Jon Bon Jovi + Rosé Wine = Diving Into Hampton Water

Hi everyone, and Happy #WineWednesday! Today, I’m going to taste Diving Into Hampton Water by Hampton Water Wine Co. , which is a collaboration between Jon Bon Jovi, Jesse Bongiovi, and French winemaker Gérard Bertrand. The wine is a French rosé, and it’s a blend of 60% Grenache, 15% Cinsault, 15% Mouvédre, and 10% Syrah.  The wine is $25.

Question of the Day: Have you had a chance to try this wine?  Have you tried any other “celebrity” wines that you enjoyed?

Is There Such A Thing As Good Wine In A Can?

*** I received this wine as a sample. ***

Hi Everyone, and Happy #WineWednesday. Today, I’m tasting the 2016 Stella Wines​ Pinot Grigio in a can, which I received as a sample and has a suggested retail price of $13 for a 4-pack.  I’ve tried a number of canned wines, but as much as I love the idea, I haven’t been a fan of the ones I tasted. The big question is if this will be different?!  As a side note, though, instead of drinking the wine out of a can, I’m using the Go Vino glasses. Cheers!

Question of the Day:  Have you had this or another canned wine and what did you think of it?

The wine mentioned in the video was the 2017 Cuvée Valérose — $11.  I would give it a 3.5 out of 5 corks.  It’s a great value and is an easy-to-drink wine, but not very complex.
