Well, it certainly has been a minute since I’ve graced this page. I honestly have a good reason. From my last post up to now, my life has been full of stupid sh** like fighting the US Government (an uphill battle), working 45-50 hour weeks (sometimes more), and honestly…just figuring out where I want to […]
My Story
Coming out of hiding.
Well, real life has certainly applied since I last posted. After a crazy summer, there’s a lot to report. But I’ll start with what I’ve been drinking … 2017 Shallow Seas Rosé This stunning rosé from Real Nice Winemakers is a Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling blend. The nose is full of nectarine and wild […]

Manic Monday: Walking Away from the Fire
“Sometimes walking away has nothing to do with weakness, and everything to do with strength. We walk away not because we want others to realize out worth and value, but because we finally realize our own.” ~ Robert Tew If you haven’t noticed, I sort of abandoned the blog. This was not an intentional move, […]

Manic Monday: Wine, wine, wine…yes, it’s my job
Welcome to yet another new feature…every so often, I have a manic moment and want to post something off the wall. Sometimes, I will post something related to wine, but I can’t always make a guarantee. When I am out visiting tasting rooms, I am often asked, “What do you do for a living?” When […]

The Past, Present and Future: Looking back, then ahead
So 2015 brought me a whole lot of great wine, food and friends. It also brought some great travel opportunities to the Willamette Valley (first three posts), the Finger Lakes region of NY, and the great city of Seattle, just to name a few. In all my travels, I got to hear great people speak. […]

Taking Cues from Wine Writers: A Perspective From One Who Was At #IFBC15

New Year – New Me????
Well, 2014 is upon us and after much discretion at the end of 2013, I quit my job and decided to go back to school. *eeeeeekkkkk* It’s a daunting task…taking everything you’re comfortable with (most importantly a steady income) and taking a gamble on going back to school, but for me…this was a *good* thing.

Goals for 2013 here…
I’m not a fan of resolutions. In fact, I *hate* them with the passion of a million white-hot burning suns. So I don’t make them. Ever. What I do make, though, are goals. And I don’t necessarily set them at the beginning of the year, either. Here’s my goals thus far: – drink more awesome […]

Another year is upon us…
Okay, so we’re already a month in…sue me. So this year rolled on in like usual…me sitting at home on NYE & Ryan Seacrest and the gang at Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. I know, I know…I could be out having fun, doing whatever my heart desires on NYE, but honestly…I would rather stay […]
