wow, can you believe that thanksgiving has already come and gone. i swear, as i get older the time just ticks on by so quickly. in a blink, we will be celebrating the new year! but as i reflect on thanksgiving, i am constantly reminded about how truly lucky i am to be surrounded by …
the end of summer…
it's hard to believe that summer has "officially" come to a close - well, i suppose technically not in florida (our state doesn't get the "cool down" memo every year). but labor day has passed and everyone is getting back into the swing of the normal routine. no more summer trips, relaxing on a beach …
red, white and rosé
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 …
ciao piedmonte
well, our journey through piedmont is coming to a close...but what an adventure it was! i seriously am so glad that we invested in this wine club membership. we have learned so much AND have been able to try so many different wines, some that we never heard of prior to this. now our last …
journey through piedmont
the journey through piedmont continues... and what better way to wind down on a wonderful thursday night than with a delicious bottle of wine, especially after the holidays. for last night's selection, we ended up picking a wine that we have never tried before – a 2013 cascina val del prete 'bricco medica' roero. wow, now …

december cheers!
can anyone else believe that we are in the month of december already? i feel like this year has passed us by so quickly. and as i think back on the year, we've done so much...multiple half marathons, a european adventure, and more! i believe sometimes we forget all of the great moments and we …
it’s holiday season
it's holiday season, and what better way to celebrate than with a glass of wine and decorating the house! seriously decorating for christmas is probably one of my favorite things to do...i will admit, we got back from our thanksgiving trip and putting the tree up was the first thing i did when we got …
north of the bay
another shipment has arrived from the grand tour...and can anyone guess what our next destination is? we didn't have to travel too far staying in the united states, but focused on a region that everyone knows - north of the bay (napa valley, sonoma valley and green valley). as much as i love trying wines …
tuscany tuesday
family dinner resumes! after a ton of travel and crazy work weeks, a fun night with our crew was definitely a must. and last night, we decided to make one of our favorites that reminds us of cooler weather. fitting since we are supposed to get "fall" weather in the sunshine state this week. can …
