Can you guess what my favorite part about the holidays is? Did you say wine? Bingo! And of course the food, family, friends, joy, etc. but wine is definitely up there! Have you been wondering what wines to pair with your Thanksgiving dinner? I’ve got you covered! I’ve listed all of my favs below that will be gracing my holiday table this year. And if you can’t find my top picks near you, or are looking for a different price…
When people talk about visiting wine country, Napa in particular, they often clump together Napa and Sonoma and generally speak of it all as “Napa Valley.” When actually Napa and Sonoma are quite different, in many ways besides location. Sonoma County is a little bit more laid back and rustic than Napa, which is why it’s quickly becoming a favorite of many wine lovers, especially the younger generations. Lower tasting fees, unique wine making techniques and chill vibes – no…
Are you craving a unique wine tasting experience? Maybe you’ve already seen your fair share of wine caves and barrel rooms and are searching for something new and unlike a typical wine tasting. Well, bust out your Levis and boots and visit Shadybrook Estate and Napa Valley Trail Rides for a horse riding adventure through the vineyards. Riding horses through Cabernet vineyards, looking out upon the Coombsville landscape to miles and miles of more vineyards, was honestly a dream come…
{Full disclosure: Some of the products suggested in this list were provided to me at no charge.} It’s no secret that Rosé is trending right now – and has been for the last couple years. Rosé is more than just a wine now, it’s a lifestyle. A la, Rosé all day, Yes Way Rosé and all the Rosé vibes. I mean, it’s pretty obvious why it’s such a hit. It’s pink, pretty and most importantly delicious! Well, most the time.…
Are you thinking about traveling to Barcelona, Spain? Stop thinking about it and book your trip immediately! Especially if you are a food and wine lover like myself. Barcelona is a lively city full of food, wine, cocktails, nightlife, history, breathtaking views and culture. I did the hard work for you and tried out a bunch of restaurants, bars, night clubs, local attractions, dessert bars, cafes, you name it. Now I know I am leaving some great places out, but…
{Full disclosure: This experience was provided to me at no charge.} Of course I couldn’t go to Spain and not go wine tasting! A world-renowned wine growing country, Spain is full of many different wine regions. The wine region closest to Barcelona is Penedès. If you’re visiting Barcelona, wine tasting in Penedès is an absolute must! During my visit I partnered with Castle Experience Wine Tours and it was such an enjoyable and memorable experience. The type of experience I…
{Full Disclosure: This experience was provided to me at no cost} Do you love hand crafted, small-production Sonoma County Chardonnay and Pinot Noir? Are you looking for a special wine experience where you can also have the option to enjoy food at the same time? Or perhaps you’re just looking for a great winery to visit with epic views, top of the line hospitality and memorable wines? Rams Gate is your place! Rams Gate is a winery that I’ve driven…
Do you love Chardonnay? How about Pinot Noir? If you said yes to either of those, or both (I like your style) I’ve got the place for you! Head on over to Sonoma County and visit MacRostie Winery and Vineyards in Healdsburg. Keep reading to hear more about why I loved this experience! The day I visited MacRostie was also the day where we got the most rainfall we’ve had in about a year. So, it was a bit of…
Wow! Can you believe 2018 is almost over? This year has been one for the books and I definitely did my fair share of wine tasting – all in the name of research so I could share with you of course! Here are some of my favorite wineries I visited this year, and highly suggest checking out when booking your wine tasting trips in 2019. In no particular order, my favorite wine tasting experiences of 2018 were: Amizetta Tucked…
{Full disclosure: Some of the products suggested in this list were provided to me at no charge.} This shouldn’t come off as a surprise, but did you know December and January are the top months for Champagne and sparkling wine consumption? Makes sense right? Bubbles are seen as a celebratory beverage, it sparkles, it shines, it’s meant for special moments. Personally, I like to enjoy a glass of bubs year-round because life is a celebration in it’s own. Amirite? Or…
