Wine has been romanticized for quite some time, and for good reason. My running joke is that wine makes the perfect partner because it can never break your heart. I’m joking, obviously, but it’s kind of true, right? This then made me wonder if wines were “on the market,” so to speak, which would be comparable to a first love, summer … Continue reading If Wines Were Dateable…
When I was a kid, my mom would drag me and my sisters to countless flea markets and antique shows. At the time, I could care less about types of Majolica and old clocks (sorry, Mom), and was more interested in the answers to two questions: “When is lunch?” and “When are we going home?” While the … Continue reading Ten Days in Texas
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
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
I like long, romantic walks to the cheese counter. Cheese is easily one of my favorite food categories. As a kid, I had a penchant for Brie. Nowadays, I gravitate towards goat cheese and Gouda. But in all honesty, I’m down for any wheel, any day. I’ve really never met a cheese that I didn’t like. There’s … Continue reading
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
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
