Date nights are looking a little different these days under quarantine. We are trying to get outside as much as possible and it’s fitting since April is Earth Month! ⁣ ⁣ Friday night I made up this board, set up our back porch, hit the music and viola we were at a winery! We sipped this @longfordestatewines Chardonnay and had ourself a little picnic. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This Chardonnay had notes of yellow apple and citrus. It was creamy and paired well with the cheese plate! ⁣Get outside, sip some wine and celebrate the little things ✨⁣ ⁣⁣ #longfordestatewines #montereywines #sustainablewines

Who needs a restaurant when you can make this?! Brunching so hard right now 👌🏼 ⁣ ⁣ Make sure you check out my stories for our Quarantine Crawl around the... house! ⁣

It’s Friday! Doesn’t mean much anymore except... I have Fun Fact Friday for ya! ⁣ ⁣ Today we are talking about Grillo! This interesting grape is from Sicily. Grillo was formally used exclusively in Marsala. Grillo typically is crisp and savory with notes of citrus and peach.⁣ ⁣ This Grillo is by @stemmariwine 💛 It has notes of tropical fruit with nice minerality. It’s pairing perfect with our cheese board! ⁣ ⁣ Have you ever had Grillo!? #StemmariWine #LiveSiclianly

It’s Wine Wednesday... isn’t that everyday now?! ⁣ ⁣ I have Part 2 of my Maryland Wine Adventure on the blog today! Check out the 🔗 in my bio. Our local @vawine and @marylandwine wineries need our support now more than ever. Keep buying wine and supporting local! ⁣ ⁣ If you still need to pick up a @mdwinepass to save, use code springsave for $20 off! Don’t forget, you can still use your pass at wineries who offer bottle discounts! 🍷

Be quirky, be odd! ✨⁣ ⁣ Who is ready for a unique blend?! @oddlottwines is an unconventional pairing of Petite Sirah & Petit Verdot that makes a delicious red blend. Who is ready to be different and be odd? Pick up this Petite & Petit at a Kroger near you! ⁣ ⁣ Can’t wait to sip this tonight and watch Tiger King 🐯 Anyone else binging this show?! ⁣ ⁣ #beodd #oddlotwines #montereywines #sustainablewines #kroger

June 10th... we are in shock over here. Charlie even needs wine! 🐱⁣ ⁣ Charlie gets to choose between White Kittendel, Moscato, Catbernet, and Pinot Meow. What would you pick? ⁣ ⁣ Don’t worry, this is just liquid cat nip, we are all just tryin to have a good time.

Today we celebrate “Open Local Wine” night! This movement was started by @the_cork_report to help support our local wineries during this time of uncertainty.⁣ ⁣ Tonight I am celebrating with @vawine from @jamesriverwine. A 2008 Petit Verdot 🍷 Check out my stories for a little bit of info about the wine and how it tastes! ⁣ ⁣ #openlocalwine #VAwine #VaWineNight #VaWineTogether

Happy Friday y’all... had to look that up because I don’t remember what day of the week it is anymore 🤷🏼‍♀️⁣ ⁣ For fun fact Friday I am sharing some @marylandwine facts with you and sharing part one of our recent @marylandwine adventure on the blog! 🔗 in bio! ⁣ 🍷 In 2000, Maryland had 10 wineries. Now in 2020, they have 100.⁣ 🍷 There are 1,000 acres of grapes grown in Maryland.⁣ 🍷 Maryland produced 201,000 cases of wine in 2019. ⁣ ⁣ Hope y’all have a great Friday! I plan on relaxing and starting OZARK! How about you?! ⁣

Coming home with this loot... Charlie is impressed!⁣ ⁣ 🍷 @gardengrovebrewing dropped their Adaptation today, a blend of PV and Tannat. 😍⁣ 🍺 @gardengrovebrewing Buy-In ~ my fav beer they make. It’s an American Pilz, light and delish.⁣ 🍺 @hardywood was awesome and was giving free six packs to industry workers 💛 huge fan of their Tangerine Suncrush, it’s a sparkling ale made with fruit and green tea.⁣ ⁣ Out supporting our local wine and beer suppliers in RVA! ❤️ #vawinetogether
