Since having bebe O I have to admit wine just isn't the same. Until tonight that is. Tonight I'm sipping an Australian Shiraz that I bottled in one of those make your own wine places. I know what you're thinking, aren't those places for diy weddings and the ultra cheap? Well my dear reader, I am the ultra cheap in case you forgot and I swear the Winexpert Australian Shiraz is actually good. So good that after a long day of Mommy-ing I cracked a bottle open and rekindled my love for that sweet red nectar. I won't lie, I've been saving my 2012 Ridge Road Pinot Noir and a very fancy Argentinian red I got from a work supervisor until I got my vino groove back. Well consider it back, and that's all thanks to a Shiraz that came out to under $5 a bottle. A pretty full-bodied red, it isn't overwhelming or too alcohol-y which you might expect for a kit. It's on the dry side and good for sipping on its own or with popcorn - my favourite pairing.
Here's the link for this particular kit and look forward to more posts on the pros and cons of home and in-store wine making in the near future.
