It’s #TravelTuesday, and my next planned vacation isn’t until June, so I’m traveling via my glass to Sicily with this 2014 Alta Mora Feudo di Mezzo Etna Rosso. Alta Mora is a winery from the Cusumano family where grapes are grown and harvested on the slopes of the active volcano, Mt. Etna, in Sicily. The…

The Collection is Basic
I was strolling through Target the other day (really just wandering through the wine aisle) and was instantly attracted like a moth to the light by the Rosé section. It’s that time of year (as if I really need an excuse), so I wanted to see what was new on the shelves. I decided on…
Heading to Boomtown
When weeks are feeling WAY too long, you just need to take pause with pizza, self-care, and a terrible show (like Married at First Sight). Luckily, I had a bottle of Boomtown Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 to keep me company. In 2003, Wisconsin natives Chad Johnson and Corey Braunel left their corporate jobs and moved to…
Hungary for Wine
Every Since The Real Housewine spread her love of orange wine throughout Instagram last October with creating its own national holiday, I’ve been seeking out this deliciously funky treat whenever available. Unfortunately, there isn’t a huge variety of orange wine in Miami – I had such a hard time finding it to celebrate the holiday…
Hooray for Sicilian Syrah
It’s #TipsyThursday, and even though I’m still recovering from a cold, I’m thinking back on last week when I was looking fine and sipping on some wine – some 2017 Cusumano Syrah, to be exact. Cusumano Winery is spearheaded by two brothers who run the operations closely with their father, Francesco Cusumano, and craft the…
On Wednesdays, we Drink Pink
On Wednesdays, we wear (and drink) pink, so I popped open a bottle of 2017 Barton & Guestier Rosé D’Anjou. Founded in 1725 by Irishman Thomas Barton, Barton & Guestier is the oldest winehouse in Bordeaux. Barton & Guestier wines have been present in the U.S. market since 1785 and were drank by Thomas Jefferson…
Italian Vibes
With so many of my friends traveling to Italy in the next year, I had craving for the comfort of some spaghetti and meatballs (it’s not authentic, but whatevs). I had to pair the meal with a wine, so I grabbed a bottle of 2015 Cecchi Chianti Classico. Established in 1893, Cecchi (pronounced check-ee, which…
Rosé in Winter
One of my favorite things about living in Miami is the weather – especially the fact that I can shamelessly drink “Rosé all day” without batting an eye 😉 Today, I poured a glass of Olema’s 2017 Rosé. The Story of Olema from Amici Cellars | Olema Wines on Vimeo. The vision behind every Olema…
National Drink Wine Day
Is it a coincidence that it’s #NationalDrinkWineDay on #PresidentsDay? I think not 😂 Today, I’m feeling French and opening up some 2017 Vouvray from Barton & Guestier. Founded in 1725 by Irishman Thomas Barton, Barton & Guestier is the oldest winehouse in Bordeaux. Barton & Guestier wines have been present in the U.S. market since…
Italy Delivered to my Door
It may be January, but I just experienced Christmas! I received a massive delivery of Italian wine from Terlato Wines, which basically filled up my wine cooler and then some–so you’ll see me diving into an Italian series for a while 😉 The first bottle I pulled out was a 2017 Feudi di San Gregorio…
