Light Red
Vigne del Pellagroso
Lombardy, Italy

Beautiful garnet color. Has a bottle cap, but don’t let that dissuade you. Pop and there’s the tart cherry and a little barnyard that wanders away. Takes a little bit, but is totally worth it. Gives you a touch of the dark side funk. Bring on the funk. Slosh around in your glass, and taste the juicy fruity tangy cherry, tart strawberries, a little funky which dissipates and is refreshing and silky with a touch of good darkness (embrace it you know you want to). I want this and a picnic waiting on me after I finish rowing. Some mortadella and salami, some squishy cheese, some crusty bread, and a slab of butter. Confession there are times during lockdown, I have found myself craving Kerrygold, and eating a good slice of it in the dark. Don’t look at me in shame. You know you all have cracked, and done something like this. 

Pairs with Cheez-Its: makes it even more lively and spirited, and the cheez-its deeper

Butter and Spice and Everything Nice

Clos du Tue-Boeuf
Vin Rouge 2019
Gamay

Bright glistening ruby color. Remember when you were a kid, and had a Ring Pop and felt special. That’s the color. First sniff is butter and spice. Next comes cherry and raspberry tart funk that is airing out with a little pepper. Now as for the taste, it starts off tart cherry, plum, raspberry, salt, light tiny flowers dancing and smooth. Full flavor. Bitter stone. As time goes by it becomes a sweeter more full wine. Still sleek and silky youngster with a tart end. Easy drinker.

Pairs with Cheez-Its: same as above but smoothes out even more. More flowers. Bitter touch is gone. I think it even brings out a spice…cardamom?. Definitely enhances the salt of the cheez-it. I’m going to get so fat doing these.

For Vino Only

For Vino Only (I love my mom)
Some of you know I recently started “Pairs with Cheez-its”, due to dad sending me 2 boxes in isolation care packages. Well, mom somehow got wind that I was doing this, and sent the pictured bag. My parents don’t have cable or internet, and have no way of following anything I’m doing on social media. They also don’t drink by choice all of their lives and at first were not thrilled when I took a shine to wine. When I opened up this surprise package, it made me cry my eyes out, as you can see why in the pic. Also mom is still fighting stage 3B lung cancer, otherwise known as Adenocarcinoma, which is found in non smokers. I have no idea when I will see them again. If you are with your mom today, or any mom today, hug them hard. Tell them you love them. Happy Mother’s Day to every one! Gotta go and call mom. #mothersday #wine @cheezit @cheezits_official_ #cheezit
