Tips for stress-free entertaining. I had a Girls’ Night In and threw a Wine and Cheese Ornament Exchange party! On a weeknight, no less. Easy and fun!
The first stop for my holiday shopping? Uncommon Goods. (Is it wrong that I got myself a gift?)
You guys know that I like wine, right? I might have mentioned that a time or two five. I even managed to use all the wine…. even the corks and the bottles. If I were a hunter, you could say that nothing goes to waste… I have a lot of friends who love wine […]
What does it mean when wine is corked? (How to tell a bad bottle.)
Corked wine…? Doesn’t wine normally come with a cork? Whaaaat? Is this when the wine has little bits of cork floating in it…? No. When you hear the term “the wine is corked” it is referring to wine that has been contaminated with cork taint. Last week I shared my favorite wine gadgets and tools, […]
My essential wine tools (And the comment from a 10 year old that got this started.)
It’s no secret that I love a good glass of wine or three. Pouring myself a glass of wine in the evening signals that it is time to wrap up my work day and it’s time to relax. So the other day I opened a bottle of wine, and had the following conversation with Grant: Grant: “Mom, […]

Handsome Hubby and I are taking a little trip up to wine country tomorrow. If you have read my blog for any length of time, (or if you follow me on Instagram) you know I love a good glass of wine. We are headed up to Napa for two days, and then will finish up […]
MommyJuice Wine: A fun name… serious wine.
Wine. I love it. Virginia Madsen’s monologue about wine in Sideways? Yep. It’s how I feel about wine. It’s important. It helps me unwind at the end of the day, I enjoy learning more about it and trying different varieties. So when I was offered the opportunity to try wines from MommyJuice, I couldn’t say “yes” fast enough! […]
Great wines for your Halloween Party. (Based solely on their labels…)
Yesterday I showed you some spooky looking potions that you should NOT drink. Today I wanted to share the spooky looking potions that I found in the wine section that you CAN drink. Let me make it very clear that I have not tried any of these wines…. I am totally judging proverbial books by […]
Keep your wine the perfect temperature. (Frozen grapes make great ice cubes.)
I might have mentioned previously that I enjoy wine. Very much. I don’t consider myself a wine snob, but it is important to me that wines are served in their appropriate glasses and at the proper temperature. My mom is an ice cube abuser. She wants her drinks cold, even if it means she is diluting […]
