Annie picked this up from\u00a0<a href=\"www.tastingroom.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">TastingRoom.com<\/a>\u00a0a while back when we were trying to plan a pre-baby vacation up to Mendocino. But as you can guess, life got busy with trying to buy a house, moving, prepping for the baby (who will be delivered 10-12-12 via C-section), and work; funny how that happens. Instead we ended up taking a handful of days and going to Venice Beach and Newport to visit some family\u2026which worked out quite well.<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"More...\" src=\"http:\/\/hootnannieblog.com\/wp-includes\/js\/tinymce\/plugins\/wordpress\/img\/trans.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Back on Track with TastingRoom.com, Hoot<\/h3>\n<p>Sorry, I tend to ramble. So if you\u2019ve been stuck on a deserted island like Tom Hanks in Castaway and have not heard about\u00a0<a href=\"www.tastingroom.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">TastingRoom.com<\/a>, you need to listen up and get to their website and start tasting. It\u2019s this amazingly awesome way of tasting wines at a very affordable price. Rather than being stuck buying a bottle of wine that you don&#8217;t know about, you can buy one of these kits that has six different 50ml bottle of wine.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the 50ml bottles they also have 100ml bottles and the regular size 750ml bottles. I think this is a genius way to taste wines and to be honest, I\u2019m just pissed that I didn\u2019t come up with it. I\u2019m over it now and completely support the\u00a0<a href=\"www.tastingroom.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">TastingRoom.com<\/a>\u00a0movement and hope you jump on board as well.<\/p>\n<p>The Mendocino kit that Annie ordered contained the following six wines:<\/p>\n<p>2009\u00a0<a href=\"www.pauldolanwine.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Paul Dolan Vineyards<\/a>\u00a0Sauvignon Blanc<\/p>\n<p>2007\u00a0<a href=\"www.windracerwine.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wind Racer<\/a>\u00a0Chardonnay<\/p>\n<p>2008\u00a0<a href=\"www.lafollettewines.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">LaFollette\u00a0<\/a>Pinot Noir (Manchester Ridge Vineyards)<\/p>\n<p>2007\u00a0<a href=\"www.carolshelton.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Carol Shelton<\/a>\u00a0Wild Thing (Old Vine Zinfandel)<\/p>\n<p>2008\u00a0<a href=\"www.artezinwines.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Artezin\u00a0<\/a>Petite Sirah<\/p>\n<p>2009\u00a0<a href=\"www.seabiscuitranch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Seabiscuit Ranch<\/a>\u00a0Superfecta Meritage (46% Canbernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc)<\/p>\n<p>We enjoyed each of them for different reasons but definitely gravitated toward the Wind Racer Chardonnay, the Artezin Petite Sirah, and the Seabiscuit Ranch Meritage.<\/p>\n<p>Good stuff Mendocino, and keep up the great work TastingRoom.com!
