Ah…the hiatus

So the last time I posted a Budget Vino review was a couple months ago. Not cool on my part. While I am not a man of excuses, there is a reason behind my hiatus.

A little while ago, I decided to focus purely on my physical health. Lots of reasons behind this, none of which I will get into here. Anyway, I got a killer personal trainer, started working out again regularly, and cut out a lot of stuff from my diet. Unfortunately, one of those things was wine. I know what you’re probably thinking- Isn’t red wine good for you? Answer- yes, it is (see linked article). However, under the guidance of my trainer, red wine got the boot (along with bacon- tragic I know).

The training is paying off. I feel great. I have crazy energy. I’m sleeping like a baby. While all this is good, I am seriously craving some red wine.  So, I’ve conferred with the trainer, and while bacon will continue to live on the “NO” list, red wine is coming back….and is coming back with a vengeance. I just picked up a sweet bottle of Merlot from BevMo, and I’ll be darned if I don’t crack it open this weekend.

So, Budget Vino readers, I apologize for the hiatus, but expect new reviews to start appearing next week.

Thanks for sticking around!

about time! i was going to take you off my reader.

i'm actually enjoying a merlot myself before I go out tonight (Concha y Toro) which is surprising because I don't usually drink merlot, but I was in the right mood. I look forward to hearing about yours.

Give up the bacon and drink twice as much wine.

Happy to literally stumble across your blog! Had a bottle of Deep Canyon Chardonnay last night, great buy for eight bucks. I too started working out with a trainer about two months ago; however, I told him that I am a booze hound and he had to train me harder if I was hungover! Good luck with your healthy endeavor! LeChaim!

All things in moderation, that's my motto. Glad to hear things are going well for you. Thanks for letting us know about your hiatus before you go on another hiatus. :-P
