Lately, life has been moving fast. Between moving, starting a new job, meeting new people, and quietly working toward a big travel goal, this little corner of the internet took a back seat. Somewhere between all these changes, writing fell off. But wine didn't. 

Okay, so if you are anything like me and your algorithm is overflowing with wine trends, then you have definitely seen the red wine and vanilla ice cream combo.

Hey Friends,

Okay, I’ve officially been dragged into The Summer I Turned Pretty craze. As you know, I’ve read the books, so my investment in this series and in Jenny Han’s mind runs deep. In my opinion the second and third seasons were both better than the second and third books so I am excited to chat about this one. With the finale dropping TODAY, I thought it would be fun to pair each character with a wine. Consider this a playful little read for my fellow TSITP fans.

Hi everyone!!

This drink accidentally originated in Spain and let’s just say, its backstory is interesting. Will I be drinking it all the time? Probably not. It’s tasty, but honestly, it feels like something best reserved for using up cheap red wine.

SJP!!

Exploring Albariño: A Bright New Sip

It’s has been absolutely stunning in Victoria lately — I know its not summer yet, but all this sunshine and blue skies means one very important thing: crisp white wine season is in full swing.

I think one of my favourite ways to recharge is to curl up with a good book and a glass of wine that fits the mood. There’s just something to be said about finding the perfect pairing—one that elevates both the story and the sip.

As a wine enthusiast, I’ve been spending a lot of time lately expanding my knowledge—and writing these post has been such a rewarding part of that journey. It’s given me the chance to dig deeper into a subject I never get tired of exploring. For today’s post, I wanted to keep things a little more personal. After all, this blog is about my journey: how I got here, and hopefully, how I’ll continue to grow.

I wanted to switch things up for this post since my birthday just passed—and yes, I hosted a wine tasting murder mystery party (so fun, highly recommend). While picking out wines for the night, I found myself going down a bit of a research rabbit hole. I wanted to understand what really contributes to a hangover.
