If you're looking for some cheese to go with that wine, try some Cowgirl Creamery Cheese. I first read about this company in an article about 10 great small towns. Then, coincidentally, a few days later, one of our local stores, Valley Cheese and Wine, had a wine and cheese tasting where they featured Cowgirl Creamery cheese. I couldn't pick a favorite and had to bring home several. Whether your a fan of brie like soft cheeses or harder cheddars, you'll love these.

Make Your Own
I saw an article about a Las Vegas company, Grape Expectations, where you can make your own wine with the help of the proprietors. You pick the varietals, they buy them and then help you crush grapes and make your wine. Sounds like fun. The price to make 125 bottles is $1200 or just under $10 per bottle. Now I just need to find a few friends who will think it is fun to split the cost.

Wine In A Box
Today I picked up a box of Fish Eye Cabernet Sauvignon. It's kind of tasty. Looking at snooth, it looks like it's about $7 for a bottle. My box for $14 is about 4 boxes or 50% savings. The box says the life after opening is 6 weeks. It should last me about 3 weeks. :-)

New Friends
I'm always looking for inexpensive good tasting wines to have around the house. This weekend I found two nice wines at my local Trader Joe's. The first is Santa Barbara Landing Chardonnay which is light and flavorful and good with my salmon salad. The second is Trader Joe's Coastal Cabernet Sauvignon, not overwhelming and a great match for my spicy marinara.
