Salvare Sweet Red

I seriously think I need to re-evaluate my wine choices. 

This. Wine. Was. Not. Good. 

It's too sweet for my liking. Too "I need to brush my teeth right after drinking" sweet. 

Maybe all Australian Wines are like that? I don't know. 

Or maybe it's because yet again, I got this wine at Walmart when I should probably start taking my fancy ass to local spirit or cork stores. 

Could also be, this was a screw top and no cork for me to add to my cork collection, it's missing that extra aroma you get from a corked wine. 

I'm telling you, there is a difference. 
NAME: Salvare Sweet Red
Variety: Red Blend
Region: South Eastern Australia
Year: 2018
Price: $4.99

My Review: Way too sweet. I know it says Sweet Red wine, but I felt like it was over powered by the sweet I couldn't even really taste the wine. Almost like they added so much extra sugar or something, maybe even dumped a whole dang bag of sugar. I don't know. 

The color is pretty though *shrug*

Since 1996, Alice White has rewarded wine lovers and discover seekers with rich, delicious wines produced in the heart of sun-drenched South Eastern Australia, one of the world's finest wine regions. Alice White Shiraz Wine: Invigorates the senses Aromas and flavors of black currant fruit, ripe plum, spicy vanilla, and licorice.

All that and a bag of chips. I didn't like it.

Region: Australia
Year: 2012
Price: $6.99

My Review: It's taken me quite a few days to drink this wine. Most of the time I couldn't even finish the glass. 

Too bitter.
Too thick.
There was something chocolate like - I love chocolate, don't get me wrong, but it was a strange chocolate taste. Like a day old chocolate taste. 

P.S.  Sir Perky Novelty Bottle Stopper can be purchased on Amazon!

MEET ANDY ROBINSON

March 1st, 2002, Andrew Robinson is twin #2 born five weeks premature. He was born 2 minutes after his older brother Alexander with a very weak heartbeat; we were told the first 24 hours will be crucial and he might not make it. 

Andrew has cerebral palsy and clearly surpassed the first 24 hours and today celebrated his 18th Birthday.

We've had hurdles upon hurdles, therapy sessions, operations, blood transfusions, milestones we still celebrate with glory. Milestones we still have to fight to get to. He's non-verbal. 

Andrew has the biggest smile. The biggest heart

you could ever imagine. He is happy at all times.
Nothing brings him down. 
Not even his disability. 

He continues to brighten our day with his fanatic Taylor Swift obsession and his off tune singing (or squeaking if you will) because since birth, music has been his number one passion. 

Andrew's other passions are shopping and going out and about with his family. It wasn't but four years ago, something big happened in our past little community of Temecula, California. We never thought one simple act of kindness would make us viral and give us such a sweet memory. 

So, of course, for his 18th birthday we asked what he wanted for his birthday, and just like his mom and dad, Andrew wanted records to sit and enjoy them with his parents - and they had to be none other than Taylor Swift - his top 3 favorite albums.
