Ladies Who Lunch with Saget La Perrière
Who loves the Loire Valley? With more than 4,000 wineries, I’ve been trying to scratch the surface of the region. Luckily, I was invited to a fabulous Saget La Perrière lunch at Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink, so I was happy to use that for my “research.” Photo by Jordan Braun The Loire Valley wine…
Master Somm Certified-Sips at Disney Springs
One of my favorite things to do during the holiday season is head up to Orlando and visit Disney World. They have the best decorations, the weather is so crisp, and, honestly, it’s just magical place to be. To kick off the festivities, I stopped by Wine Bar George in Disney Springs for some dinner…
Rosé with my Bebé
When summer nights are bearable, I hang in the backyard with my Bodhi Bear – the best red Doberman you’ll ever meet. We throw a ball around, I scratch her neck a bit, and she let’s me sip on some wine. We complement each other perfectly. During our latest summer night hang session, I popped…
Harvest Fun with Olema
Happy #WineWednesday! Today I opened up a fabulous harvest gift package that featured Olema wines 2017 Pinot Noir. Olema, which means Coyote in Miwok, honors Sonoma County and the coast Miwok Native Americans who inhabited the area. The vision behind every Olema wine is to capture a sense of place in a bottle, all while…

Waits-Mast Wednesdays
It’s #WineWednesday and I’m pouring the last bottle (oh no!) of wine from my Winestyr box. Today’s pour is a 2014 Waits-Mast Pinot Noir from Wentzel Vineyard in Anderson Valley, California. Winestyr spends countless hours searching for the best small wine producers. Based in Sonoma County, California, their mission is to relentlessly curate the best…
Tómalo Suave
Relationships are all about compromise—what to cook for dinner, weekend plans, where to go on vacation, etc.—but one compromise I always dread is going to the ballpark. I’m always up for a football game, but when it comes to baseball, I know I’m going to be in for snoozefest. I just CANNOT get into it….
Endless Summer with Winestyr
Even though fall is around the corner (you know you’ve already seen Halloween merch at stores), I can’t help but keep grasping at summer. I live in Miami, where it’s oh so hot, so it’s truly an endless summer (except for that one week of “winter” in January). I take advantage, prance around in my…
Horsing Around
I’m horsing around on a Tuesday with this 2015 Wild Horse Pinot Noir Central Coast. Located in historic Templeton, Wild Horse Winery was named for the wild mustangs that roamed the hills east of the vineyard estate. Founder Ken Volk selected the Templeton vineyard and winery location in 1981 for its low vigor soils, proven…
