Happy May Day! I don’t have a May Day basket, sadly, but I do have some sparkling wine, a long sunny day ahead, and a beautiful backyard to hang out in! I’ll celebrate May Day by putting a (faux) wreath of yellow flowers on my front door, and we’ll light a bonfire late tonight after Date Night #StateNight. (#SipGlocal!) Last ...

  It took me several DeLille Cellars date nights to finally get my order placed before they sold out! It is no surprise, since they partnered with A Platinum Event Catering, known for their incredible food. It was the Rosé edition of DeLille Cellars takeout event, so you know that James and I were both super excited. We are club ...

We thought  it would be fun to follow up State Night this Friday with a live virtual wine tasting late happy hour and chatting about music.

I realized yesterday that it had been a month since the “stay home, stay safe”  order was issued by Governor Jay Inslee. As the past month wore on, I certainly noticed that my wine and spirit consumption increased, my exercise routine diminished, and my patience wore thinner by the day. I am one half of a couple, outnumbered by three ...

During this difficult time as we’re all social distancing due to coronavirus, we have been attending lots of wonderful live wine-related events lately – Zoom happy hours, virtual tastings, Instagram winemaker interviews, and live music by musicians sitting alone in empty tasting rooms. It’s a great way to stay connected with our fellow bloggers, our friends, our fans and readers, ...

Now that we’re all social distancing, we really miss our friends, wine industry compatriots, and wine community. We thought it would be fun to host a Virtual Sunday Supper on Facebook Live on Sunday.

Today is Malbec World Day (the tenth anniversary of this wine celebration, as a matter of fact).
