Ah, 2020, what an unexpected journey you’ve been. This summer, I was supposed to take a couple of trips, including a wine trip to Abruzzo in Italy. Luckily, I can still travel through a wine glass and hopefully go next year. I chose Italo Pietrantonj Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo rosé 2017 for the occasion. Abruzzo is located…

Wigging Out in Quarantine
I’m going on week five of working from home and probably week three of a pretty legitimate quarantine. I don’t know about you, but I’m starting to get a little stir crazy. I miss the weekly routine, my friends and family, my CrossFit cult community, eating at restaurants, running pointless errands, paddle boarding—the list can…
Sweaty Rosé Sips
With everything on lockdown, I’m still managing to get my crossfit in. Yes, at a home gym aka my wine-drinking deck, but it’s a decent place to get my sweat on. After a workout these days, instead of avoiding alcohol because of the calories, I treat myself with a nice glass of vino. It’s the…
Everything’s Coming up Rosés
With daylight savings here—one of my least favorite times of the year—I figured I would look on the bright side and use that extra hour to work on my yard. If you didn’t already know, I’m really into plants. Landscaping is so therapeutic and rewarding, it’s truly one of the ways I unwind when things…
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…
Diving into the Weekend
TGIF! With the weekend upon us, it’s time for some rest, relaxation, and wine, of course! I took a midweek break pre-weekend to visit my fabulous mother-in-law. We always have the best time up there and during this trip, she had the perfect accessory for me – a Rosé bottle floatie. I grabbed a bottle…
Bimini Beach Wines
I feel like I need a vacation from my vacation because it didn’t last long enough. I was finally able to reflect and write my Bimini sips and tips guide, so make sure to check it out if you plan on heading there. I didn’t have much time to gather up a wine selection, since…
A Secret Garden with Rosé
You know that I’m about that Rosé all day attitude, so I couldn’t help but pass up the opportunity to visit La Centrale’s seasonal Rosé garden. Inspired by the Isle of Capri’s oceanfront cliff side gardens, their pop-up Rosé garden is tucked on the second floor and draped with blossoming bougainvillea flowers. I stopped by…
Summer Splashes and Sips
Summer has come way too early in Miami and humidity is at an all-time high! That, mixed with catchy ads, provoked me to buy Target’s inflatable kiddie pool. When I opened the box and saw the fun print, I knew exactly which wine I was going to enjoy in there – Barton & Guestier’s 2018…
