With Hanukkah upon us and Christmas around the corner, ‘tis the season to celebrate! I’m counting it down with some Thibaut-Janisson Virginia FIZZ. I first had this wine a little over a year ago when I went to Virginia to experience a harvest dinner during Virginia Wine Month. It was the first sip of the…

A Wining Easter Basket
Who else is prepping for #Easter? I’m stuffing my basket with some ABC Fine Wine & Spirits Sourced & Certified wines, like this Giorgi Platino Blue Demi Sec from the Lombardy region of north central Italy. Sourced & Certified is a collection of wines that ABC buys directly from the maker at a lower price…
2019 Better Be Chill
And just like that, another year has passed. 2018 was a mixed bag, but some highlights for me include purchasing my first home (#adulting), expanding my wine knowledge, and making great connections with all of you! I’m toasting to the opportunities to come in 2019 with some Ferrari Brut Trento DOC. This sparkling wine is…
A Gold NYE
In Miami, we have a reputation for being flashy, so this gold bottle of Bottega Gold Prosecco fits right in—especially just in time for New Year’s. The dazzling packaging was inspired by the gold tiles that decorate the St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Italy. Bottega has a rich history, over four centuries old, in the…
Love at First Taste: Virginia Wine Month
What do you know about Virginia wine? I didn’t know much myself until I took a trip up to “the Commonwealth” during Virginia Wine Month (October) to see what it was all about. Virginia may not be the first place that pops in your head when you think of wine, but their viticultural history predates…
Picnics and Riondo Prosecco
I’m all about embracing the weekend, so I’m popping some bubbly for the occasion. The weather has been strangely cooler these summer (almost fall) nights, so I take every chance I get to enjoy a glass of wine outside. Today, I’m sipping on a glass of Riondo Prosecco. Established in 2008, Riondo is located in…
Taittinger Tuesdays
Any day is a good day for Champagne, so why not make #TaittingerTuesdays a thing? I am pulling out a Taittinger Brut Prestige Rosé for the occasion. My mother-in-law brought it for us from Ireland, complete with the cute carrying case, so we were lucky enough to enjoy it with her upon her return. Pierre…
Cheers to Sparkling Margaritas
When I’m not drinking wine, I’m sipping on some tequila. So it’s no surprise that I’m always up for margaritas. Sometimes, I like mixing my two loves to create some bubbly, yet spicy, concoction. This time around, I grabbed a bottle of Louis Pommery NV Brut Sparkling to create my Sparkling spicy margarita. Alexandre Louis…
Cheers to Luna Nuda!
I am always down for a celebration. Whether it’s toasting to surviving Monday or clinking glasses over an anniversary, I am always happy to pop some bubbly. So when I heard that my friends at Luna Nuda Wines were changing the label on their Prosecco (on May 1, to be exact), I had to break…
Snap, Crackle, Pop, Frank Bonville Champagne
“Snap, crackle, pop, champagne!” That’s what my husband says every time we pop open a bottle of bubbly, which lets me know it’s going to be a good time. We recently closed on our first home, which is a good reason to pop open a bottle of Champagne (but, really, do I need a good…
