“Everybody take a side of the sofa and relax!” God knew I couldn’t have two children of my own. Only He knew...now for a break.
Enjoying this Riesling for the second time ever but this time I’m actually taking it all in:
This is a demi-sec and I can clearly taste the pear & apple notes. The white flower is truly delicate. Paired with five spiced carrots, the flavors practically jumped off of my palate. I’m typically not a Riesling fan but I’d come back to Calamity Sue.

I don’t typically promote other wine brands because that would be daft when I have my own wines to promote. HOWEVER, I have charity wines in stock but none like this; this is exactly what should do if they want to step up to the plate. Thank you for using your access to fight against racially based inequities and to amplify Black voices through this thoughtfully created wine. The artwork is everything!

During this time each year, we typically take our big vacation. Some countries are currently accepting the selfish, entitled, non-compliant Americans, and that is exactly why we’re staying put. Balcony vacay with a bottle of sangria will have to do for this year...

My son stretched out his birthday gifts over the course of a week. He said he’d share this with me so I cracked open the and got ready! I got a nibble 😒 He decided it was super delicious and asked if I “really” wanted some. I left him alone to enjoy his last bday treat. :sigh: At least I still had my wine...
