Winc Wine Subscription

Winc was founded in 2012 by Xander Oxman and Geoff McFarlane because of a shared belief that wine should be more accessible: simpler to get and easier to enjoy. They joined forces with winemaker and sommelier Brian Smith to build a personalized wine club that has quickly grown into Winc—a California-based winery offering an online membership experience, with wines that are featured at select retailers and restaurants nationwide. Winc is a thriving community of hundreds of thousands of wine lovers that is growing everyday.

Ben and I enjoy a good glass of wine here and there.  The problem is, we know nothing about wine.  We know what we like, and what tastes good to us, but that's about it!!

Now with Winc, we don't have to worry about trying to pick out something to try.  We tell Winc what we want, and they pick it for us!!

All we had to do was answer 6 questions to help them assess our unique tastes.  They sent wines specifically chosen to match our palate, and then we rate the wines to help them give better recommendations for our next shipment.

Our first shipment arrived, and we were sent four bottles of white.

Summer Water

Funk Zone

Field Theory

Finkes Widow

Finkes Widow was by far my favorite.  It was a sparkling wine, and was not too dry.  Summer Water was also very yummy.  The other two we found to be a little too dry for us, but by letting Winc know, they will now avoid sending us wines that are too dry!!

Winc's wines start at $13 a bottle.  You can add 1-4 bottles in each of your boxes.  If you want to go a month with out a shipment, you can postpone your delivery!!  If you shop through this link, you will save $22 off of your first shipment!!

This service is a real treat, and would make a great gift!!

Make sure you follow Winc on Facebook and Twitter to learn about new promotions!!

Libre Tea Infuser Glasses Are Perfect For Those Tea Lovers On Your List And A ~~Giveaway~~

Libre (lee-brah)
The state of being free. Letting go, bringing one’s mind and body to a place of rest and free from restraint.

I love Tea.  All different types of tea.  When I was younger, it was given to me when I wasn't feeling good.  Tea and toast were my grandma's cure all.  Now that I am older, I drink it a lot, and I still need it when I do not feel well.

I used to just have tea already in tea bags at home.  I could not find a good strainer/infuser for the loose leaf.  Over the last couple of years, I was introduced to Libre glasses, and use them constantly!!  These glasses are perfect for loose leaf tea leaves, and make a terrific cup of tea.  They are very easy to use, and easy to clean. 

I was sent a couple of new ones to review, and these are real beauties!! 

Bright, feminine and fun- the Garden Dance Pink glass is a favorite among ladies of all ages.

Your peaceful tea moments with the Garden Dance Pink Glass will make you feel as if the whole world is a garden, blooming before your eyes!

  
The anchor of style, black, has long been known as the most versatile color. The 14oz. Black Brush Tea Glass goes with everything! Like that little black dress in your closet- this glass will take you from day to night with ease. With the same clean glass interior, durable BPA-free poly exterior and removable stainless steel filter as all our models, the Black Brush glass features serene and delicate patterns of light brush strokes and small clusters of pale pink blossoms with shimmery silver branches.
