Fall is when the products I receive begin to increase, in
anticipation of the holiday season. While I’m not quite ready to rush into
Thanksgiving, I do have to keep up! Here’s some of the best that I’ve gotten to
try out this month.
DeLille Cellars Wines…
It’s been a few years since I’ve visited Washington state to
check out their wine regions. Woodinville was a spot I really liked because it’s
close to Seattle and contains a quite a few wineries, as well as tasting rooms
for wineries from other areas of the state.
One of the wineries there, DeLille Cellars, recently sent me
three wines that were quite good.
The 2016 Four Flags Cabernet Sauvignon is smoky and
oaky, with a sweet cherry nose and a long finish of herbs and fruit. The
flavors finish dry, as a good cab should.
As good as the Cabernet Sauvignon is, I am more drawn to the
DeLille Cellars D2. The chocolate-filled smell attracted me and the light,
fruity taste kept me drinking. I loved the black raspberry mix, with a hint of
cocoa.
The 2018 DeLille Cellars Chaleur Blanc is an
interesting blend of semillion and sauvignon blanc. It’s lightly oaked and a
bit buttery from French oak. The citrus finish is satisfying as well.
True root beer taste...
I am not a soda drinker, but give me a good root beer and I’ll
really enjoy it. Although I was skeptical at first, I was pleasantly surprised
that Root Out Whisky has that delicious root beer flavor.
This combination of vanilla and sassafras and aged Canadian
whisky is a winner. While my ideal would be with a scoop of vanilla ice cream,
I was more than happy to just sip it over ice.
Keep it healthy and green…
NatureZway™ sent me two of their eco-friendly
cleaning products. They are made from bamboo and are reusable, making them
better for the environment and cheaper to use in the long run.
The Vegetable Brush is made with natural fibers. It works
well on fruits and vegetables and cleans easily.
You won’t need to buy anymore paper towels if you purchase
the Perforated Towels. I haven’t had them long enough to prove the claim that
they can be used 100x, but I can tell you they clean well and can easily be rinsed
out and reused.
More from ChocZero and Beyond Equator…
I’m still experimenting with the products I received from
ChocZero and Beyond Equator. This month, I came up with some delicious ChocZero
Superfood Brownie Bars.
