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

It's Friday!!
Wine Friday to be exact.

Don't know what I'm talking about? Read my post from last week. It's a new fun thing around here!

Here's a wine I really enjoyed this past weekend:

The-Velvet-Devil-Merlot-2008__19896_zoom

The Velvet Devil - Merlot
Year: 2008
Origin: Charles Smith Wines, Washington State
Average price: $12.99
Wine Notes from Snooth.com: Packed with deep, dark berry fruit and nuanced hints of cocoa, herb and earth with a soft structure. Its velvety texture makes this Merlot instantly appealing.
My review: This Merlot has an attitude! Loved it.

Happy weekend, everyone!

I just found a new Merlot favorite this week as well. I haven't seen this bottle before, but now I must look for it.

Love your new Wine Friday posts Kendall - such a great idea. Merlot is the only red that I don't usually like, but I think I would buy this one based on the label alone!

I just found your blog - it's super cute! I like the Wine Friday feature - especially since your palate is like mine and will go for a red more often than a white!
