My first Wine Wednesday!


So, my dear friend Alana over at Life on the Mom List shares my deep love for wine (or is it alcohol in general?) and when she came up with the awesome idea for Wine Wednesday, I pretty much sang her praises to the heavens (and world!)

So when I got to the grocery store last week and saw some Crane Lane wine for 3 for $10, I immediately thought, "OMG, WINE WEDNESDAY!"

I usually pick up their Riesling but I thought, hmm, I guess I can try something different and so I did.

My pick for the week?

Crane Lane Moscato

I couldn't wait to get home. It had been a long day and we were grocery shopping at 7P. With an unhappy toddler.

It was about to get ugly.

So the minute I got home, I told M, "Crack that baby open and pour me a glass!"

And he more than happily obliged.

He took the first sip and I saw his lips purse. I got nervous and I watched anxiously to see his reaction because, let's face it, he's a tough cookie to please with food and alcohol. But I knew it was a good choice when he closed his eyes and lightly shook his head from side to side in enjoyment. It was going to be a winner.

And indeed it was.

Light, fruity, and the perfect amount of not-too-sweet. It was perfect for the day I had had. Not to mention, one glass took the edge off not TOO much but just the right amount without having too much of an alcohol flavor. It was yummy straight out of the fridge (which is how I store my wine people. Don't judge. I like it cold.) but even more surprisingly, it was one of those wines that I could drink at, GASP! Room Temperature.

I was impressed. So impressed that I contemplated taking my other two bottles of Rieslings back to the store and exchanging them for Moscatos. Because I'm classy like that.

And did I mention that it was 3 for $10. 3 for $10! Let me break that down for you people...that is $3.33 PER bottle! That's wine-ing on a serious budget.

Surprisingly though, I've only found this gem at my local Sprouts, Henrys and TJs. So if you spot this little gem out and about in your local wine aisle, nab this baby up. You won't be disappointed, I promise!

And be sure to go visit Alana at Life on the Mom List, Lindsey at Tidbits Parenting and Johnna at Domesticated Delight and hear what they drank for the week!

Wine Wednesday was started and created by Alana at Life on the Mom List. I do not condone excessive use of alcohol. Drink at your own risk. This is strictly for fun and for blogging purposes only. I did not get paid for this review and bought my 3 for $10 bottle on my own. However, if Crane Lake would like to send me a lifetime supply, I am on board with that.
