To start off this festive week, I snagged a fun, patriotic wine to enjoy: Charles & Charles 2014 Rosé. The bright pink color and tribute to the American flag caught my eye on the store shelf.
In my last post, I told you about my latest adventure in wine country as a family. On sunny Sunday afternoons wine country seems to call my name; however, it’s not always easy traveling with the kiddos. Here are a couple of things to think about before taking the kids along wine tasting. (I also…
This laid back, quiet spot nestled in valley was an ideal spot to spend a Sunday afternoon with my young family.
Well balanced and layered, the wine matched me toe to toe after a stressful day at work.
From first sip, I knew I had tasted something special. Refreshing different, this wine plays on the palate with balanced fruit and earth to the tune of a rich, not-to-be-forgotten Pinot Noir.
To get the crafting season underway, here are a few of my favorite wine themed crafts that will light up your next party!
In the big city and can’t make it out to wine country? No worries you can still get your wine on in Portland this fall. Try one, or all five, of these tasting rooms and sip away while the last leaves fall and the rain soaks the street. Portland Pairings Not sure what to have with…

Pink is quickly becoming my new favorite color. Blame it on the heat or my red-wine rich winter diet, but I’ve been on one hell of a Rose kick lately. But this wine gal is not complaining. With so many delicious (and often bone-dry) Roses, it’s hard not to keep filling my glass with 5…
I don’t know about you, but some days I just need a cold, crisp glass of white wine. And with this past week of 80+ degree weather in the northwest, I pulled two bottles of wine out of my wine frig from Marlborough, New Zealand – a region that knows heat and how to cool…
Light, refreshing and endlessly sippable. Warm weather welcomes a blush to the cheeks and pink wine for the glass, so pour a rose and savor the start of summer. For my first glass of the season, I popped open this bottle from Stoller Family Estate, which I acquired at a wine club event last…
