Tonight's wine is from Su Vino Winery in Grapevine, Texas. They make and bottle all the wine in Texas. They do ship, but we try to stop at least once in awhile on our way home from picking up the kids.
The Summer Rain wine is a blend of a white table wine and kiwi and fruit flavors. The wine is very sweet, but flavorful. If you like Reislings or Guertztraminer, this might be something you enjoy. If you like homemade wine coolers, this would be good mixed with soda water.
It is also only 8% alcohol so for people who want to drink wine without some of the negative effects, this might be a good choice. This is definitely a nice wine for a hot summer day. Some wines get heavy and hard to drink in the heat, but this is a very nice wine even when the temperatures never seem to drop below 90 if you like sweet wine.

Affectionately Winey
I am no expert, but according the definition, I am an aficionado, which is a person who is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about an activity, subject, or pastime. Can you say ABSOLUTELY! Wino in residence!
My mother-in-law roped in her son, who in turned dragged me in. We all blame LINDA, lovingly of course. But in I am all in, so here I go. I am a struggling teacher, a hopeful stay at home mom, so my wine choices may be on the less expensive side, but frugal wine buys are the best wine buys. I am sure a $100 bottle of wine is better than a $10 bottle, but if I can't afford to drink it, who CARES!!!!!?!??!?
I want to blog about the wine most of us can actually afford. My tastes run the gamut of flavors. I love a bold red with a great meaty lasagna or steak and a frilly sweet wine next to the pool in the summer. I love wine and plan to tell you what wines taste like and steer you toward wines you might enjoy. Sometimes the information on the bottle or a neat label just aren't enough information.
My plan is to buy and drink a different bottle every few days, don't want to overindulge with a teaching career! and give you vintners and wines to get you started on your own wine adventure. I hope to increase my wine tasting vocabulary as I go, but bear with me if I don't have all the descriptors to go with my wines. I will work on growing in knowledge if only to be able to drink more effectively!!
CHEERS!
