Flip Flop wines are produced with “individual expressionism” in mind. Though the wines are finely crafted, well balanced and produced from high quality grapes the goal is not to over-explain or intimidate with fancy shmancy wine terminology, but to let people feel comfortable enjoying the wines however they see fit (like sitting around outside in flip-flops!).
Steve and I were really excited to try the Pinot Noir, especially Steve as it is absolute favorite! He doesn’t get to have it that often, though, because Pinot Noir is generally more expensive than other varieties. His favorite brand sells for about $25 and he’s way too frugal to buy that every week. The Flip Flop Pinot Noir sells for about $7/bottle! Rather than me trying to explain this wine and use high quality wine terms like, Yum and Pretty, here is the profile from David Georges (owner Flip Flop) himself.
We drink about a bottle of wine a week and have never really tried to “pair” wine with a certain food, so why start now? Here is how we tried our Flip Flop Pinot Noir. Steve made a beef pot roast and used about 1 Cup of the wine to cook the meat and veggies in and then we each had a glass with the dinner when it was done. Does that count as pairing wine with food?
The wine was a little bit on the dry side for me, but Steve was a big fan, especially for $7 and said he would gladly switch from the $25 bottle we usually buy. We did actually try the wine paired with chocolate chip cookies for dessert and that made for a great combination as the sweet cookies mixed well with the dry wine. One glass was definitely enough for both of us!
I am reviewing the wine also but I was not home Fri when Fed Ex came by. Hope to get it Monday.

B and his Dad have been drinking a lot of wine lately I’ll have to tell them about this, I’d bet they’d love the price!

I would get a bunch of vitamins, including the GNC Vitamin D-3 as I just read an article on how most of us are non getting enough of that in our diets.

Sounds good! I like white wine but I rarely buy any either.

The Flip Flop Reisling is quite good and the price is amazing. They were promoting at the store the other day and it was only $5!!!!

I love the idea of a hint of vanilla, and I love a good glass of wine with fish (mahi mahi is one of my favorites!) This sounds like something I’d really love!

Pinot is my favorite as well. I haven’t yet tried the Flip Flop label so I will have to keep an eye out for it. Generally, I prefer Oregon Pinot’s as they have a smoother, richer flavor, but they also tend to be pricier. Maybe this will be a nice compromise. 🙂
