That weekend shipment feeling. Who else gets excited when they see the mailman with a box that needs to be signed by an adult? I do, I do! Lately, I’ve been really into Wines ‘Til Sold Out (WTSO)—an online site with limited deals and steals. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Pennsauken, New Jersey, WTSO…

A Taste of Argentina with Luigi Bosca
As much as I would love to spend my time traveling the world and drinking wine, it’s not my everyday reality. Luckily, wine has a way of transporting you anywhere in the world with just one sip. This past week, I was invited to a Bodega Luigi Bosca wine tasting at The Setai, Miami Beach,…
Slovenian Sips
With National Orange Wine Day happening earlier this month, I’ve taken the liberty of drinking more skin contact wine to ring in fall (or as much “fall” as we could get down in Miami). My latest orange sipper was Movia’s Rebula Ribolla 2015. This wine comes from Slovenia—one of the most ancient winemaking cultures in…
Orange you Glad I Didn’t say Orange
This week, I had quite a few comments about orange wine after posting my “Orange wine is the new rosé” shirt. Some good and inquisitive, some VERY opinionated (overly opinionated, if you ask MY opinion). In celebration of National Orange Wine Day, I wanted to highlight a new orange wine (to me) that was delicious….
No Risk, No Reward
Life is all about calculated risks – measuring out the risk versus the reward of each and every choice we take. I calculated the risk of drinking this whole bottle of 2018 Calculated Risk Chardonnay ;p I couldn’t find much information about the history or background of this wine, except that it’s made by Austin…
Risotto and Bianco
I don’t cook often (that’s my hubby’s job) but when I do, I make it count. One of my latest specialties is seafood and mushroom risotto (I’d give you a recipe, but I kinda wing it), so I decided to whip that up while sipping on a glass of Cusumano Alta Mora 2018 Etna Bianco….
Verdejo en el Verano
Oh summer. Miami has been SO HOT lately, with a quick stroll outside feeling more like melting on the surface of the sun. I think us Floridians have amnesia about this time of year, because if we remembered it we would gtfo. Luckily, there is always white wine to cool you down, so I sipped…
Riesling and a Praying for Rain
Up until recently, it had been so hot and dry in Miami that my landscape was truly a depressing sight. But my plants were thirsty and so was I! I grabbed a 2018 A to Z Wineworks Riesling to pass the time faster while watering my plants. I tried their Pinot Gris way back, so…
Summer Like a Spaniard
With summer in the air, all I can think about is where I am going to travel to next. There are so many places to visit worldwide, but I can’t help but reminisce about that summer I visited Spain. From the sights and sounds to the food and wine, I was enamored by la patria—España….
National Pinot Grigio Day
I’m all about celebrating special occasions—from the smallest moments to major milestones—so I couldn’t wait to celebrate National Pinot Grigio Day on May 17. In anticipation of the holiday, I put together a glam picnic “how-to” with Mezzacorona Pinot Grigio as the centerpiece. Mezzacorona has been crafting Estate Grown wines since 1904. Located at…
