Happy Wine Wednesday everyone!
This week, I wanted to do a little something different from my typical wine review. Every time that I am reviewing a new wine for the blog, my husband makes some comment after reading it about “I don’t smell that in there”, or, “It just tastes like red wine to me.”
Since he seems to have such a classy elegant interesting take on wine tasting and reviewing, I thought I would let him review this week’s bottle for us. I even let him pick it out, can you tell?;)
The Great American Wine Company Red Blend
(Review by Mr. Motherhood and Merlot)
First of all, let me start by saying anything that starts with “The Great American…” is worth a try. For instance, this fantastic bottle of wine that I am about to ramble on about would be a complimentary pair to the “The Great American Dream,” another grand idea that I figure was worth a try. Honestly, the chase of the great american dream is what led me to hunt for this specific bottle of wine and exactly how I ended up here today.
Before I get into my completely uneducated, inexperienced wine drinker review of this red blend, let me start off by saying I haven’t the slightest idea as to what makes a good bottle of wine. Little secret, I usually only buy wine for a few reasons:
1.My wife usually reviews a bottle of wine of Wednesday.
2.I find some sort relaxing appreciation of art while I pace up and down the aisle admiring the wine labels.
3.It has a high alcohol by volume percentage and doesn’t make me feel as sleepy and bloated as beer.
I really have no idea how to review wine. When Joanna asks me what I think of the wine, my usual answer is: “It’s good” or “I don’t like it”or “It’s dry”. But usually, and she can attest to this, my answer is “it’s good I will finish it!” That’s exactly the case with this bottle of The Great American Wine Company Red Blend by Rosenbaum Cellars. I mean, I am half through the bottle already. To help me stay on track with this review I used a very fitting guide entitled “Geek Technique on How to Taste Red Wine” by winefolly.com

A big thanks to my hubby for being such a good sport and for sharing his view on what wine tasting is!
*Cheers to sharing a glass of wine with the ones we love*
This is hilarious. Especially the part where he says the wine smells like grandmas house minus the antiques!! Tell your husband he is a hoot!!
I’ll be sure to tell him;-)
hahahaha this is hilarious lol your husband is too funny. I LOVE that you do wine reviews, btw. But I’m in the same boat as your husband. Ask me to review wine and I’ll be like…um….it tastes delicious. Love wine, but need to learn a lot more about it. Thanks for sharing this!

It was pretty good! Worth a try for sure.
My husband and I enjoy a glass or two of wine together every evening and I’m always on the lookout for new wines to try. I’ll have to look for this one.
So funny, that would be my Mr. he grabs any bottle and says how’d you like it. He’s not really a wine drinker. Unfortunately, he can’t see buying a moderate priced bottle even. It’s only when I go grab one we have a chance. But, I’m so far from knowing what to get. These recommendations have been helpful. Thanks!

I’m glad you have found them helpful! There are so many choices out there, it’s hard to just grab one and hope it’s decent.
so funny!!! I have taken a handful of wine classes and I still can’t tell the difference.
