The Bar Is Open

It's Friday night and the bar is open! We won't be having our usual cocktails tonight, though. It's a lovely breezy evening, perfect for a bottle of wine.

Wine snobs will likely scoff at our choice this evening, but I'm okay with that. We're not wine snobs, we'll try almost any wine regardless of variety or price, so we will be enjoying our Gallo Moscato without their approval.

If you've never had it, Moscato is a sweet wine. It's not the sort of wine I would want to drink every day, but it's refreshing in the summer time.

If you're enjoying some wine or other drinks this evening, please remember to do so responsibly. Happy Friday, everyone!

Gallo was a sponsor for a cooking show I did on PBS thereforhad the opportunity to try their line which honestly I would have never purchased myself -much less my hubs who is a big wine snob. You know what? They were pretty good! Especially the whites for sprintzers with frozen green grapes on a hot day. The reds were perfect for sangria too. Cheers Willo! Have a sparkling weekend!

Abby - My brother is a wine snob, too (I use the term affectionately, it's not a bad thing!). He would laugh at me for buying Gallo and thinks sweet wines are like Kool-Aid! Moscato is too sweet for some people, but I like it in the summertime (and the Gallo was only $4 a bottle!). Some of our favorite wines are from Australia, but we'll try anything.

Have you tried Portuguese Green Wine? So delicious and refreshing ( and dirt cheap) perfect for summer.
