When I checked out from Trader Joes with this wine the checker told me this was their most popular French wine, adding it was “nearly as good as the $55 dollar bottles” she had tried. Read more
wine friday: barefoot chardonnay.
You’ll have to forgive me, all you white wine lovers out there. I’m just more of a red wine kind of girl (if that wasn’t totally evident by the weighted wine friday red recommends).
This week we had a friend join us for dinner and I was plum out of wine! Oh the embarrassment! Since a light chicken salad was on the menu AND it had been nearly 80 that afternoon I picked up this Chardonnay from Barefoot Cellars and it was spectacular for the money!
For your consideration: Barefoot Chardonnay. Read more
wine friday: green barn red field blend.
I’m not kidding. I think the wine guy at Trader Joes is playing a joke on me and switched up the prices on his wines.
Seriously…
- This week’s red blend is organic.
- It has an alcohol content of 14.5%. 14.5%!
- It was so good I kind of opened it on Wednesday…shoot.
Wait ’til you see what I paid for it. Read more

If you’re new to frugal foodie family, Wine Friday is our weekly foray into fabulous wines that you can typically find for under $10. Lately I’ve been a huge fan of buying $5 bottles of wine and using my fancy-schancy aerator to make them taste like $10 bottles. Read more
