wow, i can't believe we are already into the month of february this year! i don't know about all of you, but the start of this year has totally escaped me and i definitely have not been staying on top of writing. definitely a goal of mine to get back into a more consistent pattern …
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 …
blind tasting with a master somm
man, i just realized i never had the chance to recap "national rosé day." i mean, being wine lovers, we naturally celebrated a day dedicated to all things rosé by attending an event at wine bar george, one of the newest locations at disney springs?! now, we honestly had no clue what to expect walking into …
wine, from mexico?
i know, you're probably thinking that i am crazy right now. but we really had an incredible wine, not from caiifornia or italian vineyards, but from our neighboring country, mexico called bichi mission 'listan' tecate 2016. now we were first introduced to this wine when we visited verve wine in new york city. as we …
hello austria…

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 …
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 …
salute: part 2
the journey through tuscany continues...and let me tell you, just WOW! the next wine we tried was absolutely incredible. the perfect amount of flavor and it had an incredible finish with persistent tannins (in my opinion the best finish to a wine). but which wine am i talking about? none other than the cerbaie 2012 …
