flipflop Wine Review

Not very many know that I love a glasses of wine on occasion. My husband and I have attend food & wine festival just so we could learn about different wines and taste. So when I was given a chance to taste flipflop wines, I was more then happy to. I was given the chance to review flipflop Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Pinot Noir. Out of the three I would have to say that my favorite was the Pinot Grigio. I was very pleased with the taste. It has a refreshing crisp taste to it. I like the subtle hints of pear that you can taste also. Here are some facts on each flavor.

When I decided to do the wine tasting it just happen to fall on Memorial Day Weekend and we were heading to a friends house for a BBQ. So I decide to take along my flipflop wine and let me friends have a taste. To say there were all impressed does not do it justice. They loved all three flavors and felt that the fact sheet I received with each wine hit the taste on the head.  I think I stunned them all when I informed them that flipflop wine retails for around $7.00 a bottle. Yes you read that right just $7.00. I am pleased to say that the wine was a hit and I have no more left to sample :( I was very pleased to be able to introduce my friends to the great wines by flipflop. I know I am personally looking forward to trying some of there other offerings.

As always, please remember to drink responsibly when you are drinking these or any other wines or alcoholic beverages.

You have to give extra credit were it is due. I am pleased to say that in 2011, flipflop wines and Underdog Wine Merchants are partnering with Soles4Souls to help them achieve their goal of 11 million pairs of shoes in 2011.  For every bottle of flipflop wine that is purchased, Soles4Souls will distribute a pair of shoes to someone in need. (up to 100,000 pairs in the first year). Thank you flipflop for given back where it is needed.
