As you should know (ahem...) my birthday was last Saturday. Don't feel bad- I didn't have a crazy party or anything, I only turned 19. (yes, again.) In fact, all I wanted was to relax and have a glass of wine! I recently told you about Flip Flop Wine, which is jam-packed with flavor and quality, all at about $7 a bottle! In fact, I was recently sent two more bottles, just in time for my birthday! Well, happy birthday to me!
Typically, I am a red wine lover and have not really been big on white wine. However, Flip Flop Wine makes some awesome white wines that are great for day time sipping! They also let you know what each of their wines are perfectly paired with. I love this, because well, I love food too, and if you pair your wine and food together, they complement each other = even better! Always awesome in my book! ha!
This time, I was sent the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Chardonnay! I was so very excited to try these and of course Flip Flop brought it! I am still in shock over the super low price and the high flavor!
First up, The Cabernet Sauvignon.
Full bodied with a lingering taste!
Hints of blackberries and dark cherries and black pepper... yum!
Great paired with New York strip steak, spinach ravioli or Portabella mushrooms! (yum yum....)
I am pretty stoked about the Cabernet Sauvignon to say the least! This is a great wine! I ain't the only one that loves this either... Just this year, it has won 2 gold awards and 3 silver! WOW!
Second, the Chardonnay.
Chardonnay is a white wine, however, unlike others it is more dry than sweet. I dig that!
In fact, I always say that white wine is great for day time, because of it's sweetness, Chardonnay is great for twilight, and red at night... but hey, that's me. It always sounds like a great time for a glass of wine!
Medium bodied. Serve chilled.
Hints of a pineapple, vanilla, and a creamy toasted oak lingering awesomeness....
Great paired with Wood-fired Neapolitan pizza, mac & cheese or chicken Caesar salad!
(yes, you heard correctly, Mac & Cheese! You won't find another wine company that says that!)
The Chardonnay has won awards this year as well- 1 in Gold and 2 in Silver! Incredible!
-My Thoughts-
Flip Flop Wines rock! I told you these are around $7 a bottle, but I have seen them for around $5 on sale!
Great selection- 7 different wines.... yes, all $7. strange??
Flip Flop Wines may be a giant company, but their hearts are truly in what they do. You can feel a sense of closeness, integrity and compassion with this company. (this is something I rarely get from companies!)
They are also an incredibly generous company that partners with Soles Soles! For more information, you can read my original review here.

I was not paid for this review, and received no compensation. However, I did receive the above mentioned at no cost to me. This did not change my opinions. I am just outspoken, and love to tell my honest opinions. So there!
