The Pomegranate Chronicles

I am a bit behind on my blog posts. I have been posting everyday, but so many great events are going on that I have been behind on what I have been sharing with you. This is one of those events. It was a close friend’s birthday a few weeks ago. To celebrate, they put [...]

We made the trip up north to my Mother’s house for Thanksgiving this year. Griffin was prepared with his sunglasses and “munchkin” to start his trip! Our day started with a small appetizer and some tickles on the side. The little one waited patiently at the table for food to come. But he had the [...]

A great hostess gift.

It’s been a while since I have posted a Wednesday Wine. I have to be honest and have been sticking my staple wines over the last few months. I have been in a bit of a wine rut and was looking for new wine. I thought you may be looking for something new by now [...]

La Croix Du Duc Bordeaux is my Wednesday Wine pick this week. It is a very spicy and masculine wine. It is strong enough to be a stand alone wine and will hold it’s own with some strong cheeses and crackers. It is a little heavy for your basic hamburger or pizza, but would be [...]

This is a wine we found at the local store in Bar Harbor, ME last week. This is a nice Spanish Tempranillo with a fruit (not fruity) taste and spicy finish. It was very good. I am not sure what I liked better, the wine or the view, but definitely worth a try for the Summer. BONUS [...]

Beringer Pinot Noir was at Sams Club for $5.49 last week. I couldn’t pass it up. I figured it may have gone by or maybe wasn’t that good. It was pretty good. It didn’t have much of an initial taste, but the finish is very fruity and fragrant. Totally worth it for under $6. Perfect [...]

This is suppose to be my weekly wine post and it will continue to showcase fantastically affordable wines. With the exceptions of a few interruptions in between. I am a BIG fan of margaritas. To be honest, sour mixed margaritas are not my favorite, I like them with full liquor and a splash of fresh lime juice. [...]

This week’s wine was a pleasant surprise. Red Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 was on special at Market Basket this week for $5.99. I don’t really expect too much from a bottle under $6. I want it to be drinkable and enjoyable, but know I have to make my share of sangria while trying to find the [...]

Beringer has always been one of my go-to wines. It’s readily available at most stores, reasonably priced but not cheap and a great bottle to bring to someones house. It’s usually pretty consistent in taste and flavor. This week the Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon was on special for $8.99. For under $10, I grabbed a bottle. I have [...]
