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.

L'Ecole Syrah (2008)

Last night I left a 3/4 full glass of wine at a restaurant, my darling daughter decided it was time to leave. Actually, my husband decided it was time to leave as he was embarrased by the hellacious fit my daughter was throwing. To make it up to me he bought me a bottle of L'Ecole Syrah; apology accepted.  My first impression was that the syrah needed to breath, thankfully I have a nifty apparatus that infuses air into wine as if it had "breathed" for an hour or two (thank you to whoever invented that device).  After being aerated the wine was baby-bottoms smooth (okay, enough of the baby theme, I know) and flavorful.  The friend that shared the bottle had a positive and immediate reaction; "wow that is amazing." Personally, I think her response is a little bit generous but, as previously expressed on this blog, my syrah preference is DeLille. Nontheless L'Ecole is a delicious wine and at $25.99 at your local QFC, you can't go wrong.
