Today Cooper told me he wanted to watch "Meatballs." A few weeks ago we went to the dollar theatre and saw "Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs." Cooper did great until the last 25 minutes of the movie, and Noah had to take him out of the theatre. So they both missed the ending. We really hadn't talked about the movie since that day, so I was surprised he remembered. So I made an evening of it, and I bought him the movie and made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. I bought a Pinot Noir to pair with the red sauce. I was trying to be cheap, so I bought the cheapest one I could find at target, with was a Barefoot for $4.99.
I smelled like cherry and spices, and tasted about the same. For being named "medium bodied" on the bottle, it was a bit bland. I'm not complaining though, because I don't mind bland! It was just drying enough to make you want to take another bite of dinner. It went well with the meatballs, and probably would have went really well with a red meat like steak. For under $5, I thought it was pretty darn good!
Barefoot just released their Pinot Noir last May (first to those who special ordered cases, and then eventually it was released to the stores). Since, it has gotten all 5 star ratings on their website by visiting guests! I'm pretty impressed.
