Red Velvet by Cupcake Winery

On Mother’s Day I decided to treat myself to a nice red wine. I have been stuck on white for quite a few months now and just needed to branch out. I’d had the Red Velvet by Cupcake Vineyards previously but didn’t get a chance to really enjoy it. We were chatting too much while I was getting my hair done at a friends house.

I know everyone loves it so I wasn’t going out on a limb that I’d regret buying it. Better safe than sorry when you are going for a treat. Who am I kidding? I’m a pansy and hate to waste money. I generally try something with friends before I’ll buy it. Hubby helps me branch out of that when we go shopping.

Snoqualmie Whistlestop Red 2008

Snoqualmie Whistlestop RedIt’s true that I’m not supposed to be drinking right now. But it was just one of those days. A day that just gets away from you and doesn’t stop. Not a bad day, not a good day, just a day that I’ve lost somewhere in time. So yes, I bought wine.  How predictable?

Sagelands Vineyard – Freddie’s Blend

Freddie’s Blend  Sagelands Vineyard

I have fallen in love with this winery. Unfortunately I can’t get you a link to look at because they seem to have let their domain name go. It’s printed on the label so this is not a good business decision or sign. They closed their tasting room a few months ago as well. I just may have to buy cases of some of the wines in case there is something going on. They have truly become my favorite reds.
