To can or not to can…

Okay, I’m late to the canned wine party. I admit it. So when my friend gave me this can of Babe Rosé, I thought why not. I mean it says it’s bottled by Yasss Queen (Swish Beverages). That’s a good reason to try it, right? I’m not gonna lie. I like it. Slightly sweet. Fizzy. …

The end of WA Wine Month…

Did I pick this wine because of the label? Yup. I know that’s a no no to some. It’s a pretty wine label created by Brooklyn artist Zimer. Seriously, that’s not the only reason. I also selected this wine because it’s a Cabernet Sauvignon (4% Cab Franc) from Columbia Valley and today is the last …

Saturday was a great day…

I love a casual wine tasting where you can feel comfortable asking questions and nothing is off limits. Saturday was one of those times. It started with a fun and funky wine tasting outside on the patio at Primrose with Sebastian, the chill and vibrant owner. If you follow any wine accounts on IG, you’ll …

Another perfect pairing…

When you think perfect pairings what comes to mind? Bubbles and Fried Chicken? Indian dishes and Riesling? Sushi and Sake? How about Muscadet and Oysters! (yup, I’m still drinking white wine). You may be automatically thinking Moscato, a sweet sparkling or still Italian wine. But Muscadet from France is a dry, mineral, lime-y wine made …

Boom boom into the room…

If it weren’t for Instagram, I wouldn’t know August was Washington State’s wine month. I have to be honest, I’m not that familiar with wine from Washington State. Actually drinking WA wine seems like a more enjoyable way to educate myself then simply going to Google. So I took two bottles over to a friend’s …

Still dreaming…

So after a Riesling tasting class at my favorite wine bar (Maxwell Park) in the city, we walked a half block in the rain to San Lorenzo to enjoy the Festa di San Lorenzo (a 3 course prix-fixe menu). Of course I did it a little different – I ordered two entrees instead of an …

Fabulous Rosé with a heart…

What a delicious example of Rosé from Three Sticks Wines. Bright. Juicy. Strawberries. Made with Syrah, Grenache and three different white grapes (Viognier, Grenache Blanc and Marsanne). The pictures do not do the label justice and I love the bottle shape. Maybe I’ll keep it for flowers. On a serious note, in 2017 the fires …

It’s a family affair…

I brightened up my Monday with a yummy pizza and this blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro (Mourvèdre) – what folks lovingly call GSM. This wine is from Powell & Son, located in the Barossa Valley in Australia. I love that this is a family owned winery. The father started out in economics and quickly …

Bubbles and Fried Chicken…

Friendship is something we take for granted. Not intentionally. It just happens. We just figure our friends will always be there. That’s why it’s important to reach out and make time. Even if you have to schedule it weeks in advance. Folks save Champagne for a special occasion. A Birthday. An Anniversary. Not us. On …

A balance of sweet and heat…

The quick stop at WaWa for cheap eats led me to dig in my wine stash for Pink Flow, a dry Spanish Rosé by Sota Els Angels. A thirst-quenching, natural wine with Merlot, Syrah and Carignan. Flavors of strawberry and wafts of floral notes fill my glass. I also taste a little minerality. It worked …

A contest winner…

So I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve entered a few contests on IG. You know the one where you have to follow, like and tag three of your besties? Well it actually paid off! I entered a Love Jadot (Louis Jadot) Bastille Day contest and won a Rabbit Corkscrew. Yay me! Many years ago, …

Eating noodles in the summertime…

Thank goodness for AC. It allows me to eat Ramen in the summertime. This delicious dish from Chaplins DC is made with chicken, coconut milk, lemongrass, scallions, red chili and cilantro (I added a poached egg for creaminess). A chilled glass of Cab Franc Rosé balanced out my meal quite nicely. Ask for Hillary at …
