Yo hago lo que me da la gana—like drink white wine in the winter. Last weekend, while the rest of the country was covered in snow, I enjoyed a crisp day outside in my shorts (sorry to rub it in) with Quinta de Couselo’s Turonia Albariño 2018. This wine comes from the Rías Baixas appellation…

Backyard Bordeaux
With this summer being an interesting one—to say the least—I’ve been making the most of time spent outdoors. From the backyard pool to my lush garden to the serene beach, I’ve constantly been outside soaking up every bit of normalcy and sun I can get. Last weekend, I was strutting around the yard in some…
Costco Chablis
As you all know, I am a self-proclaimed Costco disciple. From the wine section to the cheese aisle, I’m all in! During my last visit, I stopped by a different Costco and found a variety of new items including a 2016 Chablis Grand Premier Cru for $17.99. With a price tag like that, I had…
Burgundy and Sushi
I haven’t talked about Costco in a while, but I had a chance to pop over there to grab some wine (among MANY other jumbo-sized things). Glancing through the wine aisle, I looked for something I never had before, so I grabbed a bottle of 2017 Domaine de Chêne-Colombe Mâcon Villages. Mâcon-Villages wines are made…
Kirkland Does Pinot Grigio
Everyone knows I’m a Costco-aficionado, so I’m always happy to try their Kirkland-branded items—from pizza to cheese to wine. During my last trip, I came across a Rosé (check out my review here) and a Pinot Grigio, so I grabbed a bottle of each to try for you! The 2017 Kirkland Signature Friuli Pinot Grigio…
Kirkland Does Rosé
You may already know that I’m crazy about Costco—you’d think that I’m endorsed by the amount of times that I mention them (hint, hint, Costco, get on it). So I was curious to try their Kirkland brand wine offerings. I grabbed two—a Rosé and a Pinot Grigio—so I’ve got a two-part wine diary on my…
A Glass of Galilee
As you may know, one of my favorite places is Costco. It’s my affordable wine and cheese mecca. During my last trip there, I was intrigued by the label of Recanati’s Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 (I’m always attracted to shiny things). Then I noticed that this wine is from Galilee, Israel, a location I had never…
Adulting with Rosé
Adulting means bills, laundry, and grocery shopping. I cringe at most of those things, but going to Costco is actually a treat for me. From the cheese aisle to the wine section, it’s one of my happy places (that is, as long as my fellow shoppers don’t mess with me!). The last time I was…
