So You know typically when I do a review for alcohol I am usually rambling on about wine! This time around though I got a chance to review what I affectionately call the "hard stuff" thanks to the folks at Soltado Tequila. Tequila is the main ingredient in my favorite mixed drink the Margarita so of course I wanted to be able to review some with it becoming all sultry outside already! I like nothing more than to sit out on the patio with my tablet and the bluetooth speaker and drinking something cold in the evenings! Oh, and sometimes I like to sneak some down to the pool in one of my water bottles! Tequila has a weird history around my drinking circle- which is really just David, his dad , his brother and their friend Brad. I don't know why exactly but my brother in law and brad will not touch tequila at all because of some bad experience that I don't even know anything about- I think it happened one time when they all drank together and David and I were at my … [Read more...]

Please make sure you are of legal drinking age in your country before purchasing /enjoying alcoholic beverages. This is a review of Alcoholic Beverages. Please drink responsibly! Another wine review you ask? Of course! There is nothing better than trying different wines in exchange for review! I think it is making me more well rounded wine wise- and maybe a smidge tipsy at the same time- that is why I made a new category to put the wine reviews in "The Tipsy Reviews" I am trying to go back through the blog and add the relevant reviews to that category :) fun times! I especially like a nice cool crisp glass of wine in the evening, especially in the summer ! When one of my wine contacts asked if I would be interested in reviewing 2 selections from Sterling Vineyards  I was pretty excited- especially because 1 of the 2 was pretty much the most expensive wine that I have ever got to try- but I'll get there of course! As always I will just break down the flavors and give my … [Read more...]

The following is a review of alcohol and you need to be of legal drinking age in your country to enjoy alcoholic beverages. Drink Responsibly!  Last year during my Holiday Gift Guide 2015, I had the chance to work with the wonderful folks at Kobrand Wines on a review that you can find here: Nichole's Holiday Gift Guide Kobrand Wines & Spirits Review So when they asked me if I wanted to review for them again, well I wasn't going to say "no" for sure- especially since I love reviewing wines so I can try new things and all of that good stuff! As usual, I will just break down the flavors and tell you a bit about them and my thoughts /opinions,etc because it is just so much easier when I do things that way. Actually, I get really excited when I get a review that has multiple items/flavors or what not because it makes them that much easier to write about! I got 4 different varieties this go around so- well lets just get down to business shall we? Caposaldo Moscato IGT I … [Read more...]

This is a review of alcohol and you must be of legal drinking age in your country to enjoy these sorts of beverages!  You all probably have saw a "few' reviews of alcohol around the site, but for the most part they have been for Wine- which I love wine, so it is all good! However, when I got the chance to review what I would classify more as "hard stuff" from UV Vodka I pretty much did cartwheels! First of all UV Vodka has so many flavors of vodka I couldn't even believe that many flavors existed- I have to always say I am a person who pretty well sticks with basic things, and with things that I "know" especially when it comes to food and drinks!  I had heard of a few flavors for vodka before - I mean I am not totally out of the loop but- to get to try them in a review context just makes it better! Picking Flavors is hard to do! I got the chance to choose 3 of the huge variety of flavors that they have- and it was really hard to narrow it down. Vodka is a common alcohol that I … [Read more...]
