Uncorked Ventures Wine Review

**All opinions expressed are 100% my own.  I was not compensated for this post.  I was given two bottles of wine for review purposes**





The concept for Uncorked Ventures emerged during a family vacation to South America. While sipping on Pisco Sours along with wines from Chile and Argentina, two brothers-in-law (Matt Krause & Mark Aselstine) discussed their passion for food and wine, as well as their desire for something different, something better.

That something different, something better is Uncorked Ventures.

My Husband and I do not pretend to be wine experts.  We just know what we like!!  Uncorked Ventures sent us two bottles of wine to try; Vina Robles and Chatom Semillon.


Vina Robles is described as a unique blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Petite Sirah.  It is a dark colored wine with plum and cherry flavors, and medium in body.  We found the wine to be perfect for a hearty meal, paired with things like steak.

The Chatom Semillon is described as a clean wine.  It has a note of cream to it, and is very crisp.  We had this wine with our cupcakes (yes very fancy huh!!) 

Uncorked Ventures has three different subscription plans you can order:

Ornaments With Love Review

**All opinions expressed are 100% my own.  I was not compensated for this post.  I was given the below ornament for review**




Ornaments with Love is a company run by a family that has been in the retail gifts business for over 50 years.

For the past 16 years, we have taken our experience and applied it to selling personalized Christmas ornaments in Connecticut and Washington, DC area malls, 6 years on the Internet.

You may have seen us in Tyson's Corner, Montgomery, Lakeforest or Trumbull Malls.
Read about our Personalized Ornaments and view our catalog of 2000+ Personalized Christmas Ornaments.

It's that time of year again!!  The carolers are warming up their voices (even me with my horrible singing voice!) Christmas decorations are hanging up everywhere.  Kids are making out their lists for Santa, and parents are cringing with how expensive it all is!!

This is my favorite time of year.  I have already started decorating!!  Small things for right now.  I do most of the decorating Thanksgiving weekend.

With Christmas right around the corner, I am already planning how to set up my house.  We do it a little differently every year.  Especially the outside lights.  We have a blast seeing how creative we can be.  Over the last 14 years, Ben and I have collected so many ornaments that we use multiple trees.  We have ornaments to mark special occasions, places we've traveled and just because they were cute.

I was given the opportunity to work with Ornaments With Love again, and I chose a terrific ornament that shows all of my family members!!





I love how many names you can add to the ornament.  Most don't let you add more then a couple.  

I love the details of every bear, and how adorable they are.  The personalization is very neat and legible!!

I am very happy with my ornament, and I can not wait to get my tree so I can hang it up!!  Right now it is on my fireplace!!

Make sure you check out the large assortment of ornaments to choose from at Ornaments With Love and get your orders in for the upcoming Holiday Season!!  These make great gifts for everyone on your list!!
