I messaged DH asking him to bring home some wine for dinner - chianti or cab for the meatloaf, and something sweeter to drink later. Thinking "ask for ALL THE WINE. Do it!" I was a good girl though and stayed to the point.
DH came home with 6 bottles of wine. Including our favorite sweet red, a rose, moscato, and a type we've never tried before. He got a discount with the bag. I went from vaguely grumpy (CD 1) to dancing in my seat.
Does your DH ever turn pleasantly psychic on you? OR... what's your favorite wine?

Re: Psychic DH strikes again!
Lol
We are kinda winos lol. I love me a good Red Zinfandel or a Moscato
H tried to surprise me with some wine that tastes like cheesecake. It was GODAWFUL!
Did you know that if you sign up for their little member program at World Market you get 10% off each bottle of wine when you buy 6 bottles or more. It's genius.
H is great about random surprises. Like he bought me a pack of those aloe infused pedicure socks just because he was in the store and saw them.

That being said, I'm a fan of cabernet franc. I had it a couple years back and got hooked, but it's hard to find.
My usual sarcastic response to what kind of wine I like is 'the kind with alcohol in it" but I am a self-professed wino. Chianti all the way! It's my favorite, so approachable and friendly. God I miss wine...so so sooo much... ~X(

And @Ladymouse I hope it doesn't become a hobby to make it. That shit takes up a LOT of space. But at least I will have plenty of wine for me in a couple years. I just have to look at all the bottles in the meantime.

Any idea what the maker is? I've only had it come from Oregon. I will see if I can find it up in Minnesota.

But a huge fan of Malbec, Carmenere, or a good French Grenache blend. Fav brand is Castillero del Diablo from Chile.
If you haven't tried it, the Little Red Box Cab Sav is actually a pretty solid cheap but good choice.
DP is is amazing at knowing the days that I need a glass/bottle.... STAT!
And yes, DH regularly reads my mind. It's to the point now where if he says something and I give him a look he says "I was in your brain again, wasn't I?"
My Chart
Chocolat Rouge is the BEST!!! I like the Dark - haven't tried the one that looks like chocolate milk but a bad experience with one like it has prevented that. It really is like someone dipped chocolate into the wine and forgot about it. The best of both worlds!
What Are Your Thoughts on Tap Dancing Penguins?
My mister pulled through in a big way this weekend. We just went through our first medicated/assisted cycle and I had B2B IUIs on Thursday and Friday. He booked us a weekend getaway at my favorite resort hotel in Vegas and I am laying by the pool right now. I needed this trip so much, the IF stuff has just gotten so "real" these last few weeks. God, I love this man.
Hope you all are having great weekends!
