Good Weather Wine - Wine You Can Feel Good About

IMG_1241.jpeg

When it comes to wine, I love it! I’m definitely a wine drinker, but it can often leave me with a headache the next day. That’s why when I happened upon Good Weather Wine, I couldn’t have been more excited!

Good Weather Wine is a wine subscription service that hand selects clean, natural wine, and ships it straight to your door. They only choose wines that have no additives, no chemicals, and no added sugar, plus they’re all low in sulfites as well. Each of their bottles is handcrafted at small wineries and is organic, biodynamic, and/or sustainably farmed. Plus their wines are keto and paleo friendly if that’s your thing.

Subscribing to Good Weather Wine is simple! You just select how many bottles you want - 3 for $90, 6 for $150, or 12 for $290. Then you pick whether you want red, white, or a combo. And finally, you choose how often you want to receive your boxes. You can also easily stop or pause your membership at any point. You can sign up here and use the code GOODWINE to get free shipping on your box!

I just recently received my first box of wine and went with six bottles and a mixture of red and white.

I received 3 different reds, 2 whites, and rosé all of which were deliciously different and head-ache free! Plus they were all highly rated and came from small wineries that I haven’t had the chance to try. I did a little at home tasting with some friends which was a blast. Overall, I had a great experience with my Good Weather Wines!

Whether you’re looking to branch out and try new hand selected wines or are trying to make the switch over to clean, natural wines, Good Weather is a great option! I highly recommend giving them a try here and using the code GOODWINE to get that free shipping!

My Favorite Way to Unwin(e)d with FitVine

If you know me, you know that I love my #WineWednesdays and at-home (or virtual) happy hours with friends! There's nothing better than a nice glass of wine with dinner to help me unwind at the end of the day or a couple of glasses shared over a cheese and fruit board with my girlfriends. That's where my go-to, FitVine, comes in. FitVine makes a variety of ten different delicious wines that are all perfect for those who are active, have dietary restrictions, or are just looking for a better way to fit wine into their life, so basically everyone!

All FitVine wines have less sugars, carbs, and calories than traditional wines. They're also all keto, paleo, and vegan friendly as well as gluten-free and non-GMO. So what does that mean for taste and ABV? Absolutely nothing! They all have a full-bodied, delicious flavor and the alcohol content you'd expect from standard wine. A few other great things I love about FitVine are that their wines have no flavor additives and fewer tannins. It honestly doesn't get any better than FitVine in my opinion!

One of my favorite blends is FitVine's Pinot Noir which has just 0.03g of sugar, 3.7g of carbs, and a 13.9% ABV per 5 oz glass. It's super smooth and well balanced with hints of black cherries and honey, and it's the perfect compliment to your favorite cheese board or at-home happy hour! I picked it up right from my local Walmart, but you can find it at Publix, and Whole Foods as well, or you can find a store near you here.

I'm also a huge fan of FitVine's Cabernet Sauvignon. It has just 0.06g of sugar, 3.9g of carbs, and a 14.1% ABV per 5 oz glass. I picked it up at my local Whole Foods when I was grabbing all of the ingredients for this flavor-packed one-pan dinner, and it couldn't have paired better!

One-Pan Baked Salmon, Potatoes, and Mushrooms Recipe:
(Serves 2)
1. Pour yourself a glass of FitVine Cabernet Sauvignon to enjoy while you prep and cook your dinner.
2. Quarter 8-10 baby potatoes, toss them with avocado oil, sea salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme, and bake on a baking sheet in a preheated 425 degree oven for 10-15 minutes.
3. Season two salmon fillets with seafood seasoning or the seasonings of your choosing (sea salt and pepper work perfectly fine).
4. Slice 8-10 Baby Bella mushrooms, and toss them with avocado oil, sea salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme as well.
5. Add the salmon fillets and mushrooms to the same baking sheet, and continue to cook for an additional 10-12 minutes until the fish is cooked through.
6. Serve with your favorite fresh greens, tomatoes, and/or other veggies and a nice glass of FitVine Cabernet Sauvignon, and enjoy! That Cabernet-mushroom combo is perfection, trust me!

You truly can't go wrong with any of FitVine's wines. Some of my other favorites are their Sauvignon Blanc and Rose, and I love to make a nice, light mimosa with their Prosecco. There's really a FitVine wine for everyone! I usually pick mine up at my local Whole Foods or Walmart, and they're also available at Publix. You can use this store locator to find the closest retailer near you. Let me know which wine you try first and which is your favorite in the comments below!
