Arrogant Frog

Tags: , ,

Everybody does it.  It’s hard not to!  Sometimes, without knowing anything about a wine whatsoever you are inclined to pick it up purely because of the label.  This was one of those buys – Arrogant Frog.  Now, not only does the label have an adorable little cartoon frog, in a beret no less, but it is called Arrogant Frog!  Who can resist?  Well, after trying the Lily Pad Noir (a 100% Pinot Noir varietal wine), not only can I call the bottle irresistible but I can say the same for the wine itself.  Smooth, fruit forward, and it paired terrifically with the caprese salad I had prepared. A nice, easy-to-drink pinot that will pair with a variety of dishes.  It’s great to drink on it’s own, too!  So grab a bottle and enjoy this delightfully cliche little wine and make sure to let me know what you think!  I give Arrogant Frog Lily Pad Noir 4-stars.

  1. I tried the Arrogant Frog Pinot Noir for the first time last night. It was fantastic. This wine proves the point that you don’t need to spend a lot of money to get a good glass of wine.

    I really liked the smooth taste and flavor. Highly recommend it.
