Flipflop Wines Review

Up until just this month, I kinda have been afraid of drinking wine. I actually thought I might be allergic to it because I had an allergic reaction with a drink at a restaurant some years that included champagne on two different occasions. I don’t know why I was silly enough to try the drink twice, but I did. After the second time (probably like 4 – 5 years ago) I decided to just stay clear of champagne and wine all together.

So this month I gave in. My friends and fellow blogger friends are always bragging about wine. I thought it wasn’t fair that I couldn’t brag about wine too, so I decided to give wine another shot. Since it was champagne that triggered the action and not just wine, I thought I might be okay.  Know that when I seen there was a wine company called Flipflop Wines, I had to say YES please. I am a mom who LOVES her flip flops, so a wine named after something I love sounds pretty cool.

My husband and I had the opportunity to review three of seven of the Flipflop Wines. When it comes to wine, I knew that the white wines were going to be my favorite. I am a gal who prefers her drinks chilled, so I had to try the Flipflop Wines. I think their bottles are really CUTE too! The first bottle of Flipflop Wines that I tried was the 2009 Riesling. Out of the 3 that we tried, this also happens to be my FAVORITE.

What does the Flipflop 2009 Washington Riesling taste like? It Tastes Like: Medium-bodied, Riesling with peach, apricot and melon which lead to a satisfying, smooth finish! Since I like fruity drinks, this wine happens to really taste good to me. It gave me a good enough impression of wine to try a second bottle. Not in the same night of course.

The second wine that I tries was the Flipflop Pinot Grigio. Since this is another fruity wine, this one is my second favorite out of the three. The Flip Flop 2009 California Pinot Grigio has a light-bodied taste with tropical citrus with some pear. I think I could keep these two fruity wines on stock for when mom wants to enjoy a nice glass of wine.

The third wine that I had the opportunity to review was a red wine. This would be the Flipflop Pinot Noir. Since I prefer chilled wines, my husband enjoyed this bottle more than me. Since I do enjoy cooking, I am thinking of trying a red wine with one of my meals in the future. What does the 2009 California Pinot Noir taste like? It Tastes Like: Medium-bodied, structured Pinot Noir with bright cherry, sweet spice and a supple, velvety finish.

Thanks to Flipflop wines, I now am a fan of wine and eager to try more, especially their 2009 California Chardonnay! What I also like about this company is that they are helping support a cause behind each sale of their wine. For every bottle of Flipflop wine purchased, Soles4Souls will distribute a pair of shoes to someone in need. How cool is that?
