What does yogurt, lemon, water, and Coca-Cola have in common? They all land somewhere on the pH scale, just like wine 🍷 #winewednesday101 Acidity is what gives wine its tart and sour taste, and it makes your mouth tingly. Wines sit on the pH scale ranging from about 3 to 4 pH. Water is neutral at…

Wine Tips for Beginners
The industry has a bad reputation for being elitist and full of old pale stale males, but not to fear—that’s quickly changing because wine is for everyone. I started my wine blog as a platform to encourage inclusivity and growth. I wanted to document and share my wine journey for others to learn about wine…
Exploring Wine in the Finger Lakes at Camp
When you think of the best wine growing regions in America, where does your mind wander to? Some may say California or Oregon but there is way more depth to winemaking in this country—think east coast. Yes, east coast. This past month, I spent a few days in the Finger Lakes, NY and learned why…
Sipping Orange Wine in a Yellow Submarine
Everyone knows I love orange wine, so I was curious about this fun themed-labeled Dominio de Punctum 20000 Leguas. Situated in the town of Las Pedroñeras and at the north end of La Mancha in Spain, Dominio de Punctum is a family-owned company founded by three siblings. They distinguish themselves with their exclusive Estate and…
Drinking the Best Champagne with Bomb Dom PĂ©rignon
When I got my hands on this bottle of Dom PĂ©rignon Champagne 1990, I knew exactly the occasion to save it for. I planned on sharing it with my BFF Maritza for her birthday since it was her birth year wine. Unfortunately her birthday was back in December when I had a terrible stomach flu…
It’s About Time!
So this post has been a long time coming. I took the photo in January 2021, assuming that I would drink both Gut Oggau bottles (I originally drank the Weinland Weiss Theodora 2019) and post it in a relatively fast pace, but whelp, I was wrong. It was one of those things where you kind…
My Heart is in Calon
Fighting off the Monday blues by dreaming of my sips in Ireland and that fabulous wine cellar. One of the bottles I pulled out to taste was Château Calon-SĂ©gur Saint-Estèphe Grand Cru ClassĂ© 1990. Calon-SĂ©gur is one of the oldest properties in the MĂ©doc (in Bordeaux, for those not familiar)—dating back to the Middle Ages….
Sipping with my raft
RAFT [n.]: 1. A community of waterfowl, like ducks. 2. A community of friends and family, to keep you afloat. I enjoyed this wine thanks to my friend Drew, sipping on it with my bestie Maritza and my hubby. A true “raft” if I ever saw one. The definition is found on the bottle and…
Sun and All That with My Lunaria PĂ©t-nat
It’s been a busy spring thus far, so I was thrilled to spend some time on the water—my happy place. For a day of paddle boarding in Biscayne Bay, I brought Lunaria PĂ©t-nat Ramoro Pinot Grigio Spumante Biodinamico Brut Nature 2020 for the ride. About the Winery Founded in 1964 by Camillo Zulli and six…
Inauguration Day Wine Picks
These last few years have been a culmination of countless what-in-the-actual-fuck moments from the White House. It truly felt (and still feels) like we’re living in “The Truman Show” with aliens watching down us in shock and awe. A social experiment gone bad. I started writing out all the appalling things President Trump has said…
