Bottles & Bottles

>> Tuesday, June 1, 2010

I really like the pictures on the top right shelf and second level left shelf. Those bottles are pretty cool - but the price tag was not so cool.

Anyone know anyone who could recreate this in a photograph or painting or something? Something similar - since I'd want different colors to go in my kitchen. :)

Paso Robles

>> Sunday, May 23, 2010

I'm going to ignore the "big white elephant" in the room and not make any excuses for not updating for, well, almost a month.

Instead - we're going to talk about something that is both delicious AND awesome: WINE. :)

While in California, there was an open weekend that we could either go home (um, no thanks - not flying 'cross country for two days just to come back thankyouverymuch) or stay. I stayed - and went to Paso Robles - wine country.

Is it Napa Valley or Sonoma? No.
Was it gorgeous with some delicious wine? Oh yeah.



I also did a little wine tour into the wine cellars at the Robert Hall Winery. It was interesting to see their "caves" and their stores of wine. The tour guide talked about some interesting things - but I was only half listening.

As the man swiped my card for my wine purchase there at the Robert Hall winery - he shared with me that "Oh hey - we ship wine to where you live!" grrreat. I bet I could get this mess at Total Wine for cheaper.

Oh well, the experience, right?



All about the experience.

Valentine's Day

>> Tuesday, February 24, 2009

<<>>

Our first Valentine's Day together as newly weds. Also our "8 month anniversary" if one were to count in months. The Mr. has teamed up with his best friend (and our neighbor), M. They have declared that they are cooking dinner for J and myself on Saturday. We are pumped because this means that the girls get to sit on the couch...when the girls are usually in the kitchen. Rock on! (Update on this...The Mr. actually worked from 8am until 2am the next day...we did get to eat lunch and dinner together though. An "eat and run" if you will.)

The Mr. and I typically don't celebrate Valentine's Day. We don't exchange gifts. I don't want overpriced flowers, I don't want chocolate (since I'm on this get in shape kick), I defintely do NOT want to go out to dinner on Valentine's Day.

The Mr. has a lot of websites that he frequents and they always have funny names... like woot.com or yugster.com. Well on woot.com there's a sub-website (?) called wine.woot.com. They apparently had an offer for wine filled chocolates. My two indulgences: wine & chocolate. Heaven. Amazing. There are 4 flavors: champagne, cabernet, chardonney, and port. The champagne inside the chocolate still has a little bubbly to it. The chardonney was accompanied with white chocolate and the cabernet is accompanied with dark chocolate. Yum!I don't recommend biting half-way into the chocolate though. It would probably spill all over you since it really is liquid... But this picture is just too cool! They were made by Bouquet of Fruits - so you can probably order them direct as well.

I highly recommend these... They were (and still are) delicious!!
