#winewednesday - recap


It's time for another #wine wednesday and this time I thought I'd do a little review.  For those of you who have just started following my blog #winewednesday is a new feature I added this year to review a wine a week on a Wednesday.  Part of the my reasoning was that I needed to keep myself accountable to blogging regularly and part of it was to help me shape my blog a little.  Anyway I thought it was time for a little recap of the 8 wines I've reviewed so far this year.  So go grab a cuppa... or better yet a glass of vino and get ready for the flashback.

My first #winewednesday post started with one of my favourites - Ruinart Rose.

 I blogged about something with an Italian style - who doesn't love Italy.

 Being a good Aussie girl I had to blog about some of my favourite Aussie bubbles & wineries.

 It was right about now that I realised the benefits of choosing bubbles as my #flavourofthemonth in a 5 week month, when I reviewed another knockout Aussie bubbly.

 And for the last bubbly post... one of my all time favourites - the Rockford Black Shiraz.

 Sadly January ended all too soon.


And I moved on to a new #flavourofthemonth - Rose.  The hot weather has been perfect for this and I kicked off talking about a wonderful experience visiting Coriole vineyards.

 I couldn't resist coming back and reviewing another wine from Turkey Flat - their Rose is just so drinkable :-)

And finally last week I reviewed another Aussie rose from Bethany.

So that's it... it's been a fun ride so far and I'm enjoying the accountability of blogging about wines each week - it's a wonderful excuse to drink them.  The challenge I have is picking one type of wine to review over the month.  After all there are so many to choose from.  To that end... I'd love your help.  Leave a comment with your suggestions.  Is there a wine I should try?  Is there something I should do differently.  Let me know. I'd love to hear from you.

Cheers

Surprises are fun!

On Wednesday night I had a surprise.  Hubby and I carpool and drive in to work.  We start pretty early in the morning so we can leave before the worst of peak hour really takes hold.  On Wednesday afternoon he arrived at my office and informed me that the traffic was 'banked up for miles' due to the rain.  (Don't get me started on the driving habits of Sydney-siders in the rain... Unless you have a bottle of wine for the rant!!!)  Making the most of the opportunity we decided to grab a quick bite to eat in the city and wait out the worst of the traffic. This lead to a delightful dinner with another colleague, a delightful steak, and a lovely surprise bottle of wine.  I must admit I've had this one before, but the thing that made it so nice was that I wasn't expecting dinner out.  In fact I was expecting to have to cook.  I wasn't expecting to have wine.  In fact I was expecting to go for a run.  I wasn't expecting delightful company - other than my husban

Yep.... it's time for another blog

The trouble with the holiday period is that I get time to stop and think.  I get to hang out with family and friends.  I eat too much.  I drink too much.  And I generally let go of the year that's been.  It's great.  I relax and unwind.  My body and mind take a little rest. And then suddenly it's over.  I wake up one morning and realize that I'm done with relaxing.  A new year is spread out before me and I need a new challenge. A new mountain to climb.  A new goal to aim for.  A new experience to challenge myself with.  I get excited and I plan.  I start lists.  I ponder.  I drive my husband nuts with the 'what do you want to do this year?' questions.  Quickly followed by 'What else?' So here I am again.  Over committed.  Excited.  Daunted.  And a little confused.  Why another blog?  Do I really need to do this?  Is there a purpose to it all? Ok I'll stop for a minute and have a sip of wine before I continue (this is a blog about wine - among othe

champagne cupcakes

Yesterday I made cupcakes. Not just any old ordinary cupcakes.  These ones were inspired by the #flavourofthemonth - bubbles.  Yep that's right - Champagne cupcakes.  I did cheat a little bit though.... I didn't quite make them from scratch.  I used a Betty Crocker recipe you can find here .  It was pretty easy and there is more than enough champagne in a bottle to make the cupcakes, the frosting and have a glass or two while they are baking ;-) I'm surprised it's taken me this long to realise that I can incorporate champagne into dessert, not just as dessert.  Guess I'll be baking more cake now.  I wonder if this will work with rose.....
