Home Is Where The Haggis Is

‘Wine On Wednesday’ is a new tradition at HIWTHI.  Please don’t judge, I really don’t drink that much, some of my closest friends can vouch for me…or call my bluff.  ANYWAY, I am on the hunt for drinkable, affordable and downright delicious wines to keep up my heart-healthy habit so if you have any suggestions send me a note.  I may not have a new wine every single Wednesday, but I will do my best and all reviews will be honest and not at all snobby.

This first wine was brought over by a friend- thanks K!  It was love at first sip.  Apothic Red’s Winemaker Blend from 2013 is a keeper.  You can see right away that this wine is on the dark side, my favorite kind of red.  It is a blend of Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet and Zinfandel.  I still read the label on bottles to learn more about the wine before I drink them and they mentioned notes of vanilla and mocha.  I taste that, but I also tasted juicy cherries.  To be honsest, my palette is not as refined as some, but it’s a learning process that is constantly evolving.   You can find this wine at Costco for $7.99.  It is a great one to drink during the week with pasta or pizza, but you can reserve it for a girls night in too served with sharp white cheddar or dark chocolate.  The best way to enjoy it however, is on its own.

Cheers my dears!
