When I saw this on sale at BevMo, I had to buy it. I’ve been meaning too try these wines anyway, because if I can save the world while drinking wine, why would I NOT do that? 50% of proceeds are donated to partner charities. One Hope originally began their focus on Breast Cancer, Autism and AIDS but have since branched outward to the environment and helping military families. The Sauvignon Blanc benefits the environment, [...]

We have been fans of Luna for quite some time.   In fact, La Jolla Dad enjoyed tastings at the winery before we were married.  The Pinot Grigio was one of my favorites, well before we received this bottle complimentary for review.  The 2007 vintage is something that you could very easily serve to a crowd because I just bought it at VONS Pacific Beach on super sale for a bit under $10. It would be great paired [...]

Wine Wednesday – Clif Family Winery: The Climber 2008 White Wine

Clif Family Winery is the Wine Wednesday theme for today.  Last week, I posted solely about the winery itself, because I loved reading about their environmental efforts.  I also have eaten my fair share of Clif Bars and LUNA bars.  Our Trader Joes has a big display of them. I enjoyed The Climber 2006 Red Wine, but The Climber 2008 White Wine is my favorite.  I might be biased, however, as I’m currently on a white [...]

This was a total impulse buy.  I have a slightly emotional attachment to Pomelos because we used to buy them all the time in Hong Kong.  Pomelo is a very large citrus fruit (looks like a grapefruit on steroids) that is native to South East Asia.  Because they are very difficult to peel, we’d buy it already peeled.  It was expensive.  It was (probably still is) La Jolla Girl’s favorite fruit.  She could eat buckets of [...]

This is the Chardonnay that I mentioned last week in my Challis Lane post.  The manager at BevMo said that customers are raving about Donovan Parke Chardonnay, because it’s one of those almost “too good to be true” kinds of wines at the BevMo 5 cent sale.  It retails normally for $11.99 so with the second bottle at 5 cents, that’s $6.02 per bottle.  A pretty good deal. There is limited information available online about this [...]

I bought this wine at Costco and I believe I paid around $7.99 for it. I had heard of it before because I read it received a 90 rating by Wine Spectator which, to me, is a pretty reliable indicator that it’s good. But it’s even better at that bargain price. We go to the Fishery in Pacific Beach for takeout every once in a while. I would suggest it to anyone that likes ceviche [...]
