A Tasty Detour…

On Thursday I took a quick detour into DC that led me to Cane on H Street. Cane is a family-owned business run by Chef Peter Prime and Jeanine Prime (a brother and sister duo). It’s based on popular street foods in Trinidad & Tobago. I almost ordered the entire menu! After I calmed down, …

An Absolute Happy Place…

Hey, don’t mind my heavy pour of Bodkin Sparkling Rosé. It’s dry, medium acidity and strawberries. These Bubbles deserve a pour like this. Made with 55% Zinfandel, 35% Syrah, 3% Albariño, 3% Chenin Blanc and 4% Sauvignon Blanc. Seriously, this is a cool grape combo. I definitely need more. I paired these Bubbles with a …

Quick, bring me a glass…

This will be my first time trying Bodkin Wines. Bodkin was founded in 2011 by Winemaker Chris Christensen (with that name you must do something cool, right?). This winery may be small but it’s mighty! Chris is the creator of the FIRST American Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc. Now ain’t that America! I am super excited to …

Beyond, burgers…

Welp. I’m finally getting the hang of my Air Fryer (thanks Mom. thanks @vinemeup for posting about yours so often!). So yesterday, I decided to make some Beyond Burgers for lunch. (Beyond Burgers are plant-based, it’s good for Vegetarians and Vegans.) I’m not a Vegetarian so why Beyond Burgers? Eh, I wanted to try something …

Rosé with a purpose…

It’s Rosé season ya’ll. Just kidding, I drink it all year around. La Fête du Rosé is made from 80% Grenache, 14% Mourvèdre and 6% Syrah (GSM baby!). This pretty bottle will not only make a great gift but it will be the perfect accompaniment to all your fresh, summer bites. (Or if you’re like …

Stranger Things…VA Wine edition

As a lover of VA wine, it was pretty cool to assist and sit in on the SommCon session Stranger Things: New + Experimental Wines of Virginia session. This session shows that there are a wide variety of delicious and fun wines for folks to try that are unfamiliar with VA wines. King Family Vineyards …

Teamwork and winemaking…

The beautiful property of Reeve Wines, owned by a dynamic husband and wife team (Noah and Kelly Dorrance), is a small production winery/farm. (I love that they have goats and chickens roaming around together!) Even though Noah is in charge of winemaking and production, they have a lot of support from all-star winemakers (check out …

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. …

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 …

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 …

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 …
