Sometimes being a single parent at Christmas sucks. But sometimes you treat yourself with a fancy Christmas Eve dinner out and it doesn't seem so bad.

Day 13 was a red blend. It was a little on the sweater side. Wasn't really a fan. 6/10

Day 11 is an Italian Pinot Grigio. I normally like these but this one feels a little heavy. Probably would be better if I had chilled it. 6/10

Doing a little day drinking on Day 7. Nice CA red blend. It's not something I would normally choose, but it's drinkable. 9/10

Day 6 is a Spanish red. It had a fruity taste. Tasted like wine and went great with my gnocchi. 10/10

Day 5 is a Sangiovese Bianco from Italy. I'm not usually a fan of whites, but this has a nice apple flavor. 9/10.

Day 4 of the advent calendar is a rich tempranillo from Spain. It's a little too fruity for me but it went nicely with my rigatoni. 8/10

Bonus review... Bing Crosby White Christmas Winter Warmer from Narragansett out of Providence,Rhode Island. Solid Malty beer with tastes of toffee and a hint of cherry. Not too boozy, even at 7.4 ABV. 8/10

Enjoying Day 3 of the wine advent calendar while waiting for my kid's hockey game to start. It is a French Savignon Blanc, fruity and white. Tastes less like wine and more like something that will give me a headache if I drink more than 1 glass. 7/10

First night of this year's wine advent calendar is a lovely Spanish cabernet. The tasting notes say it has notes of black currant and vanilla. As a person who usually buys her wines in boxes, it tastes like wine. 10 out of 10.
