friday field trip
This week’s Friday field trip is to a liquor store…not very characteristic of me, since I am not a big drinker and I am not usually the one in the family to make the trip to the liquor store… but, I am on a mission…I am looking for a ‘beachy’ bottle of wine! I am one of those people that has to love the packaging as much (or more) than the product I am purchasing.
At this time of year, there should be plenty of beautiful summer labels to choose from…my only criteria is that it can’t be a red and it can’t be expensive. (Although I am pretty sure for the right awesomely beautiful label/bottle, the criteria may just fly out the window.)
Instead of showing you photos of a liquor store or some of the contenders, I will cut right to the chase and show you photos of the winning bottle! It is a wine called SeaGlass. Love it! This bottle happens to be a sauvignon blanc.
Now, this selection is merely by aesthetics. I won’t know if the the taste measures up until the tasting, over the weekend. The label indicates it is a perfect choice for light summer fare, so it sounds perfect! I will give you a full critique of the tasting on my facebook page, if you want to check it out at the end of the weekend. https://www.facebook.com/insimplethings
Great, isn’t it? Growing up, I always called the glass I collected along the shore, ‘beach glass,’ but it seems most people use the term ‘sea glass.’ Either way, it is beautiful. The website for the manufacturer, SeaGlass Wines, is just as beautiful…if you want to check out their other varieties of wine, or just admire their website: www.seaglasswines.com
With temperatures in Connecticut in the 90’s, I think I will put my bottle of SeaGlass right in the fridge to cool down until the testing!
Does anyone have a ‘beachy’ bottle photo they would like to share on facebook or twitter? I would love to see them!
