My Winc Wine Experience And How You Can Save $22 On Your Winc Wine Order

winc wine subscription

If you're a wine lover, addict like me, let me let you in on a monthly wine club subscription that you may or may not have heard about.  Winc is an online wine club site that offers 4 personalized wines each month. Bottles start at $13 each. Winc is not your traditional wine club: they are a direct-distribution global wine company that personalizes the entire wine experience, perfecting how wine is made, distributed, perceived and purchased via their Palate Profile quiz that recommends wine based on your unique tastes and enjoyed on behalf of a new generation of wine drinkers. 

red wine white wine

I received my 4 bottles of wine a few days ago and I must admit, Winc done a pretty good job of choosing 4 random flavors, based off the results of the quiz I took.  I will have to say (and this should come to no shock if you know me) but the Merlot was my favorite...or was it the Rosa Obscura (red wine?)  Either way, these were my two favorites!  I don't drink white wine, not that I don't like it, but Merlot has always been my top pick.  The Funk Zone was a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and two other white wines and I actually liked this wine.  It was a little on the dry side, but that is how I like my wine.  The Funk Zone bottle was a fun designed looking bottle, which made it the first one I opened.

winc wine red wine white wine

The bottles came carefully well packaged in a box, that displays the company's name, Winc.  I had a convenient handle at the top, easy for carrying around.  Inside the box were the 4 bottles, nicely nestled under crate material.  The selection I chose were 2 white and 2 reds.  I can't tell you how eager I was to tear into each one, but being the more responsible and somewhat patient person I am...I decided to open two - just to compare Winc's red and white.



I really enjoyed taste testing each wine, comparing them to my normal brand.  I hate to say this (or maybe I don't) but I really enjoyed Winc Wine better.  Maybe it's the quality, as my normal brand is probably the cheapest you can get, so it does matter (and makes a difference) in what you purchase and sometimes paying just a little bit more, is worth having a wine you know you will always love and count on.


You can take your Personal Palate Quiz and find out which wines Winc choose for you.  Remember...when you can receive $22 off your first subscription, just by being a new member.  you can visit: www.trywinc.com/usfamilyguide to get started now!

Yoga, Wine and The Bachelor Yoga Tank by Baffle

When it comes to Summer clothing, I am a big fan of shorts and tank tops.  I love loose tank tops and tank tops that make a statement.  The tank top shown here, is a tank top that I think many women would love!  I mean...come on...what woman doesn't love wine?  The Bachelor?  Yoga?  Ok, maybe your're not into yoga, but this tank top is awesome!

It comes in 6 different, vibrant bright colors; Shocking Pink (as shown here), Neon Green, Black, White, Banana Cream and Tahiti Blue.  The tank top has a racer back and the front displays the words; Yoga, wine & The Bachelor.  The tank top is 65% polyester and 35% Cotton.  It already comes preshrunk, so no worry about it shrinking any more.



I decided to go with a Large, as that is the size I normally get when trying on tops and tank tops.  This Large, however, is made just a tad bit smaller than the Large I am used to.  It hugs my body, a little more than I like, but it's still a cute tank top.  It has a comfortable fit and the tank top is lightweight and feels really soft.

If you are wanting a looser tank top, I would order one size larger than your regular size.  I love the bright color of the Shocking Pink.  It is a very pretty pink that I love and the wording on the tank top cannot be mistaken, as the lettering is in bold black, perfect color combo for this tank.

You can purchase your own Yoga, Wine and Bachelor tank top on Amazon, at: https://www.amazon.com/Baffle-Bachelor-Womens-Burnout-Racerback/dp/B01GPACA6A?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0

#Winebee Red Wine Trio

Ok, so you probably know by now, if you've been following me, that I love my wine.  I'm an avid wine lover and red wine's seem to be my favorite.  Don't get me wrong, I love white wine's, but some of them tend to be a little too sweet for my taste.  I love wines that have a rich, robust and dry taste.  That's why red is my way to go.  



I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to enjoy not one, but three bottles of Wine Bee's red wines.  The trio that I tried (which I may say I absolutely loved!) were; Quota 31 Primitivo 2012, Castello Vicchiomaggio - Rippa delle Mandorle 2013 and Luretta - Gutturnio Superiore 2012.  All three of these red wines had a distinct flavor that I loved.  



The first bottle I tried was the Luretta- Gutturnio Superiore 2012.  After one glass of this, I thought this was going to by my favorite.  It had a rich, dry and robust flavor that I loved.  It made a statement and you knew you were drinking a good quality wine....but then I tried Quota 31 Primitivo 2012...hands down...my favorite!  Maybe because it contained 14% alcohol, or maybe it had that dry, still taste of rich black fruit, spicy plum and licorice, either way, I fell in love with it!  It had such a nice, smooth flavor.  The third bottle, Castello Vicchiomaggio - :Rippa delle Mandorle 2013 was another awesome wine.  It contains 13% alcohol and has a blend of Cabernet and Sangiovese.  This wine has a fruity taste with hints of dark cherry and black currants with subtle oak and herbal notes.


All three of these wines had such an addicting taste.  After I went through all three bottles, I went to my local store and bought my regular...Merlot.  I was sad to say, that I had gotten so used to the great tasting Quota 31 Primitivo 2012, that my regular Merlot kind of let me down! 

So, a little more info about each of the wines I've tasted.  You can purchase these bottles, as well as other Italian wines, from Wine Bee's site.  They also have the trio listed on Amazon.

Vino Slush Mix

Who doesn't love a nice, cold frozen drink during the summer time?  Okay, I know it's just about winter right now, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy a nice frozen or even chilled drink in front of a nice, warm fire.  One of my favorite drinks is a frozen drink, mixed with wine....imagine that!  It can be chilled, frozen or on the rocks, it doesn't matter.  

This Vino Slush Mix, shown below, is a mix that you can mix with a bottle of wine...red or white...doesn't matter, but I prefer it with red.  All you have to do is mix it, freeze it and then serve.  It's as simple as that.  When you hear the name Vino Slush, the first thing that may come to your mind is a slushy... and you would be correct, because this Vino Slush Mix, when frozen and then allowed to thaw a bit, becomes a slushy.  


The Vino Slush Mix contains all natural ingredients: Tea, Citric Acid, Sugar, Natural Flavoring and Beet Powder.  When mixed with wine, it tastes absolutely delicious!  Not too sweet, but sweet enough.  Depending also on the wine you use, it can be sweeter when used with a Moscato wine or less sweet, by using a Merlot.  Either way, this tastes divine! I also like to turn this into a Sangria.  Just add a bottle of your favorite wine to the mix, add slices of desired fruit and then chill in the frig for a few hours!  The fruit actually absorbs the alcohol from the wine and makes for a great Sangria.


If you do not drink alcoholic beverages...that's no problem.  This Vino Slush Mix tastes just as good in Cranberry juice, Apple juice, non-alcoholic wine, Sparkling juices and Pomegranate juice, without the alcohol content.  You can have it both ways and still have a very enjoyable and refreshing drink.

AND....since Christmas and the New Year's is about to come upon us, this would make an excellent gift.  Anyone who loves wine, this would be the idea gift to give.  It turns wine into something totally different.  You can purchase this at VinoSlush.com.  They have Vino Slush Bulks that you can purchase in 30lb cases.  Another reason to hit this up for holiday gifts!   Have a wedding or party coming up, why not purchase some Vino Slush Mix and see how it impresses your guests.  I bet they will be asking what your secret is after their first sip.  Serve this wine mix in a nice large pitcher, topped with various fruits at parties or events or frozen and served as a Granita.

Get Naked - With Naked Winery Wines #NakedWinery


You heard me...Get Naked!  It's time to get Naked with Naked Winery!  If you've been following me, you should know by now, just how much I love my wine!  And when I notice the name, Naked Winery, I had to check it out.  Yep, the name says it all!  It's sassy, classy and very creative...just like their wines.


How do you like your wine?  Chilled or not chilled. Red or White. Sweet or a rich full bodied flavor?  There are many types and flavors of wine and Naked Winery has you covered.  It's almost challenging to pick or choose the right wine with certain foods and certain occasions. Red wines tend to go well with red meat, steaks and cheeses.  My personal favorite red wine is Merlot.  White wines, such as Muscato, are sweet and will go well with crab, lobster or shellfish.



Some of the wines that I received from Naked Winery (and may I add, I graciously thank Naked Winery!), include the following.  Take note, these aren't your classic 'names' for wines, but they sure are fun and I had a blast reading the back labels of each one.

  • Sure Thing Symphony- hints of pineapple, mango and citrus - sweet goodness
  • Naked Winery Merlot - smooth and fruity. notes of dark cherry, blackberry & black currant
  • Gay Rose - light and fruity
  • Outdoor Vino Rambling Red - blend of Merlot & Cabernet. Full Flavor and smooth.
  • Climax Red Blend - Big, Robust and fulfilling flavor
  • Outdoor Vino Picnic Table Pink - Sweet, light and carefree
  • Hook Up Muscat 2014 - floral hints of orange peel & wild flowers. Big and Bold
  • Penetration Cabernet Sauvignon - cherry & black currant. Soft oak a leathery notes
  • Foreplay Chardonnay - crisp & refreshing.  hint of juicy green apples & ripe pears
  • Naked Pinot Noir - 
  • Outdoor Vino Wanderlust White - hint of sweetness exploding with fruit flavors.  Perfect for BBQ's
  • Naked Pinot Gris - smooth, ripe and silky. Light and playful fruity flavors of candied green apples.

NOW.....I'm sure you noticed the clever names...Climax Red, Penetration Cabernet and Foreplay Chardonnay? Yep, very clever and unique.  And each bottle has it's own little quote on the back of the bottle, their take, on what the wine stands for (be prepared for some PG-13 reading!)  Naked Winery has any type of wine you may be looking for.  They have Sweet, Red, Whites, Outdoor Vinos and Orgasmic wines.  Yes, I said Orgasmic wines!  You can purchase individual bottles or purchase them in bundles.  Some of the bundles include: Pink Passion Pack, Smitten Kitten and Dirty Dozen, just to name a few.  Check out Naked Winery's site and see all the creative wines they have.  



My favorite out of all the Naked Winery Wines?  ALL OF THEM!  Okay, but since I'm a regular Merlot drinker, trying the Sure Thing Symphony was one of my favorite White Wines.  It had hints of Pineapple, Mango and citrus flavors and a nice sweet taste to it.

With a name like Naked Winery and the theme of their whole wines, it's hard to not check out their wide variety of wines!

Unbreakable Silicone Wine Glasses Review

I will be the first to admit...I'm clumsy.  I bump into things, trip over things and even drop things, constantly!  I even had an episode not too long ago, where I was coming inside the house, from the hot tub and slid across my kitchen floor, wine glass in hand and fell...hence, wine glass shattered everywhere!  Yeah, not a good idea to RUN into the house with wet feet and a wood floor!


That's why I was so excited to try these Unbreakable Silicone Wine Glasses.  They are not only cute, but very functional, safe and unbreakable...really!  I'm glad these are dishwasher safe, as the instructions recommend to wash these wine glasses before using, to get rid of the silicone smell and any residue that may be left from making them.

These Silicone wine glasses have almost a frosted look to them.  Once I poured my Merlot into one of the glasses, it gave off a nice pretty purple hue (I know, I know...it's not about the prettiness of the wine in the glass), but really, I loved it!

Now, I still love my REAL wine glass.  I feel when using a real wine glass, I actually feel more sophisticated!  But drinking from these silicone wine glasses was actually fun.  It didn't change the way my wine tasted or anything like that, but at least I know, when using these glasses, I won't have to worry about tiny shards of glass all over my floor.


These silicone wine glasses are perfect by a pool, at a picnic, camping and even in the jacuzzi.  These #1 Unbreakable Silicone Wine Glasses are by Bacchus Break and come with a lifetime, no hassle-money back guarantee.  There's no reason not to pick up these silicone wine glasses.  You have nothing to lose and I bet you may actually enjoy drinking from these while at a BBQ or when serving...(cough, cough), certain people at your party!

They are BPA free, eco-friendly and come in a set of two, 16oz.  They are kid friendly and safe for everyone.

If you would like your own Unbreakable Silicone Wine Glasses, head on over to Bacchus Break's Amazon page and grab yours today!

To anyone and everyone who knows me, you know that I LOVE my wine.  My favorites are Merlot and Cabernet, but I do like some of the sweeter wines, they just don't last as long as my dryer red wines.  Besides, red wine is now know to be good for the heart...BIG PLUS!

This wine opener set has a lifetime guarantee, long lasting and completely safe to use on all wine bottles.  This wine opener set is a perfect gift for any wine drinker.  The vacuum stopper has a silver knob at the top, that allows you to pump your opened wine, to keep it fresh.  The amount of wine in the bottle, depends on how many pumps it takes.

VinoMio #WineChiller Review and #Giveaway

I love my wine, especially Merlot and Pinot Grigio!  Sometimes, I may want a glass of wine before I can get it chilled enough to drink.  Yes...I love all my wines chilled, but it doesn't' have to be perfectly chilled...just not room temperature!  



That  is why I couldn't pass up the offer to try the VinoMio #WineChiller! This Wine Chiller came in a perfect sized white box, with exactly what the wine chiller looks like.  I was not familiar how one worked, so I read the instructions on how to use it.  Very self explanatory and very very easy.

Most people, including me, keeps the wine chiller in the freezer until ready to use.  This will make sure that your wine chiller is always chilled and always ready for use.  The instructions states that you should pour about a 1/4 cup or glass of wine from the bottle ( I just dranked a 1/4 cup from the bottle...no biggie!), screw that tip to the metal rod and place chiller in the wine bottle until the rubber part of the tip is secure...almost like you are re-corking the bottle.


Once you pour the wine from the wine chiller, it also aerates the wine to a more pleasant smooth taste.  The wine chiller also keeps your wine chilled to the perfect temp.  I will admit, I thought this wine chiller would keep my bottle of wine chilled if I left the bottle out for several hours, but found that although it didn't keep it chilled several hours, it did, however, keep it perfectly chilled for at least 2 hours.  Not bad for a bottle of wine being left out that long. 

This stainless steel wine chiller is suitable for all wines...Red, White, Sparkling wines, Champagne and more.  This wine chiller is perfect for pool parties, BBQ's, family get togethers and picnics.  The VinoMio wine chiller can be taken with you everywhere you go. It fits perfectly inside most purses.  The VinoMio wine chiller fits perfectly inside the bottle of wine and has a non-drip pouring spout.

Pre-chilled wines and Rose wines will stay chilled for up to an hour while the Red wines will reduce to an ambient temp within 10-20 minutes.  The VinoMio Wine Chiller is sleek and sophisticated in design an makes the perfect accessory to any party or gathering.


If you want to purchase the VinoMio Wine Chiller, you can do so by going to Amazon and getting yours today.  You may also want to check out their Facebook Page. 
















GIVEAWAY ALERT!!!!  

You can win your own VinoMio Wine Chiller by entering today!  That's right...enter the giveaway for a chance to win this awesome #winechiller!
