Gold Medal Wine Club Review

My mother has gotten into wine the last 3 years or so. I cannot stand wine, I think it is an acquired taste. When I had the chance to taste test some wines from the Gold Medal Wine Club, I instantly thought of my mother. She would be my guinea pig because had I tasted the stuff, I’d instantly say it was nasty, lol. It took my mother a while to unwrap the wines. They were packaged so nicely that she didn’t want to touch them. I had my mother taste the bottle of Merlot first. She really didn’t like it. She said it was kind of oily, something that my uncle would enjoy. She did however mix half of the Merlot with Beringer White Zinfandel and it tasted fine after the mix. Next she tried the Chardonnay which was fine, she mixed it with Beringer White Zinfandel because she’s used to mixing, but the Chardonnay was fine all by itself.

The wine came with a newsletter which featured facts, recipes, and news about the wine industry, something I’m sure all wine enthusiasts would enjoy. I found the Food For Thought recipe column interesting. I’m always seeing chefs on tv tossing wine in their creations and I’m curious to know what it is about wine that gives certain dishes that *OMPH*.

Christmas is right around the corner but it isn’t too late to get your wine lovers a membership to Gold Medal Wine Club. Choose from Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and International wine clubs. There’s something for every taste bud.

POS Ultrasound Machine Broken

The ultrasound machine is broken. Rescheduled for the 17th. I’m calling elsewhere because this doesn’t make any sense. I cannot wait until AFTER Christmas to be seen by someone. At this rate of people getting sick and machines breaking, I will have to.

I Won An ItzBeen!

I won an ItzBeen Baby Care Timer from the Mom Views Scavenger Hunt Blog Party! I am so excited, I’m definitely going to post a review for the ItzBeen when we start using it. For those who don’t know what an ItzBeen is, it’s a multi-purpose nursery tool that helps new parents remember the basic details of baby care. Greg and I will are really looking forward to playing with this gadget .

Thanks Mom Views!

I Knew It

Just got back from the doctor, the ultrasound technician went home sick. Great. We had to reschedule for Friday. I just knew things weren’t going to go smoothly.
