The Little Black Dress

About a month ago I wrote a blog post on the Little Black Dress Pinot Grigio. However, today I am hear to tell you of another relative in that sexy family. The Little Black Dress Merlot is out of this world. I was quite astounded when I tasted this wine. This merlot not only fits in nicely at the family bar-b-que but it also can be a star at the most elegant affair

The nose of this wine is of rich, supple dark fruit. The taste of deep dark cherries, cranberries and a hint of vanilla engulf your palate like a tidal wave. This medium bodied merlot also provides a nice toasty oak flavor which soothes the tastebuds and warms the soul. I found this to be a very sexy wine and would dare any wine aficionado to find fault in it. The finish is smooth and lingering. 

This wine really portrays the same things the actual little black dress portrays. It is as elegant as Coco Chanel, classy as Audrey Hepburn and sexy as Marilyn Monroe.  I’ve heard that the Little Black Dress wines are geared and marketed toward the female audience. That may be the case but men, I say to you, don’t get left behind. This wine will definitely provide pleasure to your tastebuds as well. 

For a wine this good you probably think you would need to go to an exclusive wine shop to purchase it. That may be true in some states but in California, you a can actually find this little jewel in your local supermarket retailing from 10.99 to about 12.99. This is a mere pittance for a wine that is so versatile. Merlots really got a bad wrap from the movie Sideways. However, I am hear to tell you that this jackpot is better than most Pinot Noirs (the preferred wine in the movie) I’ve tasted. 

Go out and pick up a bottle of this beauty today and let me know what you think. I will definitely be adding this one to the jackpots page.

Until next time drink responsibly. Cheers!

As a young adult I remember being told by a slightly older lady that a woman should always keep a little black dress in her closet for that “special” occasion. To this day I still follow that advice and have that special little black dress that has come in handy for many types of events 

About a month ago, the term “little black dress” took on a different meaning for me. You see, it was then that I discovered Little Black Dress Pinot Grigio. Although light, this wine makes a lasting impression on you with its clean citrus flavor. Chilled, this wine goes well with a variety of foods or stands alone as a refreshing drink on a hot summer day.  Like that little black dress in your closet, this wine with its floral aroma and hints of tangerine and orange goes well with any special (or not so special) occasion.

Little Black Dress Pinot Grigio is fermented in 100% stainless steel which brings out it fruity flavor.  This wine is primarily made up of the pinot grigio grape. However, two other grapes give it special character…the muscat and the viognier.

The muscat grape is one that even when fermented still gives off the smell of fresh grape. It can also smell of roses. Muscat in the LBD gives it a spicy kick.

Muscat Grape

 The viognier grape gives this wine its floral component. This is a difficult grape to get right as it doesn’t age well. The original home for this grape is in northern Rhone.

Viognier Grape

The combination of these grapes with the pinot grigio grape make a fabulous wine that you can enjoy for a relatively cheap price.

 This wine retails from about $8.00 to $10.00 in your local supermarket. Pick some up today. And for the guys out there, remember women aren’t the only ones who should have this Little Black Dress in their closets (wine closet that is). You’ll enjoy it too!
