Who loves the Loire Valley? With more than 4,000 wineries, I’ve been trying to scratch the surface of the region. Luckily, I was invited to a fabulous Saget La Perrière lunch at Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink, so I was happy to use that for my “research.” Photo by Jordan Braun The Loire Valley wine…

Master Somm Certified-Sips at Disney Springs
One of my favorite things to do during the holiday season is head up to Orlando and visit Disney World. They have the best decorations, the weather is so crisp, and, honestly, it’s just magical place to be. To kick off the festivities, I stopped by Wine Bar George in Disney Springs for some dinner…
Fa La La La Fizz
With Hanukkah upon us and Christmas around the corner, ‘tis the season to celebrate! I’m counting it down with some Thibaut-Janisson Virginia FIZZ. I first had this wine a little over a year ago when I went to Virginia to experience a harvest dinner during Virginia Wine Month. It was the first sip of the…
Don Melchor in Miami
‘Tis the season for events, which can even be said about the wine scene in Miami.
Ribera y Rueda for the Holidays
Who is ready for the holidays!? Neither am I. I just started wrapping a few gifts, but still need to check a few people off my nice list. Luckily, I’m prepared for more online shopping and gift wrapping with Ribera y Rueda, which has been my go to wine after my tasting at Mega Wine…
Treat Yourself with WTSO
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…
