Flip Flop Wines Review

Flip Flop Wines sent me and my husband three bottles of wine for free.  Hubby were excited to try them out but due to my husband working so much, he has not been able to even be able to open them up.  The kinds that they sent were Pinor Noir, Pinot Grigio, and Resling.  The thing that is amazing about these wines is that on the back of the wines it tells you what it taste like, the foods it would go well with, and how to serve and store it.  This is great for someone who does not know too much about wines but is having a dinner party or something and wanted to spice up dinner with a glass of wine.

The first one hubby tried was the Pinot Grigio.  When we opened up this one it just smelled amazing!  The first thing hubby said was that it was smooth!  He said that it had a very nice medium flavor and he really liked it!  On the back of this bottle it says that it is a "Light-bodied, refreshing Pinot Grigio with tropical citrus, ripe pear and a zesty, clean finish.  Balanced crisp acidity pairs well with bruschetta, spaghetti carbonara or eggplant parmesan.  Serve chilled now or store away from direct sunlight for up to 1 year after purchase."

The second one that hubby tried was the Riesling.  On the back of this bottle it says that it is a "Medium-bodied, complex Riesling with peach, apricot and melon which leads to a satisfying, smooth finish.  Tropical notes and sweet aromas pair well with tofu stir-fry, shredded pork tacos and sake sashimi.  Serve chilled now or store away from direct sunlight for up to 1 year after purchase."  This one had a much stronger smell to it, but it did not taste stronger.  It was even smoother than the Pinot Grigio and was probably the favorite out of the three.  The melon taste is strong enough to taste the melon in it, but not over baring.  This was one YUMMY wine!

The last one that hubby tasted was the Pinor Noir.  To be honest, he was not completely excited to try this one because he is not much of a red wine fan.  I will tell the truth and say that he was not as happy with this, but again, like I said, he is not much of a red wine fan.  He admitted that it was the smoothest red wine that he has ever tasted.  So, I had to have a sip of this one, because I am much more of a red wine fan.  Don't worry...I promise it was just a sip!  I actually enjoyed it.  It was a LOT smoother than most red wines.  The cherry is pretty predominate in this.  I really enjoyed this wine!  On the back of this bottle it says that it is a "Medium-bodied, structured Pinot Noir with bright cherry, sweet spice and a supple, velvety finish.  Cola aromas and hints of vanilla pair with grilled mahi mahi, bacon-wrapped shrimp or chocolate chip cookies.  Serve at room temperature now or store away from direct sunlight for up to 2 years after purchase."


I can't wait until after the baby is born...I know what wine I will be drinking!!!  I am a BIG wine fan!  So, Flip Flop definitely has my seal of approval just from the taste of the Pinor Noir!  Hubby also said that Flip Flop rocks!  He is not as much of a wine fan as me, but he really really loved the Riesling!  He said it was odd because he is usually a Pinot Grigio fan, not a Riesling one.  Don't get me wrong, he liked the Pinot Grigio also, but his favorite was definitely the Riesling.

If you would like to order some for yourself, check them out here: http://www.flipflopwines.com/.  They can ship it to almost everywhere in the US (some states do not allow alcohol to be shipped) and they are also carried in some stores!  Look for them next time you are out getting your wine!
