Do You Wine?



I use to be a red wine drinker and recently I've switched to white. I like sweet Rieslings and Muscats.

I've always wanted to try different white wines but I never knew what to try and I never knew what I'd like. My mom started drinking Riesling and I was hooked. While wine tasting in Temecula this past fall I discovered Muscats, another type of sweet white wine.

While in the grocery store a couple of months ago I came across a brand of wine called Flip Flop. Now its no secret that I am a beach girl and could live my life in flip flops. I just had to have that wine. I found a Flip Flop Moscato and it was love at first drink.

I found it funny that I picked random bottle of wine by its label and actually fell in love with it. Ever since I've been buying wine by the label. I recently found a Chill Out Moscato. I liked the beachy label. It wasn't too bad but not as good as my Flip Flop.

I've seen the Cupcake brand of wine in the stores and I think it was on a blog the other day that I saw someone talking about it. I like cupcakes and although the brand of wine never peaked my interest before, after seeing someone talk about it I decided to look into it further.

I went to the Cupcake Wine website and found they have a wine called Angel Food! I've been on the search for it ever since but have not been successful. However I did find a Cupcake Riesling.



This is how I wine. 

Yes, I even have a flip flop coaster for my wine glass to wear. 

My favorite wines at the moment are the Flip Flop Moscato, Chateau St. Michelle Late Harvest Riesling and a Muscat from a local winery in Temecula, Maurice Carrie.

It's so funny. I totally used to live semi-near Temecula! I actually don't drink alchohol at all, but the names are so fun! The cupcake one especially. :)

I'm both a red and white drinker! My white of choice though is Saugvinon Blanc, preferably from New Zealand. Hope you have a great weekend!

I love Chateau St. Michelle's Riesling too!!! I'm going to have to pick up a bottle of that Flip Flop Moscato...as you know, I'm a flip flop girl myself too :)

I'm a huge winehead, so I love all whites and reds. The Cupcake brand makes a Red Velvet Cupcake wine which I've been dying to try!

I also bought those same coasters you have for a friend's birthday! Ha Ha we're too much alike...I think we should have a Virtual Wine Tasting! xox

Moscato is my favorite kind of wine, but I've never tried Flip Flop. Now I will definitely pick some up to try!

I LOVE wine. I drink it all. I love whites and reds, but lately I've been drinking a lot of Malbecs and Pinot Noirs. I've always loved Riesling, but I actually didn't care for the Cupcake one. Either way, I love wine!
