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: Pinot Noir

Posted by Kendall Jones Tags:
Happy Friday!! This was a short week for me so the weekend came sooner than it usually does. I could get used to that! I'm excited to do my second Wine Friday of 2013. 2/4 Friday's isn't so bad! I'm makin' a come back...

 Today, I'm featuring my FIRST Pinot Noir of my Wine Friday series. Why? Because I've only met a few Pinot Noirs I ever liked. I'm more a full-bodied fan. But, this one is a gem. It recently converted me from a pinot-hater, to an ok-I-could-get-used-to-pinots person.

 The Crusher Pinot Noir

Year: 2010 or 2011

Origin: California

Average Price: $13
About the wine: It's got a little bit of a cranberry, plum thing going on that made me a happy girl. This is a great red when you're looking for something a little lighter. I'll definitely be buying this one again the closer we get to summer. The winery where this comes from also produces other favorites of mine such as Pepperwood Grove, Smoking Loon, The Other Guys, Moobuzz and many more I've featured on this blog.

Keith and I are planning a trip to Napa/Sonoma this year and this place may have to be on my list!

Happy weekend :)
