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.

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…

Spanish Bubbles for NYE

Luckily, as I…
Cheers to KO – A Knock Out Colleague
You know me as an amateur wino, but my day job consists of managing the communications and marketing efforts at a premier Miami art museum (Pérez Art Museum Miami to be exact, PAMM for short). This week, a member of our “PAMMily”, Katherine O., is saying goodbye to this chapter in her life and is…
