*This was a sponsored post written for Anew Riesling Wine for my affiliation with The Mother Of All Meltdowns. I was gifted two lovely bottles of wines. No other compensation was given and the opinions here are expressly my own.*
Friday afternoon usually for me is the end of my blog and design work week.
I usually wave the white flag and pack it in at this point. This particular Friday, I got one of the nicest deliveries from my UPS man, that I ever could get.
I am not kidding when I say I was never so happy to open up a box and see a perfectly beautiful wine label staring me in the face.
It worked out perfectly, for not only was I in need of a glass of wine, but I was also making my homemade stone flat pizza with dice tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, goat cheese and black olives, too.
This wine is said to be perfect on its own or paired with food. And I was told by Anew Riesling could be tried with spicy Asian dishes, smoked salmon, lobster salad, pasta with light sauces and blue cheese. I figured why not try it with Friday night pizza!
And yes, Anew Riesling offered just the right amount of bright fruit, subtle spice and citrus with a harmonious blend of pure fruit flavor, heightened aromatics and balanced acidity. I even could taste the fresh peach (one of my favorite fruits), as well as a hint of spice that gave this wine a crisp, refreshing essence.
Simple put it was perfect and didn’t miss a beat for me and was truly a nice balance of medium dry/sweet that was promised to me by Anew Riesling.
So, huge thank you to Anew Riesling for letting me try their lovely fruit wine with my Friday night meal.

Even though I like to drink wine sometiems, I have no idea about different types, flavors, or distinctions of wine -which annoys my hubby. Though I do LOVE a sangria udirng the summer. Lately I am a big fan of beer.

I love Sangria, too Karen, but not much of a beer drinker though. However, I married an Irishmen, so beer is never far off in our house for him 🙂

Friday night is also our traditional pizza night and now I really can't wait for the weekend. Are those olives on your pizza? I used to hate them, but now love them on pizza. Especially with feta and sundried tomatoes…. mmmm! 🙂 Hope you're having a great Wednesday – all downhill to the weekend from here, yay!
My recent post Running Tips for Newbies
Janine Huldie says
Same here with Fridays being pizza night, especially during Lent, when we don't eat meat at all on Fridays. And yes those are black olives (both Kevin and I love them, too!). Happy Wednesday to you, too and definitely downhill from here on out!! 🙂

Hmm. I'm not a big wine drinker, but if I do have a glass it's white wine. I will have to remember our lovely sponsor the next time I need to bring a bottle as a hostess gift!

The only thing better than a wine delivery on a Friday, is probably a wine delivery on a Monday. That's when I'd need one!
It looks so refreshing. I love that you researched food pairings.

So true about Mondays and especially this past one! As for the food pairings, I just couldn’t resist 😉

You're so awesome Janine. Because good wine is good wine and good wine goes with every food (or no food). Also? Your pizza looks amazing!!!!
