2002 Aia Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Napa Valley

First to recommend

Description

My sister turned me on to this light, fruity Cabernet -- she had tried it on one of her wine tasting trips and loved it, so when she had the opportunity to purchase a case on discount, she asked if we wanted to go in on it with her. I'm glad we did -- it's really a nice, drinkable red!

Nobilo Wines - USA Regional Collection Sauvignon Blanc 2005

First to recommend

Description

This is a crisp, light Sauvignon Blanc -- the kind of everyday wine that goes well with most foods. I've seen it in supermarkets for as little as $10 -- well worth it!

Andretti Winery - Montona Napa Valley Estate Wines

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Mario Andretti has earned a ton of money over the years -- and he has sunk a lot of it into this gorgeous Napa winery, which makes wonderful wines. The Montona Chardonnay is one of the best I've tried in a long time.

Modern Spirits Vodka

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I tried the pear and lavender flavored vodka, which sounds kind of crazy and cool (which it is) -- but best of all, it tastes great! (And until now, I was not one for sipping vodka straight). Now I am looking forward to trying the other flavors they offer. (via Alyson Wilson)

Cool Shooters Ice Shot Glass Maker

37 people recommended this item

Description

What's cooler than a shot glass made of ice? The fill and chill shot glass mold. Fill cool shooters with water or your favorite drink, freeze, and then pop out four fully-formed frozen shot glasses. Each frozen glass even has a 10 sided shaped base just like original shot glasses. Sweet!

iRobot Scooba

Description

So this is the only thing I'd like better than the Roomba. Because once you vacuum the floor, you have to wash it. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who has one yet -- so cannot give you the personal recommendation I did with my sister's Roomba. (via David)

Tide to Go

31 people recommended this item

Description

Our product-cowgirl Alyson always had her Tide to Go pen in her desk. I don't think she ever used it for her own stains, mostly to get the stains off of Gordon and my clothes.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser

First to recommend

48 people recommended this item

Description

I don't know how these work, but they do. Bike tire marks, shoe marks, pen marks, blood, whatever. Add a little water, and these things remove all kinds of marks and scuffs from painted walls. The first time you see them work, it's kind of like magic.

Spend 5 bucks and 15 minutes cleaning your walls during a move out and get all your security deposit back.
