Wine-o: SCV Sauvignon Blanc

SCV Sauvignon Blanc, 2010 Sonoma, CA

13.7% Alcohol

This wine was recommended to me by Dan from Macadoodle's, a good white wine to have handy he would say.  To me, this wine has a very crisp aroma as well as taste.  It is almost zesty with citrus.  A short finish and on the drier side, this is not a "sweet" Sauvignon Blanc by my standards.  Nor would I say it has an "herby" flavor like the Nobilo Sauvignon (an aspect which I love in Sauvignon Blancs).

I opened this wine after the BF and I watched Food Matters, a documentary on "optimal health" through natural and wholistic practices.    I highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in a healthy diet or alternative healing options.  It seemed like this wine would go great with our "super" vegetable laden salads.  It did just that.  And I anticipate it will be delicious with our shrimp Green Curry Thai tonight.

Freya's Score: 7 I love this wine's back label.  It seems very authentic to me, I love this idea of having a simple rundown from the vineyard on the bottle.

Cost: ~ $15 in Southern Missouri, bought from the Macadoodle's location in Pineville, MO.  This is a great deal if you purchase it with the fantastic Macadoodle's case of wine deal.  Try out the Macadoodle's new e-commerce store to have wine and other goodies delivered to you.  

Health & Wellness: You Know You're Sick When...

...hot water with lemon juice is what you're craving.

It seems like this time of year people are passing bugs back and forth.  A couple tips to help stay healthy:

Eat healthy- lots of fruits of vegetables and the least processed foods you can manage
Hand Sanitation - get hand sanitizer for your office and make sure everyone knows where it is.  Wash your hands frequently and look into purchasing antibacterial liquid soap for your kitchen and bathrooms
Desk Sanitation - spray your computer and work station with disinfectant or an all purpose cleaner.  Don't forget to wipe down your keyboard, mouse, and phone!
Rest up - if you're tired, listen to your body and rest, take naps sleep long nights.  I am always amazed by what a difference sleep can have
Laugh - whether it's at a TV Show (Whitney is my current favorite) or at your crazy dog who has decided The BF's fishing boat is her new jungle gym.

It's nice to have such a trusty dog constantly at my side.
