“The most expensive part of having kids is all the wine you have to drink.”

-Mad Housewife Cellars

It’s so true. The more kids I had, the more wine I drank. It’s always great to find a fun, affordable wine that you like to drink. For more than 10 years, Mad Housewife Cellars has been making those fun, affordable wines.

Mad Housewife Wine

I sampled the the award-winning Mad Housewife Chardonnay and Merlot varietals.

Mad Housewife Chardonnay

This California Chardonnay is filled with flavors of melon, apple, and pear. I’m not generally a fan of California Chardonnays; there are only a few I actually like and this is one of them. It’s got hints of oak with a nice creamy finish and medium-mouthfeel. This Mad Housewife Chardonnay has won 17 awards at various wine festivals and competitions from 2007–2012. Amazing! The day I drank this, we paired it with a delightful lemon cake with cream cheese frosting.

Mad Housewife Merlot

I like Merlots, and this Merlot doesn’t disappoint. The prominent blackberry and plum flavors balanced with hints of vanilla and spice make this Merlot easy to pair with numerous dishes. I paired with a Double Chocolate Oreo Whoopie pie from a local bakery and it was fantastic! The Mad Housewife Merlot has won 13 awards from 2008–2012. Not shabby at all!
