Beautiful Hand Painted Wine Glasses




My husband love win but I'm not fan. I drink more mixed drinks but it never hurts to drink them out of a wine glass. So I was very excited to review this set of Hand painted Wine Glasses.

I received this set this morning and when I pulled them out of the box I was amazed at how stunning they are. Pictures do not do them any justice at all. They are big glasses so they will really stand out in a table setting. Like my husband "I could drink some wine out of those!" He is the wine drinker in the house so I thought I was going to give this as a wedding gift but there is NO way they are leaving my house.

The blown glass look is amazing like stained glass. All I could do was look at them in awe for a few minutes. Since they are hand painted the set is similar but they are slightly different which makes the set even more eye catching. I can't wait to have a place to store these in plain sight. I want people to look at them.



They light weight but not as delicate as I would have thought. I put them on the table and my children sat down to eat. Wouldn't you know I tell them don't touch the wine glasses. My son exclaimed ~~ SHE already knocked one of them down. I was furious waiting to see a shatter glass. But I was very happy to see no glasses were harmed.

I won't let my set go but these would make an amazing gift for a wedding or any special occasion. If you want a set for yourself or a gift you can pick them up hereLet me say they are worth the cost plus some. I have never seen such a stunning piece of glass.
I received these at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion but the opinion expressed is all mine.

Wine Club by Uncorked Ventures



I'm not a huge wine drinker but my husband loves wine. I think wine is a great way to relax after a hard day so I was excited to try something new. Please forgive me I really don't know much about wine. But I do know a lot about subscription boxes which is what Wine Club by Uncorked Ventures offers. 



If you sign up for the Explorations Wine Club you will receive one white and one red wine in your box. What is Truly unique is you can choose how often you would like your wine shipped. If you only want a one time shipment that's no problem if you want a shipment every month that's no problem either. And you still pay the same amount per box no matter how long you decide to set up the membership. 

Uncorked Adventures also offers boxes for people who know a little more about wine than I do you can get 2 red  high demand wines per shipment or if you have even finer taste you can 2 or 3 red wines per shipment and your box will consist of highly prized, cellar worthy wines. So they offer lots of options. And is addition to the WineClub they have beautiful gift baskets.



I received a bottle 2012 Chatom Semillionm white and a bottle Sola, red wine. Both different brands and with different backgrounds I popped open my red wine and sad to say it was too dry for me or my husband. But I recorked it and I gave it to my sister. She was all too happy to take it. She loves wine. 

I still have not opened the white wine I think I'm saving that one for Christmas. That is a tradition we play UNO or Phase 10 and drink wine after lunch.  I do like to cook with white wine so it may not make it to Christmas lunch we will see. 

Choosing the frequency of shipments means I can try a box one month and if I like it go back and get delivery more often. Think about a one month would be a great Christmas ( or any other holiday) gift for a wine lover in your life.





I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers..
