{ Wine Wednesday } a tribute


It became a tradition among my girlfriends and I to get together Wednesday nights with our favorite bottle of wine and enjoy each others' company.  As the weeks passed by, the tradition was deemed "Wine Wednesday."  Being that I'm two hours away from each of them these days, we've transferred the tradition to my new city as well.  My love for wine starts at the very basics.  I'm not part of any wine club, nor do I have my own wine cellar ({my parents just remodeled theirs and it is INSANELY gorgeous, will do a post on that in the future}), but one thing I do know is what tastes good.  Since I frequent Trader Joe's so much, I have gotten to love their selection. My personal favorites are Venetian Moon (a nice dry pinot grigio), Velvet Moon (a smooth cabernet sauvignon) (The "Moon" wines are really good), and a new one we decided to try was Sugar Pie, a red wine blend of grapes that has hints of blackberries and brown sugar cinnamon-spice.  We pair our wines with Wheat Pita Chips, Brie cheese, and my new fave, Triple Cream Le Delice De Bourgogne Cheese.  Enjoy.

  3. The name Sugar Pie alone makes me want to try this! My recent fav was Cupcake and I am liking this trend in dessert names :) What about SB wines...I'm assuming since SB has some winery's there are bound to be some yummy ones up there!
