While I was in Boston I tried a really good wine and was eager to see if I could find it when I returned home. I knew I wanted to feature it so I had D'man run over to or favorite wine store and he found it, well he found the Chardonnay, and we had the Pinot in Boston and that was fine as I wanted to try this one too.
So today I am featuring Cupcake {I love that name} . This is a 2008 Chardonnay.
" Our vineyards work hard to bring you the biggest, richest Chardonnay from California's desirable Central Coast, where the sun-drenched gapes create full and elegantly-textured wine. Decadent flavors of butter cream, bright citrus and vanilla melt into a balance of oak and subtle spice. In other words: Sinful! Serve chilled with crab cakes, seared Ahi tuna on waffle crackers or fresh-baked French bread and cheese."
We both really loved this wine a lot and D'man said he is going to go back and get more. It's about $15.00 a bottle which is a great price for a good tasting wine.
So many of you know that I went up to Boston to visit some blogger friends. Boston is so beautiful and very pretty. We did so much it's going to take me days to get all my pictures uploaded and give you all the full low down. But I wanted to give you a little taste of what I saw while in the city walking around.
I meet some great people that I am so happy to call my friends and can't wait to see them all again soon!
This week I am doing my 13 pet peeves. You know we all have them so here are mine.
1) Hearing mom and me saying yes then hearing mom again and me saying yes and still the kids saying mom again....I want to scream!
2) Slurping....anything like soup or drinks or just and kind of slurping. This drives me nuts!
3) When I ask the kids if their room is clean, because they have been up there now for 30 minutes supposedly cleaning it, and they say "ummm I didn't know I was suppose to clean my room"
4) When there is dishes left in the sink and the dishwasher is right freakin next to the sink!
5) When the dog barks to go outside and everyone in the room just looks at him then back at the TV.
6) People who chew their gum loud! I have heard some pretty loud chewers and it drives me crazy.
7) Putting gas in my car....I don't know why but I hate getting gas. I will let my SUV go all the way down until the thing says 1 mile until you run out....I just hate getting gas!
8) Hearing people complain about their problems over and over again and not doing anything about it.
9) When D'man leaves a red wine ring on the counter....this drives me up a wall....clean it up buddy before it stains!
10) When I can't find anything to wear in the morning....this can really set my mood for the day.
11) D'man will have like three glasses of drinks all over the house. Who needs three drinks at one time? Really he does this.....he will have a soda, a glass of wine, and water.
12) The TV turned up to deaf con 15!
13) And my biggest pet peeve.... Whining!
