Happy FRIDAY! You know what that means, fun fact Friday! Today I am diving into my favorite white grape, Sauvignon Blanc.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Sauvignon Blanc originated in France, you might see Sancerre in the store. Sancerre is a wine region in France that produces Sauv Blanc.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ In cooler climates, Sauv Blanc is produced with outstanding acidity along with green flavors like green pepper, grass, and tropical fruit. In warmer climates, Sauv Blanc will develop more tropical fruit notes as well as citrus notes like grapefruit. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Hope you have a fabulous Friday sipping on some Sauvignon Blanc! What’s your favorite white varietal?!

Happy #WineWednesday! 🍷 ⁣ ⁣ Comin atcha with a new blog post all about the wineries we hit up on our way to and from PA! I loved all the wineries we visited, especially @chateauobrien_winery and @delaplanecellars 🍷 check out this post to see where you should visit next! Link in bio!

Who has the Monday blues?! This girl 🙋🏼‍♀️⁣ ⁣ Wishing I was back at @uppershirley sipping some Sauv Blanc and eating this delish spread. I have an insane week so I am praying I make it to Friday. I have such a fun weekend planned, my besties sprinkle and a weekend trip to @loudounwine 🍷✨ I can make it! Do you have anything fun planned this weekend?!

Spent the afternoon sippin around RVA 🍷 ⁣ ⁣ Started the day at @brunchrva followed by a stroll through Carytown. We finally stopped at @gardengrovebrewing to try their wine. I sipped on their Cab Franc, it was delish! Hope you had a great Saturday, what were you up to?!

It’s Friday! Y’all know what that means... Fun Fact Friday! Today we are talkin podcasts! 🎧⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Podcasts are my JAM! I LOVE them. Since I have a 35 minute commute to and from work they are perfect for the drive. ⁣⁣ 1. @binge_mode Mal and Jason are my two bffs. They have deep dived into HP and GOT... currently Star Wars (not my thing) ⁣⁣ 2. @winefornormalpeople Elizabeth Schneider is a wealth of knowledge and I have learned so much about wine from this pod.⁣⁣ 3. Happier with @gretchenrubin and Happier in Hollywood. I love the concrete advice and takeaways I get from this show. I love these ladies. ⁣⁣ 4. @goaldiggerpodcast with Jenna Kutcher. Since I am trying to grow a business I love the advice from Jena! She is amazing. ⁣⁣ 5. Rise with @msrachelhollis I mean it’s Rachel Hollis, definition of Girl Power. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Hope you found out about a new pod to listen to! My DREAM is to have a podcast. So much to think about 😉 Tell me your favorites! Always need more!⁣

I am so thankful my husband cooks... If it weren’t for him, I’d be mostly on a liquid diet 🍷⁣ ⁣ Zach was inspired by my friend @thetipsybite! She is always coming up with amazing recipes so we (more like he) made her Basil Pesto and Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken. It was delish! We paired the meal with @whitehallvineyards Cab Franc 🍷

They call it a snow day, I call it a wine day ❄️🍷⁣ ⁣ Happy #WineWednesday 🍷

Let it snow ❄️ Enjoying my mini snow day reminiscing about our recent trip to @barreloakwinery 🍷⁣ ⁣ On our way to PA we always pass Barrel Oak, this year we finally stopped! They have a beautiful tasting room with an awesome outdoor area. We enjoyed a glass of Merlot while we walked around and enjoyed the view! ⁣ ⁣ Barrel Oak is known for being super dog friendly. There were a lot of four legged friends around so this is definitely a spot to visit with your pup 🐶

It’s only Sunday but my mind is already on Friday! 🤷🏼‍♀️⁣ ⁣ This past Friday we visited @caboosemarket in Ashland. We have been a few times in the past but loved our recent experience. To start, they have a free wine tasting from 5-7:30 in their market on Fridays. If you plan on dining, their market is their wine list so you can pick a bottle to take back to their dining area. Their corkage fee is only $5.00 and on Saturdays their corkage fee is free! Their food is super fresh as well as affordable. I love how they offer fun specials everyday, our favorite is their Wednesday night date night. It’s only $40 and you get a bottle of wine, an app, 2 meals and a dessert to share! Might be our new Wednesday tradition... ⁣
