The wine


As you know I like booze. 
Beer or wine, whatever and I'm not fussy - box wine, cheep beer.

My gal Sherri and I went to a wine tasting a few weeks ago. 
A local gal opened up a coffee shop that also has a consignment area.

We sampled some fantastic wines and beer that were all locally brewed/grown in our area.
They had some delicious cheese, crackers and assorted snacks to go with the wine too

We had the best time.
Met some fun folks.

I ended up buying some wine.
Just one bottle mind you, cuz it was 15 bucks!
I've never spent that much on one bottle of wine.
(im cheap, what can I say)

BUT 
Oh LORDY LORDY is it the absolute BEST wine I've ever had!

It's Magenta by River Bend Vineyard & Winery.

Magenta.
By the end of the evening I couldn't say that word at all, kept saying Magneta and cracking up lol

Me, drinking a fantastic glass of Magenta.
Definitely going to have to get some more of it and attend the next wine tasting!

ha ha ha funny. I just recently discovered whipped cream flavored vodka with orange juice. Tastes like a creamcycle - it's good!

Kellie,. you are a crack up. I like cheap wine and beer too. cant pay that much for a bottle either. I found some at WalMart last week for $3.77/bottle. it was Oak Leaf brand. Sweet Red. Bill likes it, so think I'll go get more. there is a winery in Homer that has good wine, but it is spendy too. I quit buying wine in box cause I thought that I wouldnt drink so much.. hmmmmm.. didnt work :-) the box wines are getting spendy up here too. In fact all alcohol prices went up on January 1.

xooxo

Sounds like fun! I'm such a lightweight, I'm usually the designated driver because more than one drink has me asleep in a corner and I don't get to enjoy the rest of the evening. Love the picture - you sure have a lapful of cozy critters.
