So last week, Brian came home with a bottle of Angeline Cabernet Sauvignon for me to review…and OMG, I almost did. Does this wine sound familiar to you? Well it should, I ALREADY REVIEWED IT! Jeez, I can’t imagine how pissed some of you would have been!
To keep you from potentially making the same mistake, I thought I’d create an index of the wines that we (meaning me) have already reviewed. I’ve also given a “thumbs up”, “thumbs down”, or “Meh” after each one, because we should all be selecting wine based on my palate. Oh, and if you enjoy blubbering elaboration, you can click on them to be taken to the original review.
*I suggest printing this page out and shoving it in your wallet, next to your therapist’s business card.

Wow, my reviews appear to be a little heavy on the red. I feel sorta bad about that for all of you white wine lovers out there. Tell you what, my new goal is to become a more well-rounded wine drinker, to step outside of my comfort zone, to try grapes that I’ve never heard of, to drink like no one’s watching. It’s important to have goals, you know.
Any suggestions?
Like my reviews? Could you do me a favor and click the banner anyway? Thanks!

You guys HAVE to check out my newest sponsor Kitty Meow Boutique! She has cute, clever, funny ass stationary for ANY occasion!
I love the “Congrats on your wedding! Just please don’t seat me at the loser table.” card! And she can design whatever you need. I wish I knew about her site last year, I would have sent out vasectomy announcements. How awesome would that have been?!
