This month, we have opted to toast the first of November with a half-bottle of Gruet Brut Ros\u00e9<\/a> from New Mexico for a few reasons. <\/p>\n

Gruet Winery<\/a> offers a variety of wines from its line in both full and half bottles. <\/p>\n

First, we want to encourage everyone to buy and enjoy more half-bottles of wine! They work for times when just the two of you want to enjoy a toast or when you want to open your meal with something light and sparkling and have another wine with your main course.<\/p>\n

Second, half-bottles are great to have on hand for serendipitous celebrations. Years ago, a good friend started her own consulting business. She called Penny to share the news that she had landed her first big client. Penny invited her to come over and pop a cork of Gruet to mark the occasion. It was just a few minutes out of each of their busy day, but the woman talked about that little celebration for years.<\/p>\n

Finally, with the holiday season approaching, it's good to have a great value wine on hand in quantity. Gruet is reasonably priced and of very good quality. It can serve as the wine at a party or meal. Its New Mexico origin is a real conversation starter. It also makes a great gift. The case we purchased will be given out to those who deserve something a little extra from us with their tip at year's end.<\/p>\n

Trying wines from different places, made with different grapes and produced by different methods, adds spice to our monthly ritual. Since 2007, we have raised a glass of sparkling wine to greet each new month!<\/p>\n

We purchased our half-bottle at Gordon's Fine Wine and Spirits<\/a> for $9.99 as a part of a case deal.<\/p>\n
