My gateway white wine was New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, so I’m always happy to try wines from down under (not exactly down under, but you know what I mean). I recently grabbed a bottle of 2017 Sea Pearl Sauvignon Blanc from ABC Fine Wine & Spirits for a midweek pick-me-up. Sea Pearl Sauvignon Blanc, named…

Oyster Bay, Hey Hey
Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand is my jam, so I’m always up for trying new bottles. This week, the 2017 Oyster Bay Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc was on sale for $11.30 (as opposed to $13.30) at Publix, and it’s award-winning, so I decided to try it. The winemaker captures the vibrant fruit flavors of the wine…
Nobilo & Flamingos
When picking a Sauvignon Blanc, I usually go for ones from New Zealand – they’re always clean, refreshing, and flavorful – and this Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc definitely hits all the right notes.

The winery began back in 1974, and produced New Zealand’s very first Sauvignon Blanc. If you know anything about my wine tastes, you’ll know that I can’t resist a Sauvignon…
Pies & Pups with Kim C.
We needed a getaway, so we spent the weekend at my mother-in-law’s place in West Palm Beach. It’s like a home away from home, from the spacious backyard for my pooch to the refreshing pool for me – it feels like our second home. During this visit, we stopped by our favorite local market, Carmine’s,…
White Haven and Lobsta Dinner
My favorite thing about being a Miamian is the proximity to the ocean. I hate using the term “salt life”, but I live it (my non-mantra mantra). When I’m not at work, I’m paddle boarding in Biscayne Bay, sunning on a beach, or snorkeling in the ocean. I was born and raised as a water…
