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…
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…
Yes Way, Gamay
I have a confession – I’ve never had Gamay before :X My good friend @megandmerlot is a big fan, so I was excited to try a bottle of 2016 Vignobles Bulliat Moulin-à-Vent. Noël Bulliat and his son Loïc run this family estate that covers 27 hectares in eight different appellations in the heart of the…
Waits-Mast Wednesdays
It’s #WineWednesday and I’m pouring the last bottle (oh no!) of wine from my Winestyr box. Today’s pour is a 2014 Waits-Mast Pinot Noir from Wentzel Vineyard in Anderson Valley, California. Winestyr spends countless hours searching for the best small wine producers. Based in Sonoma County, California, their mission is to relentlessly curate the best…
California Cuveé
I’ve been dying to go to California, but unfortunately have not been able to make it out there recently. Luckily, my Winestyr box brought me a 2014 Calluna Vineyards Cuveé from Sonoma to sip on. Winestyr spends countless hours searching for the best small wine producers. Based in Sonoma County, California, their mission is to…
A Sip of the Kosmos
To infinity and beyond! In celebration of Global Astronomy Month, I’m popping open a bottle of Gérard Bertrand Kosmos 2014. Kosmos is the symbol of the alliance of Gérard Bertrand and his winemakers’ spirit to blend varieties from the finest terroirs in the South of France, and the influence of the planetary forces from our…
Rolling with Some Riesling
The last time I had a Riesling was probably six years ago. It was super sweet—the kind of wine that gives you a nasty hangover in the morning, but since I started this wine diary, I’ve been trying to expand my wine repertoire. I was a little apprehensive when I grabbed this Pewsey Vale Vineyard…
