“MommyJuice”. The name alone makes me want to try it. Yes, it’s a bit kitschy, but I am a mom after all and perhaps a little MommyJuice would do this mommy some good!
We were sent their Red and White Wines for review. What better way to review it than drinking with other mommy friends? Our DC mom, Kelly, was out in LA for a visit. Kelly, Tee and I got together for a bit of mommy bonding and taste testing. None of us are sommeliers, but we definitely can appreciate a good wine. While this wine does not knock any of us off our seats, for the price ($10) it’s tasty and a perfect add in to a gift bag this holiday or any impending baby showers on your calendar.

MommyJuice Wines was founded by Cheryl Durzy, a mom of 2 and 10+ year veteran of the wine industry in Sales and Marketing at Clos LaChance Wines. These wines were inspired by her young children that point to wine glasses everywhere claiming, “That’s Mommy’s Juice!” Her vision includes balanced, fruit-forward wines that bring just a bit of peace after the chaos of everyday life as a parent.

I love it! I could definitely use some right now!
Fun find! For $10.00 it’s definitely worth a try. Thanks, I’m going to check it out!
$10 for a bottle, that is a great deal! we say mommy and daddy fuel for coffee, so we should start saying mommy and daddy juice for the booze =)
