frogs leap, la grenoulle rougante

I have a bit of a love affair with Frogs Leap. If you haven’t yet, read their story! I don’t think you can ever go wrong with one of their bottles; red, white, pink, who cares! It’s delicious. We went to Home Saturday night for dinner and sat in their wine cellar. Finally, post a long-winded…

rodney strong, charlotte’s home

I’m home for the week and am spending my time with my best friend. She as well is an avid wine drinker and planned the best day… wine + burritos on the beach. She let me pick the wine and man was I wrong. Caution, this wine with burritos DOES NOT pair well. wine name: rodney…

molino a vento, pinot grigio

Last night my work wife and I went out for our weekly window watching date night. We walk across the street from the office to coco & cru where we sit in the window, order happy hour wine, and people watch. I typically go for their Montepulciano; however, last night I tried their pinot grigio and…

j.lohr pinot noir

Tonight was simple. I got home, did a little work, sat on my bed and drank a glass of wine. J.lohr was one of the first tasting rooms I ever went to in San Jose, CA, so I have a soft spot in my heart for it. I also have a love for Pinot Noir,…

three brooms sauvignon blanc

On a warm summer day, sometimes all I want is a light and crisp white wine. I’m always perusing the organic shelf at my local wine shop. Lately I haven’t seen much that catches my eye; however, yesterday this bottle did the trick. It’s very easy to drink. It’s simple, flavourful but light, and tropical. It’s…

brooklyn wine fest

Yesterday was the eventful Brooklyn Wine Fest and man was it a good time. It’s not easy to get to Greenpoint from the UES, but it was definitely worth it. From the Q, to the L, to a mile walk later, my pal Jen and I met up at the Brooklyn Expo Center. We got…

summer in a bottle

Today is the first beautiful day we’ve had in New York in 2018 and I’m not gonna lie, I NEEDED pink wine! What better way to celebrate than with a bottle of rosè? First of all the bottle is absolutely beautiful (and has a great bulb), but secondly it has a lovely, refreshing taste.  This is…
