The Pinot Grigio



Mmmm, pinot grigio is probably my favorite white grape variety. I was thrilled to open the box and find this. I brought this over to my good friend/hairstylist's apartment for a night of hair stylin and a feast of Indian food. Wine, a new hair style, Indian food - sound's like the perfect night doesn't it?

We cracked open the bottle and found the delicate touch of sweetness paired perfectly with our spice filled feast. Notes of bright tropical citrus fruit tickled our taste buds and this wine was deemed a pleasantly fresh and wonderful addition to our evening. I will be adding flipflop pinot grigio to my regular rotation, especially come summer. It is ideal for sipping poolside.

Perhaps, while wearing these...

The Pinot




The second wine to tickle my taste buds from flipflop, this pinot grigio was right up my alley. This wine opened up beautifully after about 10 minutes or so. Bright, vibrant, spicy this wine is wonderful on its own. I happened to enjoy it as a pre-dinner drink before a night out on the town.

And I'm sure it would work wonderfully paired with these!

A Girl's Guide to Shoes Wine Review?

Imagine my delight when I was contacted by a representative for flipflop wines asking me if I would be interested in reviewing a few of their products. If there is anything I like as much as shoes it's wine ;) I was sent three different wines. A riesling, a pinot grigio, and a pinot noir. Throughout this week I will be reviewing all three.

You should know when it comes to wine I am not a snob in any way. In fact the less expensive the better. I do believe you can find good quality wines for less than $10 dollars and flipflop wines proves just that.


I'm not typically a fan of rieslings. I tend to find them too sweet. I am most definitely a reds kind of girl. But this riesling was very well balanced with hints of melon hitting the tongue. It was not too sweet at all. Easy to drink with a smooth finish, this riesling managed to hit all the right notes.

Now, here's a cool fact about flipflop wines. They are only about $7 each and flipflop has teamed up with the charity Soles4Souls. For every bottle sold flipflop will distribute a pair of shoes to someone in need. How great is that? To learn more feel free to visit the site here.

Oh and since I couldn't end this post without a shoe. I found these little beauties from Nine West. The perfect pairing for the flipflop riesling wouldn't you say?
