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.

VIOGNIER? NO WAY!!

Last Saturday was a beautiful sunny day in Enumclaw.  I packed up some smoked cheese and a few bottles of wine and headed to my sister's house. Feeling quite proud of myself I unscrewed the cork on a bottle of voigner and poured three glasses.  The first drop of liquid hit my lips and I knew, I am never buying this shit again.  Thankfully I also brought a bottle of Airfields Unoaked Chardonnay and I promptly informed my two companions that I was dumping the shitty voignier out so I could replace it with the Airfields.  My sister was appalled, pouring out wine is her idea of alcohol abuse. However, as soon as she tasted the voignier she understood.  We unanimously agreed that the voignier wasn't even worth saving to cook with, or to make sangria out of.  Bottom line, it was syrupy and sweet and completely disappointing. From here on out when I desire white wine I will stick with chardonnay, pinot gris and sauvignon blanc.
