Alma Rosa: So excited ...



So while I'd be even more excited to actually find the Pinot Noir at my sendiks... I'm super excited about this Pinot Gris.

Although I'm also super digging the cross-branding-gone-good Breyers /slash/ Mrs. Fields ice cream sandwiches... With this Pinot Gris while watching all the bachelor episodes in our TiVo. Talk
about productivity... Yeah!

I can't remember if I've talked about the Pinot Noir before, and too lazy to see if I have... So here we go (maybe again)... I love that wine! We had it at Coquette (the Sanford extension in downtown Milwaukee) ... And it's had such a lasting impression although I've yet to have it again. I saw it once... Where my hubcaps were stolen...Audrey, I still need to talk to your mom about that...

Point is that I am pretty much with the opinion that anything that Alma Rosa rocks!

On sale at Sendiks for maybe $14.99 or so!

Purple Cowboy... isn't half bad

 


Purple Cowboy

In the "12 under $12" bins at Target... although I really don't think there were 12 different wines. Not half bad considering my last Target tasting. Even more surprising given the tagline, "The legend of the purple cowboy". I've never heard of him. Ha.

"The cowboy met the old man who brought him some cuttings in a damp burlap sack. The old man said plant these in the valley where the fog comes at dusk and the soil is stony and no good for anything else. And someday you'll have some fine dark wine. So dark it turns your teeth to purple. So the legend goes."

I especially like the part about the wine being so fine it'll turn your teeth purple. I love it when my teeth turn purple from all the wine I drank. Gives me purpose when brushing.
