Who doesn’t love a good wine and fish pairing? I know I do (even though I won’t be eating this barracuda). I went fishing the last time I was in Bimini, which got me thinking about all the types of wine with fish pairings out there. One solid rule is to pair wines based off…

Importance of Roe and Reproductive Rights with a Side of Wine
Given the overturning of Roe, it was imperative to speak out and provide accurate, reliable, and clear information on the latest Pouring Over Pages Podcast episode about reproductive rights and abortion rights. Dr. Willie Parker’s (@drwillieparker) “Life’s Work: A Moral Argument for Choice” is the perfect book to achieve this. Book Overview In “Life’s Work”…
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…
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…
Everything Happens for a Riesling with Brand Winery
Years ago, I used to be one of those people who thought all Riesling was sweet. Boy, was I glad to be wrong. Over the years, I’ve tried many styles of Rieslings from different regions.

I recently grabbed this Raft Wines JONQUILLE Love Ranch Viognier 2020 for a day by the pool. As you guys may remember, I drank their Fleur…
Revisiting My First Orange Wine
Have you ever tasted a wine that changed your perspective? That gave you an “ah-ha” moment? I think everyone has some sort of story like that and mine starts with The Scholium Project The Prince In His Caves Sauvignon Blanc 2010. In 2015, Sean and I were celebrating an anniversary with a staycation at the…
Garden Grüner
If you guys know me, you know I love a good outdoor space. Give me lush landscape, flowing flower gardens, and bountiful vegetable gardens. Some of my favorite times are when I drink wine al fresco on my deck. For one of the latest sipping sessions, I grabbed a bottle of Christina Grüner Veltliner 2020….
Finger Lakes Wine on my Mind
I’ve got Finger Lakes wine on my mind all the time thanks to my northeast friends, like Adrian, Meg, and Nicole. Shit, Katie even ventured out there recently. About the Finger Lakes The Finger Lakes (FLX) are located in the heart of New York State, about a four-hour drive northwest of New York City. There…
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…
