Rosé season is in full-swing and I couldn’t be happier! If you’re not already on board the rosé train (or rather, yacht), you may want to hop aboard. Leave your judgements at the dock because what was once considered a saccharine supermarket wine for “basic white girls” and maybe even your grandma, is making a … Continue reading Drink Pink: A Rosé Update
Looking to come to the wine side? When it comes to beer and wine, I often notice two divided camps. Some of my friends go wild for craft brews, while others’ eyes widen at the sight of a wine list. While I’m clearly partial to wine, I do enjoy visiting the beer camp for a cold one … Continue reading The Beer Drinker’s Guide to Wine
I’ve waxed poetic about Winc (formerly Club W) wines before (in this post). I mean, what is there not to love about $13 bottles of exclusive wine that are picked especially for you and shipped straight to your door? While most people prefer Winc to recommend wines to them based on answers to “Palate Profile” … Continue reading My Latest Winc Wine Delivery
Rob Davis did not set out to be a winemaker. In fact, he had always planned to study pre-med at the University of California at Davis. This past fall, Rob celebrated his 40th harvest at the Jordan Winery in Sonoma’s Alexander Valley and I couldn’t help but wonder when and why he traded in the stethoscope for … Continue reading Winemaker Spotlight: Rob Davis
Lights, camera, cheers! The 89th Academy Awards (a.k.a. one of my favorite nights all year-long) are on February 26th. It’s such a special evening rooted in old Hollywood tradition and is meant to honor the very best of cinema. I admittedly haven’t seen all of the major films up for nominations, but I’m glad I did get a … Continue reading Oscar Party Wines
Elevate your takeout with wine! As much as I love going out to eat, there’s something so satisfying about ordering in. If the restaurant delivers, I don’t have to suffer through L.A. traffic and I definitely don’t have to get dressed up. And you better believe that whenever I break open those boxes of my favorite takeout … Continue reading Takeout & Wine Pairings
There’s something wildly satisfying about having a little glass of Port wine after dinner, especially on a cold winter’s night. It’s my equivalent of a cozy evening spent fireside with tons of blankets and my favorite dessert. There are a few different styles, but aged tawny Port is my current favorite. If you’re not sure where to start with this Portuguese fortified wine … Continue reading Pour a little Port
I almost always have bottle of bubbly chilling in the fridge. Whether I’m celebrating a birthday or looking to improve a dreadful day, Champagne somehow makes the day a little brighter. Having a bottle on hand makes it easy to entertain when unexpected guests arrive and also reminds me that even the little things in life deserve celebrating! … Continue reading Champagne 101
A birthday dinner should always include three things: Great food, a memorable glass of wine, and the company of friends and family Blouse, Zara; Pants, Old Navy (here); Shoes, Report (here); Bag, Vintage. I celebrated my 22nd birthday this past week and was treated to a delightful dinner at director Francis Ford Coppola’s winery in Geyserville. Unlike … Continue reading An Italian Affair
Bring Pinot to the table this Thanksgiving! With my big family, chances are I’ll be sitting at the “kid’s table” for yet another year; however, I’m definitely swapping my Martinelli’s sparking cider for Pinot Noir. If you haven’t already noticed from my blog’s title and this post, I’m a Pinot Noir fanatic. Not only is it … Continue reading Pinot Noir: A Wine To Be Thankful For
