Cork Copilot Wine doesn’t need to be intimidating— let me help you demystify the wine aisle!

Have you ever told yourself that you’re “just going to casually browse” the Cheese & Libation Expo, only to suddenly find that you’re emotionally attached to three cheeses, two drinks, and a stranger’s focaccia recipe? No? Just me? Cool,cool.
🧀🥂🧀
Liberty Station was absolutely packed with incredible pairings, fun pours, happy chaos, and the kind of foodie energy that makes you say things like:
“Wait, I think this cheese just changed my life.”
🤩
Pro tip from the day: sparkling and high-acid beverages work so well with rich cheeses because they refresh your palate between bites. It’s science. Delicious science that means you can responsibly eat more cheese. Probably.

If loving good wine and basic human rights is wrong… pour me another, because I don’t want to be right.

I’ve officially made it: I have my own action figure.
🍷🏆✈️
I unwrapped this little surprise on Christmas morning thanks to Mr. Cork Copilot, and will be bragging about this, well, forever! This tiny version of me is here to set the tone for 2026 with my wine in hand, flight log wide open, and big plans cleared for takeoff.

If you’re new here, this is your boarding call. I’m all about making wine less intimidating and way more approachable and FUN! Whether we’re tasting, traveling, or just pouring something delicious on a random Tuesday, you can count on me to be your copilot for any wine adventures.

So, buckle up—2026 is shaping up to be full of lots of excitement. Where should we fly, and, more importantly, what shall we pour first?!

Tonight’s mission: appreciate those hidden gem wines (such as this hard-to-find, chillable Basque red) and relish the quiet moments before the holiday schedule goes full throttle.
🍷 ✈️ 🦃
This Txakoli (say it with me: cha-ko-lee) is an underdog hero of the wine world — bright, acidic, slightly wild, and perfect under string lights on a November night, if I may say so myself.

So, before we hit turbulence and are forced to turn on the seat belt sign: what’s your Thanksgiving wine strategy? If the answer is “whatever’s on sale,” please notify the Cork Cockpit— I’m ready with a mission plan to get you through any holiday beverage crisis.

This spritz is my summer obsession in a can:
🍊 Something citrusy
🍊 Something bitter
🍊 Something that doesn’t require me to change out of my loungewear

This Angeleno Spritz is a fizzy little number made with grapefruit and amaro that tastes like golden hour in a can. It’s refreshing, lightly herbal, and dangerously crushable. Oh, and did I mention I pick these up when I do my Trader Joe’s shopping? So convenient!

Today, I’m pairing mine with a some fun vinyl and a cozy book.

What are you sipping on today?

She studied hard, she sipped harder.
📚📑💪🏻🍾🥂
Survived the marathon that is WSET Level 3, and now I’m back to the important part: drinking Champagne just because.

Some people celebrate passing exams… I’m out here celebrating taking them. The test was a beast, the most difficult thing I’ve done so far in my wine education journey, so I’m celebrating like any responsible wine student would— with bubbles that are the textbook definition of delicious: Henriot Brut Blanc de Blancs! Bright acidity, elegant creamy texture, and that signature toasty finish that says, “You earned this”!

The exam results? Well, those will be floating around someone’s inbox for the next 8–10 weeks until I find out. But tonight, I’m not waiting for permission to celebrate. I showed up, did the work, and studied my face off. It’s time to trade flashcards, textbooks, and tasting grids for pours of the good stuff!

Cheers to the hustle, the bubbles, and to whoever’s grading my exam—be kind, please.
💪🏻 🍾 🥂 🙏🏼

Pi might be an irrational number, but my love for wine is a constant.
🥧
Wine and engineering: two things that require precision, patience, and a deep appreciation for complexity. Pi reminds us that some things never end—like my curiosity for both! Now, if only my pours were as infinite as 3.141592653… but, I guess that’s what more bottles are for!

Cheers to a day where math meets merlot— a day when nerds, like me, can celebrate an irrational Pi Day with a perfectly rational pour.

Looking for the perfect bottle to celebrate with tonight? May I recommend checking out who feature this beautiful red (100% old-vine Concejón) or a white (100% White Granacha) that celebrate Pi in all its infinite glory!

They say it’s the little things that make a house a home, and mornings like this are proof.
☕️🏡💙
Coffee in hand, feet up, and this mug reminding me that breakfast wine is truly a mindset. Now that the house remodel is finished, I love curling up in my favorite spot with a comforting mug to ease into the day. My love for coffee may rival my love for wine, but let’s just say the wine glass is always on standby. For now, it’s all about caffeine, cozy vibes, and savoring the moment. Same girl, different beverage—and always in her happy place.
