New restaurants are always popping up in Miami—from the traditional to the bizarre—and I’m always happy to try them. My husband isn’t into trying anything new and trendy, but luckily my best friend is and is always my trusty date for these occasions. The latest restaurant to sweep Instagram is Malibu Farm, a bright and…

My First French Sauvignon Blanc, Oui Oui
I’m always down to celebrate—holidays, milestones, promotions—so I was excited to spend this past weekend celebrating my cousin-in-law’s birthday at Hawthorne Bottle Shoppe in St. Petersburg. During the lively festivities, I sampled a variety of wine including a French little number—Domaine Trotereau Quincy 2015. It is said that Pierre Ragon of Domaine Trotereau, who has…
Hello Pomelo
Coming from the Sunshine State, where most of the United States’ oranges and grapefruits are grown, you can’t help but be partial to citrus flavors. That’s probably why I like Sauvignon Blanc so much. I usually drink Sauvignon Blancs from New Zealand, but I’m always open to trying ones from different regions. So, when I…
Oh So High
Whenever I go to The Corner, my local watering hole, I can’t help but order a bottle of wine instead of taking advantage of their $3 beer specials. Ain’t nothing wrong with $3 beer, but there’s also something chill about getting a $20 something dollar bottle of wine that you could pour at your leisure….
A Taste of South Africa
As you may have noticed from my reviews, I’m partial to New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Its crisp and zesty notes always perk me up. Naturally, varietals taste different depending on the region they’re grown in, so I didn’t know what to expect when I tried The Inquisitor Sauvignon Blanc 2017 from South Africa. From the…
Riding a Dark Horse at PAMM
I am so thankful to be employed at a fun and exciting workplace at Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM). It’s Miami’s flagship art museum, showcasing international modern and contemporary art. Not only does the museum host a variety of education programs, but it has a fun party with Poplife every third Thursday. The good thing…
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. It’s from Marlborough, which is recognized as one of the great wine-growing regions of the world. The grapes were selected from a wide…
Frenzy & Irma
This week was a frenzied blur with all of the hurricane preparations, so I thought it was appropriate to drink this 2015 Frenzy Sauvignon Blanc. 😂 With Irma’s slow arrival (and shift to the west, yay!), it’s time for some wine . My dog, at least, thought so. It’s straw yellow in color and has…
Matua & Irma
With all this waiting and anxiety, I started cracking into my hurricane prep wine reserves 😶 This 2016 Matua Sauvignon Blanc was my first victim. 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…
