Flip Flop wines review


Have you heard of Flip Flop wines!   They are outstanding wines at a great value (in fact they are downright frugal) with a price of only $7 SRP. Plus when you buy Flip Flop wines, you can feel good about it!  They have partnered with Soles4Souls Inc., the international shoe charity dedicated to providing free footwear to those in need. The program will raise much needed funds to give one pair of flip-flop sandals for each bottle of flipflop wine purchased (up to 100,000 pairs for the first 100,000 bottles sold, where promotion is legal. To learn more about Soles4Souls, please visit: http://www.soles4souls.org/


Flip Flop wines has something for everyone!   Currently their selection of wines are Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Moscato, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir.  I am a white wine girl and I especially love Moscato wine.  I received a couple of bottles  of wine to review.  It was a hard job, but someone had to do it!  I received a bottle of  Chardonnay, Cabrenet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir!

The Chardonnay is an amazing wine.   I tried it with pizza as suggested and it was a perfect pairing.   I loved the vanilla hints along with the oak hints.  I am a sweet wine lover, but have now found a new appreciation for Chardonnay!  I bet it would be perfect with some cheese and crackers for my next girls night!  Flip flop Chardonnay just received a “Best Buy” from Wine Enthusiast magazine in the June issue!

Cabrenet Sauvignon is a dry wine, that is true!  I can not say anything bad about it.  For those of you who love a good dry wine that is not too complex, but full of  rich flavors, this is the wine for you.  Plus  this is another reasonable wine! perfect to pair with grilled meats this holiday weekend!

Last, but certainly not least I tried the Pinot Noir!   It definitely has a taste of cherry flavor with each sip.  Now when a wine states it should be paired with chocolate chip cookies, then it sounds great to me!  I could see how the flavors complimented each other!   The Pinot Noir was also one of the wines that just got a "Best Buy" from Wine Enthusiast magazine in the June issue.   

I have enjoyed all the flip flop wines so far!  I would love to try the Moscato! I am sure it does not disappoint at all. I can see these as being the perfect summer wines. Sitting on the deck in the sun, enjoying a nice cool glass of wine sounds perfect right about now!

You can purchase FlipFlop Wines online for $7.00 a bottle or $84.00 a case. So go ahead and order some.
