some wine on the house
Posted by Rebecca, November 23rd, 2010
This is a partial view our dining room…
You will be seeing some more of this room in the next few days since Mike and I are hosting Thanksgiving! Yay!
This particular wall is home to our Ikea Vurm wine racks. Each side has two wine racks, holding 4 bottles each. We have had these wine racks for years- we had 3 of them in a line in our condo dining room. We knew they were definitely something we wanted to keep around, but since we have a larger space we decided to buy a fourth rack.
They are quite empty tonight, it’s been a rough few weeks okay! 😉 So before the holidays we are going to replenish. I love going to the liquor store… no for the reason you would think… but because of this pretty label…
And this one…
And doesn’t this just sound like a party?
Yes, I choose wines based on their labels. I also judge books by their covers. I’m sure a somewhere a connoisseur is cringing, but I like to think of them as art or conversation pieces. My current favorite?
Is that our house??
I love it. Not just the simplicity of the label, but that you come to our house and you get…. house wine. Get it? Okay it’s a little lame… but it’s cute and I’m tempted to buy a case.
Maybe with just a slight revision…
🙂
*Update: House Wine is apparently made by Magnificent Wine and they have a bunch of fabulous other labels! Table wine is a goody as well!*
I’m not a wine drinker, so I totally pick them based on labels, too! We picked up a bottle of House Wine’s red from World Market a while back (mostly because of the label and a portion of the proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity).
Whoa I only saw the white so I had no idea there were more! I just googled and the brand has a bunch of kinds! I will have to update the post with a link!
That would be awesome! Strangely enough I hadn’t seen the white at first, but I saw it at Whole Foods a shortly after we got the red.
I really like your wine house and wine racks and this kind of house i never saw before. I have just a wine table and now i want to make this type of rack which you have mentioned in the above post. Can you invite me our home because i want to spend some time this house?
Wow, you give me the best idea for this post. I have just a wine table and no any place for taking glass. Now i decide i should make this type of wine rack for hanging glasses. I want to make 12 pieces of wine glass rack.
I love asking people at the winery different questions. It’s so refreshing to hear different perspectives and new/interesting things about the wines one tastes.
