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…

Life isn’t all Diamonds and Rosé…but it Should Be
If anyone knows me, they know that there is one guilty pleasure that I cannot resist – Bravo’s reality TV shows, especially the Real Housewives. One of my favorite franchises is The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills because they are just so damn fabulous. Between Erika Jane’s gaggle of gays glam squad and Lisa Vanderpump’s…
It’s all Coming up Rosés
Even though it’s always “yes way, Rosé” in Miami, my neighbors to the north are finally getting some decent weather for some spring time sipping. In celebration of spring and all things Rosé, I pulled out my most festive accouterments for the occasion and a bottle of Planeta Rosé. Sambuca di Sicilia is the estate…

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…
What a Hoot!
Since I don’t have a good wine bar or liquor store near me, I tend to get a lot of wines at Publix, my local supermarket. Lately, I’ve seen a few new wines on the shelf, including Day Owl Rosé. I was attracted to the cute, yet minimalistic, label and its description: “Day sippers, day…
Brunching for 2018
Miami has two seasons – hot and hotter – so Rosé is the best drink of choice. Every now and then, I like to mix it up with some bubbles, so I tried Pere Ventura Tresor Brut Rosé Sparkling Cava for a festive New Year’s brunch. Pere Ventura’s wine producing vocation is rooted in a…
