Following yesterday's post, I just know that you were all left on the edge of your seats, desperate for #1Nana and I to write up our reviews on my School Holidays Salvation package of awesome. Firstly, a little bit about us, your reviewers: Parental Parody is a Scorpio who loves silence and sleeping, neither of which fit cohesively with being Mum to the feral threesome. Pity. I spent years honing my taste for fine wines by pilfering from my parents' collection. When not able to discretely steal their good stuff, I suck back whatever I can get my hands on. In a dignified and ladylike manner. Unless you saw the pic of the Moet bottle, in which case you'll know that is a bare faced lie, and I'm more likely to be sucking it back in the literal sense. #1Nana is a little bit older and wiser than yours truly. I'd totally tell you her age, except I need her on my good side for babysitting, husband
With thanks to Liquid Ideas (who, following receipt of my School Holidays Survival package of awesome, I immediately gifted all working bodily organs to), today's review is all about bubbles.
Yellowglen Spritz
Now that's my kind of twins. Come to Mama!
Like a bubbly, fizzy, party in your mouth for the low price of $14.95 RRP. What's not to like about a bottle of bubbly that costs less than the home delivery pizza I had to resort to for dinner, after polishing off said bubbly? If you buy your Yellowglen Spritz from participating Liquorland and 1st Choice Liquor stores you may even win a car. Click here for details. I love that there is finally a bubbly on the market intended to be served over ice. In your face #1Hubby, who is horrified by the fact that I drink all wine over ice. Even red. Partly to give him the shits, partly because I do like my wine chilled. Partly because I claim the melting ice as my water between drinks content.
The verdict It's a little sweeter than your average garden variety bubbles. Which suits me no end, as I am more sweet than dry (in every possible way, ahem).
#1Nana on Yellowglen Spritz :
"Ooh it is nice with ice. Can I have a bigger glass? Just use that enormous coffee mug so I've got a handle."
The #1Nana equivalent of 2 thumbs up.
For those of you who don't discriminate...get both! Check out their Facebook page for gratuitous images of Larry Emdur's bestest TV host smile, while handling a couple of Yellowglen Spritz's. And for anyone who want to know more, head to the Yellowglen website. Tell them I sent you, so they know this was a fruitful exercise, and will consider me for future
Stay tuned for Monday's review of the Taylor's range of wines. This is where #1Nana really comes into her own, and there is some serious family in-fighting over who gets the last glass.
