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.

Maryhill Winery Cabernet Franc

Maryhill Winery produces many of my favorite red wines, they are moderately priced and hold well overnight (meaning you can open the bottle on Wednesday and still enjoy a glass on Thursday). Maryhill is available at QFC, Safeway and Sip City Wines.  Cab Franc is one of my favorite varietals and Maryhill makes a great one.  The Cab Franc is really smooth with a deep flavor similar to cabernet sauvignon, but unlike some cabernet sauvignons, it doesn't dry out your mouth.  The cab franc is very reasonably priced at $18.00.  I highly recommend buying no less than 2 bottles at a time.
