Well, hello October! I know everyone is saying it, but this year has really flown by!
Now that it's Fall, what a better time to break open the reds! I've had the Marryhill Winemaker's Red a few times and it doesn't disappoint. The Winemaker's Red is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvingon, Syrah, and Cabernet Franc. It's very easy to drink, it's smoky but also has a slight sweetness to it. This is a wine my sister-in-law got while in Oregon. I'm not sure how easy it is to find on the east coast, but I know it's available on the west coast since it's a Washington wine.
The winemaker's describe this wine as "Layered with jammy, rich, red fruit flavors, lined with hibiscus, tar and sweet cedar notes. Pleasing, balanced finish".
If you see this wine, pick up a bottle - I'm sure you'll like it as much as I do.
Last week, the sweet Caitlin from Coffee With Caitlin asked me to participate in the Tour Around Blogland. I of course agreed to participate because it's a fun way to learn more about blog authors and find out how they write their blogs.
1 -- What am I working on?
Lately I've been into trying a few DIY's. Yesterday I showed my spray painted wine bottles, I have a wreath in the works and I'm also thinking about doing a house tour in the near future.
2-- How does my work differ from others in its genre?
I think the one thing that sets my blog apart is my love of wine. I love trying new wines and look forward to writing reviews (not that I'm an expert) and sharing them with everyone. Also, I feel like my blog covers a wide variety of things and is truly a "lifestyle blog".
3-- Why do I write/create what I do?
I write what I do because I feel like this is MY little corner. As a stay-at-home mom, I am always so focused on the kids and the house all of the time. It's nice to have something that's for me, something that allows me to be creative and write about whatever is on my mind.
4 -- How does my writing/creative process work?
It really differs, sometimes I have weeks of posts planned out (I use a calendar on my iPhone so I can jot down ideas) and other times, it's very last minute and I just write about whatever is on my mind at the moment. I much prefer when I have a week or two planned out, but that doesn't always happen.
Thank you Caitlin for nominating me!
Now it's your turn to link up for Wino Wednesday!

West Coast wines are SO good! I miss living out there and being close to so many delicious wineries. Washington and Oregon are full of them, which totally surprised me. Can't wait to see more DIY's and do a house tour! (I'm so nosy and need inspo!)
Yay for October -- I have 4 bottles of red wine ready to go! And yes, please do a home tour soon!! :)
I so wish I could participate in the wine wednesday link up! Trust me, after December it's on! I love red wine in the fall!
I love me a good red wine. YUM!
I love the way you describe wines - makes me want to try them all! I hope you do a house tour - can't wait to see all your little touches around it!
I can't believe it's October.. craziness! It's definitely starting to cool off enough for me to go back to reds, and I always love a good blend :)
your blog makes me want to start drinking wine! ;) xo jillian - cornflake dreams
I'm not usually a fan of red wines but this one sounds pretty good! I think there's something about drinking it at room temperature that throws me off... LOL!

you make me want to try this wine! might have to see if i can get it here, my husband would love it at least :) and yes please to house tour - i love those!
I always love your wine recs! I need to get into red wine more. I usually stick to white but I know it has tons more sugar!
I love home tours, hope you do :)
mmm adding this one to the list!! Love your blog & wine reviews!
This sounds great! I'm so excited to be drinking lots of great reds now that fall is here so I'll definitely be adding this to be my shopping list!
Thanks for the recommendation I am always on the hunt for a good red!
Darn wish that wine was East Coast, but then it would be muscadine grape-based and disgusting ha. Nice review and loved reading about you!
I miss being able to pop up to Napa and Sonoma for fun and tasting everything. ;)
Great wine post!
That wine is one of my go to red staples. So good!
You should definitely do a home tour. I am obsessed with home tours! I want to do one soon, but have a few things to finish up first. Paint the dining room, finish painting trim etc. There just isn't enough time in the day! I might have to get in on this Wino Wednesday ;) Love the idea!
for me getting back into the reds ... yes!!!
Adding this the long lists of wines to try come November!
