Hello! Welcome to Keeping Up with the Joneses. Thanks for stopping by! We're a young couple living in the East Arkansas/Memphis area otherwise known as The Delta, with a love for family, friends, faith and food.

We believe that some of the best memories are created at home around the dinner table, and when entertaining those you love. This little blog is where I share recipes, wine, our home and our life. Enjoy! -Kendall

What You'll Find:

I love to try new recipes. In fact, I rarely make the same thing twice. I'm a bona-fide cookbook collector, Pinterest addict and magazine aficionado. On the blog, you'll see what I've got cooking.

I love wine, y'all, so from time to time I feature bottles I've loved. Crafts and decorating our little house are passions of mine, so you may see some of that. Thanks for stopping by!

Wine Friday: Merlot

Hello, Friday. It's so very nice to see you.

It's time for the weekend, folks! Keith and I have a date planned tonight (all his idea, love that!). It will involve a nice dinner out and returning home afterwards for wine and a rented movie, I'm sure. Perfect!

Since it's Wine Friday, I'll probably be reaching for a bottle of this:

RedRockMerlot


Red Rock Winery - Merlot
Year: 2008
Origin: California
Average price: $9.98 (wahooo!)
Wine Notes from Snooth.com: Lush concentrations of ripe cherry, strawberry, raspberry, and slight vanilla aromas with flavors of briary blackberry and raspberry. The intense red and black jammy aromas and flavors are complemented by soft, rounded tannins. (whatever THAT means...)
My review: This is one of my go-to Merlots that I like to keep stocked all the time!



It also happens to be Super Bowl weekend. Keith and I are hosting some friends over, so I'll be sure to blog about whatever delicious appetizers and cute decor I can whip up at the last minute!
 
Happy Friday!
