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.

DeLille Cellars Doyenne Signature Syrah

It is a good thing I cannot afford to drink DeLille wine everynight because if I could, I would.  DeLille's Chaleur Estate is worth every penny of $70 and if you can afford it you should absolutely buy it.  However, if you are like me you cannot justify spending $70 on one bottle of wine when you can spend $72 and get two amazing bottles of wine.  Therefore, I recommend DeLille's more affordable, but no less delicious, option the Doyenne Signature Syrah ($39).  This Syrah is hands down my favorite out of the many Washington Syrah's I have tasted. It is very bold and full-bodied but silky smooth. DeLille is available at Sip City Wines.
