Tipsy Tuesday- Marietta California Old Vine Red Lot No. 54

I have been drinking this red blend since it was Lot No. 19.   Marietta California Old Vine Red No. 54 is a Zinfandel based blend.  The mix is always flavorful, with a hint of fruit and pepper.  Old Vine Red is enjoyable with meat and pasta, but you know me, I usually drink it with chips and dip.  It's a deal at $10 a bottle.
Definitely try Marietta California Old Vine Red Lot No. 54 or any other lot number you can find.  It's delish!

Tipsy Tuesday- Dr. Konstantin Frank Semi Dry Riesling

I'm baaaaaack!  This stupid sinus infection is finally gone.  I cannot believe that I was out of commission for over a week.  Welcome to my new and old followers.  I am sorry I haven't been more interesting.

Anyway, for my late edition of Tispsy Tuesdays, I am reviewing

Dr. Konstantin Frank Semi Dry Riesling

It's vintage is 2009 and is described as semi dry.  Reislings can be pretty sweet.  Dr. K's has the hint of sweetness, but is not too sugary or fruity.  Another great wine I would drink with appetizers, desserts, or at any family BBQ.  It would be a nice complement to a delicious grilled fruit dessert.  (Maybe I will review a yummy grilled fruit recipe later this week- I owe you guys something good!)

Here is another review of Dr. Konstantin Frank Semi Dry Riesling.  It gets great reviews!

Another thing that I like about this vino is that it is from a vineyard in the Finger Lake region of NY.  Check out a review about this vineyard from James Flynn's Wine Blog here.

You all know that I am pretty cheap when it comes to my wine.  (I mean in price, not in flavor).  Try this bottle for about $13.  It's delicious!
Cheers!

Tipsy Tuesday Volume II- Forza Moscato

As I was perusing the alcohol aisle at my local Costco, I was stunned to see a favorite of mine for $6 for 1.5 Liters. (Yes that's a BIG bottle, my friends!)

 Forza Moscato

For those of you who have not tried Moscato, it is a light flavored white wine.  It tastes like a sweet and sugary dessert!  Forza Moscato is described as a "refreshing wine product."

Check out its review on What's In Your Glass?

I think I am developing a pattern here.  Most of the "beverages" I prefer tend to be light and easy to consume.  Forza Moscato is great on a hot, humid evening (we've been having LOTS of those here on Long Island- not good for your hair, but JUST FINE to drink in). 

It is easy to serve and "likeable" (I'm giving it a "thumbs up" in my head.)

It is also an AMAZING value at $6 for 1.5Liters. 

I DOUBLE HEART Costco!

Cheers,
