I had the pleasure of visiting Toledo, Spain for the first time in June 2019. It was an amazing trip, and was for pure pleasure…and some wine work, of course! We spent our days eating and drinking, and one of my favorite things to enjoy was the olive oils. Many people know Italy for olive […]

Mother’s Day is just around the corner!

I have compiled a list from sparkling to white, and of […]

As a Sommelier and wine writer living in a New York apartment, I am always finding new ways to store my wine. I have a nice wine cellar with plenty of racks, but when friends come over I like to have my wine out on the table, and like it to also look nice. Recently, […]

Sometimes I get stuck “seasonally sipping” and tend to always choose reds in the winter. Partly because of my boyfriend, who enjoys red wine more than anything else, and partly because I too enjoy red wine. I don’t want to just be a seasonal drinker though, so you’ll always find a bottle of bubbly in […]

Summer is winding down but that doesn’t mean we have to switch to winter wines just yet! Keep buying the rosés, whites, and lighter reds because the sunny season is not over. Although I am not really a “seasonal drinker” I do consume more white wines and rosés in the warmer months because they’re refreshing […]

Have you tried canned wine yet? It’s easy, portable, and personal-sized, making it a summer necessity for barbeques, beach parties, and picnics. Now, with that being said, not all canned wines are created equal, and there are a lot of brands out there in the canned wine marketplace. I like to give them a try […]
