Wine Country is never one to pass up on a celebration! Since the organization first began throwing parties in Napa Valley, the V Foundation has raised millions of dollars by raising a glass and raising an auction paddle in the fight against cancer. That’s right - wine + giving back. A perfect pairing.

If you have experienced the losses and heartache that cancer can bring, you’ve probably felt like joining the fight. The fight to find a cure. Now in its 25th year in Napa - the V Foundation Wine Celebration is looking to Go Big or Go Home.

With Coach “K” leading the way and hosting the weekend of events - it is guaranteed to be big and full of the fabulous style antics that only he can bring. His mission is focused: fund game-changing research to accelerate Victory Over Cancer®. If anyone was perfectly placed to win the big game - it would be Mike “Coach K” Krzyzewski, Former Duke Head Coach Men's Basketball.

Joining him on the Wine Celebration Team this year are Famed Restaurateurs & Award-Winning Chefs - Superstar Musicians and Performers - World-Class Vintners - Grant Honorees and Rockstar Auctioneer John Curley. A three day weekend packed with adventures and experiences in food and wine. It is looking to be a huge success again in 2023!

Planning future shenanigans with amazing friends like Bettina. LIVE music, International trips, Dinner parties & Lots of wine tasting visits coming up in 2022 as the world gets vaccinated and we start moving forward together. I couldn't be more excited!

It makes no sense to get frustrated at not being able to travel now, expectation feeds frustration. Focus on the outcome, not the obstacles!! Instead of disappointment, use this time to focus on planning for the future. A trip well planned is a trip… more enjoyed. Do research on places you want to visit. Live vicariously until then through your wine glass.

BONUS: Many places that normally would be fully booked out months in advance are not packed with reservations right now with many of them offering discounts that would never be a thing in a normal travel year. Take advantage of these deals, book the hotel, adventure, restaurant, concert and plan to do ALL the things in 2022 in anticipation of a future after covid. Let’s raise a glass and celebrate togetherness. CHEERS

Eat the Rainbow. All the more important to stay healthy in these times. Do YOU know why you should eat a variety of colors?!

The color of your food can tell you a lot about its nutritional value, and eating a variety of colors is one sure method to get as many of those vitamins and minerals as possible. Each color group of vegetables / fruits offer different health benefits.

Plus, it makes for a pretty plate.

Did you know?! Sip On This Juice originally referenced actual juice... not wine. Although I have always loved wine and worked in the industry for many years, my business name actually spoke to my obsession over cold pressed juice and juice cleanses. DRINK THE RAINBOW 🌈

It’s not just great fruit that makes great wine, it’s the care & attention of every hand that touches it. Evocative Wines, Elevated Vineyards. in the heart of Yountville, Napa Valley is a delectable new discovery of mine.

From Stags Leap, to Howell Mountain, to the Carneros region... taste through small lot vineyards in Napa Valley.

A Handwritten Tasting features wines poured in side-by-side comparative format with a focus on elevated fruit from Napa hillsides and the mountain District. Most of these small batch bottles are sourced from 2-acre blocks.

I love Yountville & spending an afternoon enjoying all that this mecca of epicurious delights, luxury shopping & unique art has to offer!! Tastings at Handwritten often feature goodies like white truffle potato chips, local artisan breads and butters, delicately sliced Jàmon, or a floret of P’tite Basque cheese. Yes, please

These bottles are quite beautiful as well. Perfect for a romantic evening or gift giving. Or as a lovely addition to your cellar. Visit soon, thank me later. CHEERS 🍷

Social gatherings add a new dimension to the way we understand each other. Already planning for big things, parties & shenanigans in 2022!!

Use the time off during these covid days to plan get togethers, revamp your yard or house & prepare to once again be social. It is a great time for projects and planning.

And for now, stay home, wear a mask, be safe.

Embrace the things you love during Covid, Bring the winery to you if you can't visit right now. So many options to support the wine brands you love. If a virtual tasting isn't your thing, no worries... buy a bottle and enjoy a picnic outdoors.

Friend having a birthday? ... buy them a bottle (or two)... or

Perhaps it is your parents anniversary? How about as a gift, purchasing a wine club membership for the happy couple... Wine delivered right to their door in a safe, social distancing way... or

Vineyards are outdoors! Many are located right next to the winery. Take a leisurely stroll through the vineyard, the gardens, the well manicured property... and don't forget to pick up a pre-ordered bottle (or a case) when you're done enjoying the scenery... to take home and enjoy with dinner.

Many wineries are offering virtual tours of the facility, or a comedy show, or an educational seminar, or a food prep class, or an art walk... you get the point. Supporting local wineries you love can be more than just a computer based tasting.

And don't forget to post about your favorite winery online, spread the word and the support of brands you love and wines that have been good to you. Drink well & drink local.

THE BEST PLACE TO DRINK WINE IS...

What is it that makes a wine country destination so special? The WINE, of course, but there is so much more to visiting a winery than just what's in the glass. Grape growing regions can be found across the globe and each one provides a unique experience for travelers.
