Llano – Blush – ★

ladies man wine edit

So, this one is actually one of the first wines I’ve bought in a while that I didn’t like. I was actually very hopeful for this one but it turned out to be something that reminded me of White Zinfandel and for some reason I HATE White Zinfandel! It was just incredibly bitter and there were so many different tastes going on.

In between pouring it out, I kept taking sips because maybe it would grow on me. Every sip I took, I felt like it was getting worse and I couldn’t do it. It’s an incredibly cute wine, and maybe in the future I’ll try it again! But as for now, it’s a no go.

I love love love this picture I took though!

Stella Rosa – Stella Berry – ★★★★

I tried this one after trying the Moscato by Stella Rosa. Stella Rosa’s Moscato is the one that I didn’t like, but this one for sure turned my hopes around! It was very sweet and had no aftertaste and was easily one of the first few wines that I actually liked!

This one was my favorite for a good while but my guess it that I drank a helluva lot of it and I just no longer want it as much anymore. The taste is very similar to the one I was recommended previously and it is very, very berry. This one is similar to the Pink, but the berry is very prominent.

I have a bottle in my fridge at this very moment, but I will most likely add fresh berries to it and serve it next time I have a get together. I think it’ll be good for a refreshing party drink.

Plus, Sugar Daddy is one of my faves of the year and I’m dying waiting for the second one!

I picked this one up randomly just because I wanted another change up. I’m more of a white wine and I normally don’t go for reds! I feel like I got really, really lucky with picking this one up because whoa, this was an instant fave.

I use to be the person to store every wine in the fridge until one day I did some research and I learned about what wine goes where and how some are supposed to be drank. This is the first red wine I’ve tasted the way I’m supposed to drink it and I cannot explain how much I actually loved it.

While drinking it, I texted my husband and I told him I was drinking warm wine. I was making a joke, but the joke was on me because I was not disappointed! This is a sweet red and oh is it sweet and so refreshing and there was this satisfying aftertaste that made me crave more. I even had the husband try it and even though he didn’t want to admit it, he liked it too. He mentioned that it would taste better if it was cold but I don’t know if putting it in the fridge will change the taste or not.

As of now, I’m completely content with drinking this the way I am and I know that I will be purchasing another bottle before the month is up!

Stella Rosa – Stella Rosso – ★★★★

I’m slowly but surely becoming more of a red wine fan. I mean most of the wines I like are sweet and fruity and I just keep going back for more of those! This was one of the first reds I had ever tried, and even though I put it in the fridge, I still very much liked it! I have another bottle of this staring me in the face and I will do a redo of this one fairly soon.

As for now, I like this wine, I’m just hoping the next time I taste it, I love it!

Verdi Spumante – Rasberry Sparkletini – ★★★★

This one was recommended to me by a fellow wine lover on instagram! She said I’d love it and I absolutely did! It definitely reminded me of Stella Rosa Berry which was one of my old time faves!

This one is definitely fruity and was definitely up my alley. Super light and refreshing and there definitely wasn’t enough in the bottle. This is one of those wines that would be good for someone who wants to try a wine but wants to start with something sweet. I will be definitely be buying another bottle of this gold!

Stella Rossa – Stella Pink – ★★★★★+

Okay, so this one is my favorite Stella Rosa. I’ve tried Stella Rosso, Black, Berry, Peach, and the Moscato D’asti. My first bottle had sat in my fridge for a while because I was afraid it wasn’t going to be good, but I was so angry when I opened it and tried it because I fell in love so quickly! Sella Pink is a semi-sweet and sparkling wine and is easily one of my favorites.

Berry was my favorite for a while and I would go to the neighbor city just to get it! I’m not sure what happen, but I can no longer drink it! Something about it was just super heavy and I just no longer have a taste for it. I’ve been drinking this one for a while and I’m still in love. The taste is light and refreshing and of course it’s pretty sweet.

I’ve had two bottles of this in the past and I’ve ended up sharing both bottles. When I open this one it’ll be all mine! I went to their site for the first time recently and I thought I tried them all, but there are most to taste which is exciting!

NA – ★★★★ – Goodreads – Amazon B&NiBooks


So this is the only book that I’ve read by Colleen Hoover besides Ugly Love. I liked Ugly Love but the more I thought about it, the more I fell in love with it. The same thing is happening with this book. But this one made me scream a little more.

This book in one sentence: This book has a unique concept, cute couple, a shocking twist and an….interesting ending.
