Tasting together is always better!
Dailyish Confessional: Drinking wine is always fine, but tasting together is always better! The past few weeks have been crazy busy and I appreciate your patience as you awaited my next adventure with the utmost of patience. Seriously, I know that’s just my wishful thinking, but I do appreciate your readership and support. Maybe I […]
I fell in love in Tuscany
W.O.W. Week #4 – La Gerla Brunello di Montalcino It’s no secret I love Tuscany. The sun, the ancient cities, the food, and of course the wine! It’s not without challenge to learn all of the secrets and nuances the region has to offer, but I can sure tell you it’s worth the exploration! Sangiovese […]
¡Salud! Santé! There’s no fear in cheer!
Dailyish Confessional: Clinking wine glasses whether you say Cheers!, ¡Salud!, Cin Cin! or any other salutation should be a celebratory and fun experience! Strangely enough, it can be awkward or even result in disaster such as a chipped wine glass! How on earth can something so universal be so uncomfortable! I must confess, an awkward […]
Some adventures are just so amazing they keep uncovering new treasures!
W.O.W.! Wine of the Week #2!!! If you haven’t watched W.O.W. Week #1, please do! My wine adventure continues here! Much of the history of the wild grapes we discuss in Week #2 is revealed in last week’s episode!

Wine competitions are a sport, right?
We’ve all heard of wine competitions right? In one of my earliest Weekly Blogs, I shared a secret confession with you – I’m uber competitive, but mostly with myself! So it probably will not surprise you I’m going to compare wine to sports! What the heck, has she lost her mind? She is a true […]
To trend. Or not to trend. That is the question.
Kristi Mayfield, CMS1 / WSET2 / Wine / Education It’s a new year so what wine trend do I need to follow? I’m an unapologetic “passion-ista” of wine. I have a few (according to my husband, probably a few too many!) other obsessions as well, but since this blog is about wine, I’ll spare you the […]
Is intending to “wine” a bad thing?
Daily Confessional: I’ve made a decision. No New Year’s resolution for me this year! Nope, not going to go down that rabbit hole and find myself failing day 4 (oops, that’s tomorrow!). And definitely not a wine resolution. Instead I’m taking a new approach and am going to focus on being intentional. I’m not completely […]
Why does social media have to be so hard?!!!
Daily Confessional: I’d like to think I’m fairly savvy when it comes to technology, but I am constantly reminded by social media platforms just how far behind I am! Especially wine social media! Reels, stories, boomerangs, TikTok’s – the platforms and options go on and on forever leaving me completely deflated and clueless! I must […]
Me, a podcast guest, no way!
Daily Confessional: I must confess I am not an expert at social media and I cringe when hearing my voice on any recorded medium. But today. Today was different, today was so much fun. Today I just let it all go and enjoyed every minute. Minute of what, you ask? Today, I had the honor […]
