I’ve never met a squat rack I didn’t like. It takes strength and endurance to chase around little ones.

This one is real special. 1973 Stag’s Leap Cabernet Sauvignon from one of the most iconic producers in Napa Valley. This is THE wine that won at The Tasting Of Paris in 1976 and put California on the wine map almost overnight. Since then, the wine industry has sky rocketed in the United States, most notably in CA, OR, WA & NY. The New World wine scene has never been better and our domestic producers continue to give the French a real run for their money when it comes to quality and value. Cheers to homegrown! And, to an incredible wine cell...

For me, wine is way more than alcohol in a glass. It’s a work of art, an opportunity to taste what someone has dedicated their life to crafting- in a way they think that vineyard and those grapes from that vintage is supposed to be. It’s a chance to explore a farmer’s philosophy and understand how that had a huge influence on the end product. It’s a way to bring friends and family together and share something that will never be what it is in that moment, ever again. It’s a way to celebrate & relax & explore. And, so much more. 🍷

My love for wine actually stems from the vineyard. I love being outside and have always had a green thumb, growing tasty vegetables and gorgeous flowers. I like plants and I find vineyards to be beautiful. The more I started exploring the world of wine, the more I realized that the magic is actually in the vineyard. In the soil and in the grapes. Each site is different and no two vineyards will produce the same grapes. They are unique and special, and have a story to tell about time and place and the people that tend to them. I really resona...

To be honest, I am a low key, yoga pants & no makeup kind of lady but when a special occasion roles around you better believe I get fancy. Well rounded, exquisite & of course obnoxiously expensive French champagne will be enjoyed tonight!

Please make yourself useful and bring me a glass of something structured and decadent. You can pick, but don’t keep me waiting because I lack patience. Hint: craving a Bordeaux right now

I wish you could taste this. Today I am enjoying the 2014 Onyx Cab from Pine Ridge Vineyards in the heart of California's prestigious wine country. It's silky & rich and the aromatics are enticing. I enjoy wine any time of the year, but there is something special about the fall. After all, that's when the growing season comes to an end and the harvest begins. You can almost feel the energy in the glass. I am looking forward to the newest vintage releases coming my way- it's been a good few years for wine! Cheers
