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.

Dunham Cellars Trutina & 3 Legged Red

I don't usually make wine buying decisions based on the label, but I understand some people do. If you are one of those people, you will be immediately drawn to Dunham Cellar's Trutina and 3 Legged Red and you will not be disappointed.  The label on Trutina has an interesting texture and shine which make it a standout on the shelf. The 3 Legged Red has a picture of a 3 legged dog and what's not to love about that?!?  Beyond the label both wines satisfy and Trutina is without question one of my favorite wines under $35.  Trutina is a bit more expensive ($26 compared to $19) and a bit better so if you have both drink the Trutina first (assuming you are drinking both in one night).  Both wines are blends of cab sauv, syrah and merlot.  They are pretty mellow, very smooth and hold well overnight, though between my husband and I the Trutina rarelys makes it past 9:00 p.m. QFC and Safeway both have 3 Legged Red but you should go to Sip City Wines, or your local wine shop, for Trutina.
