'The Fabulous Five'

The adventure began as the five of us piled in the car and headed North. Even though we weren’t exactly sure what was in store for us that evening, it didn’t seem to matter as laughter and ongoing chatter filled the car. You know how it is when a group of gals get together. It was our monthly ‘Girls Night’ that we all looked forward to immensely.

Awesome Walla Walla Wine on a Beer Budget

Awesome Wine on a Beer Budget
Well it seems everyone is on a budget these days. If you were thinking about not giving that bottle of wine to the host of your Thanksgiving Day dinner, think again. I’ve compiled a list of wine Walla Walla Wine Cellar offers that are excellent and under $20. Seriously, you can’t go wrong here and you won’t look like a schmuck when you arrive at your Turkey Day dinner.
Depending on the type of entrée to be served, usually a white wine or rosé goes best with turkey or a lighter flavored meal:
Boomtown Chardonnay
Charles Smith Holy Cow Chardonnay
DaMa Riesling
JLC The Muse Rosé
Trio Vintners Trés Rosé
If you are having a beef entrée or heavier flavored meal try any of these:
Boomtown Merlot
Boomtown Syrah
Charles Smith Holy Cow Merlot
Helix Pomatia
Mannina Cellars Cali
Or, if you are not sure what is going to being served, just buy your favorite. The host will be delighted that you are sharing “your” favorite with them. Cheers!
