Ah, 2020, what an unexpected journey you’ve been. This summer, I was supposed to take a couple of trips, including a wine trip to Abruzzo in Italy. Luckily, I can still travel through a wine glass and hopefully go next year. I chose Italo Pietrantonj Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo rosé 2017 for the occasion. Abruzzo is located…

Starting Summer with La Fête du Rosé
It’s officially the beginning of summer (even though it’s felt like summer in Miami for a while), which means it’s time for long Rosé-filled days outdoors. To toast to the occasion, I grabbed a bottle of La Fête du Rosé 2018. Founded by Donae Burston, this Black-owned wine label is produced in collaboration with notable…
Wigging Out in Quarantine
I’m going on week five of working from home and probably week three of a pretty legitimate quarantine. I don’t know about you, but I’m starting to get a little stir crazy. I miss the weekly routine, my friends and family, my CrossFit cult community, eating at restaurants, running pointless errands, paddle boarding—the list can…
Sweaty Rosé Sips
With everything on lockdown, I’m still managing to get my crossfit in. Yes, at a home gym aka my wine-drinking deck, but it’s a decent place to get my sweat on. After a workout these days, instead of avoiding alcohol because of the calories, I treat myself with a nice glass of vino. It’s the…
Rosé with my Bebé
When summer nights are bearable, I hang in the backyard with my Bodhi Bear – the best red Doberman you’ll ever meet. We throw a ball around, I scratch her neck a bit, and she let’s me sip on some wine. We complement each other perfectly. During our latest summer night hang session, I popped…
Diving into the Weekend
TGIF! With the weekend upon us, it’s time for some rest, relaxation, and wine, of course! I took a midweek break pre-weekend to visit my fabulous mother-in-law. We always have the best time up there and during this trip, she had the perfect accessory for me – a Rosé bottle floatie. I grabbed a bottle…
#StopAndSmellTheRosé with Georges Duboeuf
Some people limit Rosé just to summertime but being from Miami and living in an endless summer, you know my mantra is Rosé all day. While it’s snowing in most of the country and my neighbors to the north are breaking out their red wine selections, I’m pausing to #StopAndSmellTheRosé with a bottle of 2018…
Endless Summer with Winestyr
Even though fall is around the corner (you know you’ve already seen Halloween merch at stores), I can’t help but keep grasping at summer. I live in Miami, where it’s oh so hot, so it’s truly an endless summer (except for that one week of “winter” in January). I take advantage, prance around in my…
Renovations & Rosé
You’re going to get an apology upfront. I’ve been a little MIA recently, but for a good reason. I purchased my first home—a charming fixer upper—and have been consumed by renovation projects left and right. Luckily, I’m finally settling in, and can focus more on wining and writing. My first bottle back to it is…
