happy red, white and rosé?! yesterday was the fourth of july, and naturally we celebrated in typical fashion...with wine! i love this time of the year - sweet summertime, relaxing with friends and it's honestly the perfect time for a nice refreshing rosé. i hadn't really been a huge rosé drinker until just recently, especially after understanding …
vacation rosés?

love & squalor
our latest "the grand tour" wine shipment has taken us from europe back to the good ol' united states. and this time, we are exploring the wines from the beautiful state of oregon. now, i've had a few oregon wines previously, but never really explored too much outside of the pinot noir variety - so …
