Bodacious Wine//Wine Wednesday

As I mentioned, we are forever on the lookout for affordable and delectable wines. We know it's possible for the two to be paired together.

Last Wednesday, Tamarah and I cracked open a bottle of red Bodacious wine, she'd purchased from the plaza near our house and walked across the street to me.

This Bodacious red can be purchased at the LCBO for an affordable $10.

I'll be honest, this used to be one of my very favorite, budget-friendly wines. The bottle is cute, the flavour is fruity. Basically, what's not to love.

As I've continued my journey with wine, I find this one sometimes a bit unpalatable, if I'm not eating it with the proper pairing.

So the moral of the story is that I'd advise buying this inexpensive beauty, and then eating it with a full meal, like steak or shepherd's pie.

What have been the best wines you've tasted of late?

Wine Wednesday

Let's be honest, if you know me at all, you know I enjoy a nice glass of wine in the evening. (I actually haven't had one in...I don't even know how long, which makes me all the more excited to be pulling out a bottle tonight.)

And since we've all had that moment when we go to the LCBO and look around us, completely overwhelmed. There are bottles of wine everywhere, but which bottle do I want?

I usually just grab the bottle of wine with the pretty label and call it a day.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and there's joy in the process. (Tehe.)

But I figured I'd start sharing some of my personal wine-tasting experiences on here.

I'll start with the my experiences finding good, cheap wines. We're all on a budget, right?

When I hopped on my computer today, I googled, "best big bottle of wine at the LCBO" and went from there.

This bottle of Italian Mezzomondo is tonight's pick:
 

Supposedly the Mezzomondo, an Italian wine, is one of the best, cheap wines at the LCBO.

This red delight reportedly goes well with Italian dishes, like pizza or pasta.

I just googled what "Mezzomondo" means in Italian and got this: 

mezzo: instrument, means, medium, middle, vehicle

mondo: world

May this budget-friendly red wine be the vehicle of enjoying your world tonight.
