Wine Wednesday - 2 flavors to choose from

Hi ya Gorgeous!

How is your summer going now that it is officially "open" for enjoying with the passing of the summer solstice. I wish I would have logged on to the see the Stone Henge event. Did any of you watch it live online?



Today I have a video of 2 flavors that I tasted while on a recent visit to my storage container and other house. One is a hit and one, not so much!




Thank you for watching today and special thank you to all of the new subscribers! I appreciate you being along for the wild journey that we shall call "2020 - the Summer of Somethin'"

Wine Wednesday with Wind Storm


Hi ya Gorgeous,
Wine Wednesday today has 2 positive recommendations as well as some positive encouragement and ways to prepare yourself for coming out of the selah, the pause, prepared and ready to seize the season!

Can I get an amen on that positive quote meme I found on the internet?  I'm telling you my friends - like the old adage that says " there are two sides to every coin and every story" - I truly believe that there are two sides to the quarantine life.  You can look at how we have all been off of work and life for over a month now and that's bad - or - you can look at this beautiful selah and pause that we have been given for the Earth and ourselves to re-do, recreate and reformulate how life will be for us going forward. Life is good! Choose life! Wham! and George Michael were right!

Now enjoy these wine selections that I fully endorse and get your notepad ready to jot down some thoughts too!



Thank you for watching! Would you please be so kind as to subscribe and share?
Then, share your $10 bottle recommendation!

Wine Wednesday| Opening a 2006 Yellow Tail Merlot in 2019

 Hi ya Gorgeous,

Hope you are having a wonderful day! It's Wednesday, that means time to review a wine, preferably something in the $10 and under range. I have something special in a part "unboxing" or uncorking video that also doubles as a first impression!




Oh - but not today - this review of Yellow Tail merlot is not your usual Yellow Tail!

This wine can be found easily, nationwide, and it's usually well under $10.

Enjoy the video and let me know your thoughts in the comments.




To help you with some wine aging knowledge, check out this link from Wine Turtle

Some good info on how to know if your old wine is going to be delicious or awful!

Wine Wednesday - All My Israeli Wines in One Place

Hi ya Gorgeous!

Today's wine video is a review of all of my Israel wines I purchased at The Barrel Room in Texas. This photo is from Glory of Zion in Denton. That was such a fun weekend and we had a lot of great experiences while there. We only make it out once a year - and it's always worth it!


Enjoy the video review and there is a link below so you can check out The Barrel Room yourself! Note - in Arizona, the liquor law doesn't allow the sale of the wine in state without them having a facility in the state. Weird. For all of you outside of Arizona - get some!




Thank you for watching and please let me know what your fave summer wine is.

2014 3400 Premium Pinotage from Jerusalem
2014 Yarden Galilee Syrah
2014 Hermon Mount Hermon Moscato
2017 Vintner's Select H cabernet sauvignon semi dry red wine
I get these from The Barrel Room

Oh so good!

Wine Wednesday: The Request Day - Post Your Go To Must Have Summer Wine

Hi ya Gorgeous!

Happy Wednesday - more like Winesday around here!


So, due to yesterday's accidental morning dose of melatonin and not getting my video assignments done and countless other things, I am not able to get online and do a live video today with a review of all of my new favorite wines from Israel!

I only have one left !  Next week I will do the Israeli wine video review.





Now - it's summer. Well, sort of. Our weather here in Arizona has been so weird! It would normally be warming up but instead we have had one freak storm after another. So much rain, which is a good thing - just odd.

Please let me know in the comments here on the blog or on the Facebook page for MakeupUniversity - what is your go to must have summer wine?

I wanna know!

Wine Wednesday - Field Trip Edition

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Thank you for tuning in today - welcome back to those who are returning and welcome to those who are new!





On Wednesdays - I do wine reviews. Not just any wine review - those bottles and brands that are $10 and under.  Normally I shop at the Walmart or Safeway, but, today! Today I am on a field trip in Las Vegas and shopping at Total Wine.  This store is purely devoted to all things alcohol and wine. There are so many choices - though for this video and my budget, I am only getting wines in the $10 and under range.

If you have a recommendation of a $10 and under wine, please post in the comments.

Now enjoy this field trip to the Total Wine store!

Wine Wednesday - with Fetzer

Hi ya Gorgeous!


Quick video featuring the Fetzer - or the Fetz as I have come to call it. Yes, you guessed it. This wine has cherry notes. If you have seen any off the other MakeupUniversity Wine Wednesday videos, this will come as no surprise to you.



This video is a tad on the grip it' n' rip it side because I'm rushing to pack for NAB in Vegas, clean the house, blah blah blah, and get my blogging and videos done for you - so the content is hot and fresh, sort of - more like in a re-heatable plastic container . Enjoy!




Stay tuned - subscribe and ding the bell so you don't miss next week's video with fresh $10 wines from Total Wine in Las Vegas! Squee! Thank you for watching!

Wine Wednesday - Whoops Edition

Hi ya Gorgeous!

It's a favorite day of the week - Wine Wednesday~!
What's in your cup? Oh my cup. It's dizzy. I have been struggling with and living with extreme dizziness since February 3rd. It's so bizarre.



So my love for all things wine have greatly been curtailed - to just a wee cup. Gone are the glorious full goblets of delicious wine. Who ever heard of getting dizzy for dizzy sake anyways?

The dizzy got me a wine I hadn't quite planned on and you can see more of that in this video.

 



I'll tell you what being dizzy all the time will do for you - it will make you distracted!

Enjoy the video and please let me know what wine you are drinking and enjoying! I need to live vicariously!

Ash Wednesday Lent Wine Review

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Woot Woot!
Well, I'm nearly all better - nearly - and it's time to celebrate and have a glass of wine! Shabbat needs a glass of wine in my world! Speaking of celebrations - the Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras season has led us into the season of Lent.




No matter where you are in your walk of faith - or not - it's a great time to reflect on where you are, who you are and where you are going and who you are becoming! Consider these items in the photo below:




So I picked up this bottle - can you guess from where - on my trip to the Oscars in the Los Angeles area. I am not in the studio, I'm actually walking in the back yard and enjoying the beautiful desert!




Join me and enjoy this review. Let me know in the comments what you are sipping on!

Wine Wednesday featuring wine from my local gas station - true story!

Hi ya Gorgeous!
My home state is experiencing weather like what other's get! It's been raining for 2 days now and there is more in the forecast for tomorrow! Whoa! Holy sticker bush Batman!




We don't normally get this kind of rain and on one hand I'm so thankful! This is so good for the desert, for Lake Mead, and for replenishing the land! Thank you God. Oh wait. This kind of rain will make the goat head bush that has stickers that pop car tires proliferate! So, the moral of the story is, you win some - you win some I guess.

Now on to the wine of the day -fresh from my small town gas  station. True story! I found Cocobon at this same station. Now the tweakers have been doubling up efforts on stealing from the store. So the selection is halved and the prices have doubled. Though there are some times when my home storage is depleted and I'm coming in off the road from a work trip and frankly, I need a nice glass of wine! So I head to the gas and sip to test my luck with what I can find!

Thank you for tuning in today! This edition of my series "Wine Wednesday" features a varietal that is both hearty, full bodied, a good red and worth having again or gifting! Opa!

Enjoy and please let me know in the comments which wines are your favorites!

Wine Wednesday - featuring Wine Country Gift Basket brand Brick Lane


Hi ya Gorgeous! 

Happy Wednesday to you! I double dog dare you to caption the photo below in the comments...

Today I've got a wine review for you from my Christmas gift basket of wine. The basket was chocked full of snackie goodness and 2 bottles of wine - from Brick Lane.  Hmm. Well then.



Now, in this month of January, I know many of you may go "dry" - though when you are back to enjoying some vino, or need to give a gift, consider this website, https://www.winecountrygiftbaskets.com/

So from watching the video you may know by now, that no, I do not really like the Brick Lane. BUT! When I had Wine Country Gift Basket wine, Barrel Hoop, it was amazing!

Check 'em out! All the goodies that came with the basket were delicious! Thanks for watching and please subscribe and comment too!
