I often times joke about it being wine o'clock on Twitter and Facebook -- especially, after 5:00 p.m. on Fridays -- I am simply learning to appreciate peaceful moments, when the planets are aligned and all is quiet in my world, by sitting back and relaxing with a nice glass of wine that is totally sip-worthy.
That's why I'm excited to partner with the CleverGirls Collective in announcing the launch of the CleverGirls Wine Club.
Every month, we'll be sharing some really great wine promotions, as well as descriptors to tell us a little more about the wine choices and perhaps help us find a few new favorites, at the best possible prices -- order 3 bottles and free shipping is FREE!
Here are some specials for July:
CleverGirls Wine Club Price: $12.37 (regularly $18) Plus FREE SHIPPING on 3 or more bottles
About The Wine: Offering crisp, mineral notes on the front palate rounded out with rich, tropical, buttery flavors on the finish.
Noteworthy: “The most obvious question with respect to X Winery and proprietor Reed Renaudin is how can these wines be this good at these prices? Everyone is looking for good values today, and here are some e(X)ceptional bargains.” – Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Bonneau 2005 Amador Zinfandel
CleverGirls Wine Club Price: $15.71 (regularly $22) Plus FREE SHIPPING on 3 or more bottles
About The Wine: Fragrant suggestions of blackberries, dark plums, raspberries and cassis with supporting notes of black pepper, clove, and nutmeg.
