About last night…#WomanCrushWednesday was in full force with my beffies. We had our first girl’s night since, well, before the pandemic started. And let me tell you, the Zoom happy hours and daily messaging does not compare to cackling and catching up in real life. For this special, and now rare, occasion, we busted out…

COVID-19 Travels through my Glass
Ah, 2020, what an unexpected journey you’ve been. This summer, I was supposed to take a couple of trips, including a wine trip to Abruzzo in Italy. Luckily, I can still travel through a wine glass and hopefully go next year. I chose Italo Pietrantonj Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo rosé 2017 for the occasion. Abruzzo is located…

Starting Summer with La Fête du Rosé
It’s officially the beginning of summer (even though it’s felt like summer in Miami for a while), which means it’s time for long Rosé-filled days outdoors. To toast to the occasion, I grabbed a bottle of La Fête du Rosé 2018. Founded by Donae Burston, this Black-owned wine label is produced in collaboration with notable…
Wigging Out in Quarantine
I’m going on week five of working from home and probably week three of a pretty legitimate quarantine. I don’t know about you, but I’m starting to get a little stir crazy. I miss the weekly routine, my friends and family, my CrossFit cult community, eating at restaurants, running pointless errands, paddle boarding—the list can…
Sweaty Rosé Sips
With everything on lockdown, I’m still managing to get my crossfit in. Yes, at a home gym aka my wine-drinking deck, but it’s a decent place to get my sweat on. After a workout these days, instead of avoiding alcohol because of the calories, I treat myself with a nice glass of vino. It’s the…
Everything’s Coming up Rosés
With daylight savings here—one of my least favorite times of the year—I figured I would look on the bright side and use that extra hour to work on my yard. If you didn’t already know, I’m really into plants. Landscaping is so therapeutic and rewarding, it’s truly one of the ways I unwind when things…
Rosé with my Bebé
When summer nights are bearable, I hang in the backyard with my Bodhi Bear – the best red Doberman you’ll ever meet. We throw a ball around, I scratch her neck a bit, and she let’s me sip on some wine. We complement each other perfectly. During our latest summer night hang session, I popped…
Diving into the Weekend
TGIF! With the weekend upon us, it’s time for some rest, relaxation, and wine, of course! I took a midweek break pre-weekend to visit my fabulous mother-in-law. We always have the best time up there and during this trip, she had the perfect accessory for me – a Rosé bottle floatie. I grabbed a bottle…
Bimini Beach Wines
I feel like I need a vacation from my vacation because it didn’t last long enough. I was finally able to reflect and write my Bimini sips and tips guide, so make sure to check it out if you plan on heading there. I didn’t have much time to gather up a wine selection, since…
