Always have wine, always will travel. ❤️

Whenever I travel, I make sure to bring a couple of favorite wines with me! Don’t get me wrong, I love trying new, local wines wherever/whenever, but it also feels great to have a taste of home. And you never know when you’ll need that celebratory bottle of wine for a special moment 😉
NOW - onto this WINE... It’s one of my all time favs. Every sip is different from the last (Nicholas has a magic way of doing that with his wines!) - spicy, hearty, delicate.. it’s everything. Perfect in front of a fireplace, on a balcony, or on an island. And there I was, underneath our romantic table on the beach, snapping shots of the bottle.. looking totally nuts, I’m sure. 🙈🤣🤷🏼‍♀️
Trust me- if you want a truly outstanding 2012 Oregon Pinot under $80, here it is!! Nicholas hasn’t made this wine since 2012, despite my best efforts to talk him into doing it again. 😋
What wines are your favs to drink on vacay and celebratory moments?? I want to know!

Sometimes you just need a midweek staycation. ••••••••••••••
To say I had a wonderful time At the Joy would be an extreme understatement. The beauty of this place is off the charts - from the inside out. A beautiful retreat in the middle of wine country... with big windows to watch the scenic vineyard sunrise and sunsets, beautiful bungalow suites for privacy, comfortable gathering areas that make you feel at home, cozy outdoor fire pit and double fireplace in the living areas, and that big open kitchen 😍. ❤️❤️❤️ If I had to some up this place in 3 words: “elegant, picturesque, and heartwarming”

No filter needed. I mean, can it get any better than this?!
I always have such an amazing time with Nicholas . His passion and dedication truly shines through in his wines. ❤️❤️❤️

I am so excited to add this pretty little thang to my wine club for for y’all! Delicate notes of strawberry and green apple, tight bubbles, organic grapes, sustainable, hand picked.. it’s everything I love and I’m obsessed. I’m not kidding when I say this is the best sparkling I’ve had in YEARS - maybe even ever. And especially at this price point. 😍😍😍😍

I am on a Barolo kick this season and this one, especially for only $42, was absolutely amazingggg! What’s your current go to wine?

To say we enjoyed this beautiful wine by Nicolas Joly would be an understatement. The wine list at Davenport is next level amazing, so we let Kurt do his thing and pick out the wines for us. This was such a winner! Yum.

So excited to see this shoot featured by Oregon Bridal Magazine! Picking out wines for the biggest day in peoples lives has become such a fulfilling part of my business. I love helping them pick out wines that reflect their personalities, wines they will love to go back and drink years down the road, wines that will bring them back to that special moment despite the ups and downs that come with marriage... the same way a song will, rereading your vows, visiting the venue again.
So, of course I was overjoyed to be a part of this shoot. So many congrats and applause to all of the vendors who put in a ton of time and work!

This incredible styled shoot at The Sentinel Hotel in Downtown Portland took our breath away.
