About This Blog

"Snobby Mommy" is the name of this blog, but I assure you the name is a sham. "Snobby" is a lot catchier than the adjectives that more accurately describe this mommy (such as "frumpy," "cheap," or "exhausted"), and given that I am now limiting my wine consumption to no more than two glasses during the work week, I am indeed a snob about what I am willing to pour into my much coveted two glasses. Here you will find a very basic assessment of wine, put simply I will let you know whether it is worth the calories and your money, or not. Though I consider myself an "advanced" wine drinker, I have never tasted tobacco, currants or blackberries in wine and I really don't care what wine smells like, unless of course the smell is so obnoxious that I can't bear to get it anywhere near my nose and lips. My descriptions will be plain and simple, "this shit is good so run to the store and buy a case," or "drink this bottle when you are half lit and taste doesn't matter." Occasionally this blog will also include reviews of products that, much like wine, are essential to me and make life as a mom easier. Please feel free to comment or email me if you have your own reviews or if you disagree with mine.

Brian Carter Cellars - EVERYTHING!

I am a huge fan of Brian Carter Cellars. I like the wine, the tasting room and the employees. If you want to impress someone, bring them a bottle of Brian Carter.  It really doesn't matter which wine you choose, they are all good. The Solesce, a bordeaux-style blend of Cab Sauv, Cab Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec, is my favorite but it is also the most expensive ($50.00).  The Tuttorosso is also fantastic and at $30, more reasonably priced.  The Tuttorosso is a super-tuscan blend of sangiovese, cab sauv and syrah.
