How to Choose a Wine Based on your Parenting Mood

Because parenting takes patience and sometimes a glass of wine!

Parenting Mood: I just cleaned the house but it’s a mess again.
Wine Pairing: Flowers Pinot Noir
Sometimes you just have to leave it until tomorrow. Nights like this call for a glass of Pinot Noir to help ease the stress of the never-ending mess. We've learned to embrace the chaos, but sipping on a Pinot definitely helps lighten the load.

Parenting Mood: I just broke up the 30th sibling argument over plate colors.
Wine Pairing: Grgich Hills Estate Sauvignon Blanc
This crisp, refreshing white wine is just the kind of thing you need during these moments to reset after high-stakes meal time diplomacy.

Parenting Mood: I just survived a tantrum in the Target parking lot.
Wine Pairing: Merlot
Merlot is the perfect wine to enjoy with your partner after a day of shopping and diffusing tantrums.  Pair it with a K+M chocolate bar to really indulge while sharing your crazy day…maybe you’ll even laugh about it!

Parenting Mood: We are on vacay! Finally!
Wine Pairing: Schramsberg Sparkling Wine
Sparkling wine all the way! A classic representation of celebration. Schramsberg Sparkling Wine sets the mood for any vacation...bright, bubbly, festive, and fun.

Parenting Mood: Everyone is asleep and it’s only 8 p.m. ~ this never happens!
Wine Pairing: Napa Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon
This bold, rich Cabernet is our go to for evenings like this and the perfect way to wind down after a busy day.

Parenting Mood: I'm feeling all the things because my kids are growing up too fast…but, also, why is there slime stuck to the carpet?
Wine Pairing: Gentleman Farmer Rose
This amazing Rose is such a treat and is the perfect wine to sip on while scrolling through family videos and photos of your sweet littles and also while searching the internet for how to remove slime from surfaces.

Parenting Mood: I just stepped on a LEGO and need a moment.
Wine Pairing: Frank Family Chardonnay
This full-bodied, fruit forward Chardonnay is the perfect pairing while you ice your foot and reflect on the many hazards of parenthood. This is one of our favorites for ending a chaotic day.

Parenting Mood: The laundry is finally done… or is it? And why can’t I find any matching socks?
Wine Pairing: Zinfandel
A great Zin is perfect for the constant demand that is the never-ending family laundry pile. While folding what might be the last basket (but, is it really?) sip on a yummy red wine and embrace the unmatched-sock mystery.

No matter your parenting mood, a glass of wine can add a little sparkle and calm to your day. Make sure to laugh through the tough moments, celebrate the sweet ones, and remind yourself that it is always good to find the humor in the chaos.
