Thirsty Thursday is the quest to drink good, cheap wine that is $10.00 and under. Want some more recommendations? Check out the past cheap wine posts on Thirsty Thursday.
I was in San Diego last week for a blogging conference called BlogHer.
BlogHer is one the biggest blogger conferences in the United States – attracting nearly 4000 bloggers. (Crazy, right?)
In addition to the sessions during the day, there are several brand parties each night to help connect the bloggers and brands in a more intimate way.
One party I attended was hosted by Flip Flop Wines and Soles 4 Souls.
The party was hosted in a fun, older tavern that had a really cool, rustic and bright upper room. And while it was a great atmosphere for a wine party, I don’t think the air conditioner could keep up with the people because it was HOT in the room.
I was in a cute party dress with my hair and makeup done and it was so warm I had several moments where I thought, “Did I wear enough deodorant?”
It was too warm in fact, for a red girl like me, to drink red wine. So I grabbed a glass of the Flip Flop Pinto Grigio that was ice cold.
Yum and Refreshing.
The Flip Flop Pinot Grigio is a slightly sweet and dry white wine. It is a fruit forward with flavors of citrus and pear, that finishes very clean and crisp. It isn’t the most complex of wines – but it was highly enjoyable and would be refreshing on a really hot day (or night in the tavern).
And this wine has a soul for charity (which I love even more). For each bottle sold, Flip Flop wine will distribute a pair of shoes through Soles 4 Souls.
Wine with a conscience, I love that.
Don’t forget to use the Thirsty Thursday Wine List when creating your wine shopping list.
Note: This wine should be available at most liquor outlets. Please be responsible when you drink wine – and never drive drunk…seriously, that is just stupid in this day in age.
