Menage a Trois. Enough said.


I dedicate this post to one of my friends who introduced me to this wine.  This past weekend we were celebrating her birthday and she had a new type of wine to try; she kept hearing about it and curiosity peaked her interest - I mean, with the name of Menage a Trois who wouldn’t be interested in finding out more about it?  It is a California red made up of three different types of wine (hence the name): Zinfandel, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon.  The individual wines do not over-power each other and are wonderfully balanced with a hint of blackberry and raspberry flavors.  The wine is not very sweet but also doesn’t have that bitterness that some red wines tend to have; the flavors are in perfect harmony, making Menage a Trois California Red Wine easy and enjoyable to drink.

ChocolatRouge…OoOoO LaLa

ChocolatRouge red wine; is it just me or is that a sexy little name for wine?  Even before taking a sip I knew that this wine would be yummy, just because the name made it sound so good.  Keep in mind, the type of ChocolatRouge red wine that I’m talking about is the one that actually looks like red wine and not the type that looks like a creamy chocolate drink (same name, two different types of wine).  However, with that being said, this red wine still packs a ton of chocolate flavor…more so than any other type of wine I have tried yet.  This full-bodied wine blends a delicious medley of berry and chocolate flavors; the initial sip gives off the hint of berries followed by a lasting chocolate taste, which in my opinion, resembles the taste of a tootsie roll!  I absolutely could not get enough of this wine, it is amazing.  If you love red wine and chocolate, then this wine is a must….especially for those hot date nights, sexy wine for a sexy night ;).

Pink Makes Everything Better



It’s no surprise to anyone that knows me well that Sweet Bliss - Sweet Red Wine is my absolute favorite wine to date (the first post in this blog).  I constantly talk about it and always get people to try it…I’m slightly obsessed with it, there’s nothing wrong with that.  Well, I was utterly delighted when I came across my favorite wine’s sister, Sweet Bliss – Sweet Pink Wine; I love anything pink so I just couldn’t resist trying it.  The combination of flavors in this wine is amazing: strawberry, melon, and honey.  The flavors are quite mild and they blend together beautifully, leaving an incredibly delicious and refreshing taste in your mouth.  I think that anyone who isn’t quite a fan of red wine, yet still wants to try the Sweet Bliss line, would really enjoy this pink wine.  My mother-in-law prefers to stick to white wines and she said that the Sweet Bliss – Sweet Pink Wine is her favorite type of wine she has tried so far.  The adorable label and the playful pink color make this wine a great choice for any ladies’ night, just saying :).
