Latest Wine Headlines: February 25–February 28

Good Saturday morning to you. As you open this, hopefully cozy in your humble abode, I am up bright and early ready to teach my WSET Level 1 class at the NVWA. I love teaching these lower-level wine education courses. They’re super fun and engaging and there’s a kind of thrill being the person who’s introducing a room full of wine newbies to what could be their next passion—personal or professional. I usually get the most interesting and insightful questions in these classes. It challenges me, keeps me on my feet, and can also be quite humbling.

Enjoy this week’s list of newsy items.

Snarky comments are all my own. ✌️🥂

For regenerative viticulture to make a meaningful impact on the wine industry, it needs to be adopted by both boutique wineries and high-volume producers—can it be done?

Latest Wine Headlines: February 18–21

Way too excited for the weekend. How is it that four-day work-weeks can actually be more stressful than a full one? Whatever. Me, I plan to wear my lazy pants and do what lazy pants do best…laze.

I highly recommend the stretchy fluffy kind as you lounge about and read some of this week’s booze news. Snarky comments are all my own. ✌️🥂

Latest Wine Headlines: February 10–14



Hello, and welcome (back) to your weekly dose of what-I’m-reading, weekly-wine-headlines extravaganza. Not an exhaustive list this week, as I literally decided to (re)start doing this, um, yesterday. 🤷‍♀️😂

What is up with me, you ask? (Or not, too bad.) Working away on more freelance stuff (yay) that I hope to be sharing soon(ish) and also chipping away and cleaning up this old-lady of a website. No major revamp in the near future, but at least get her up and running again. ie: A wee bit ‘o’ botox, not a full on facelift.

Also contemplating other fun, independent social engagement…things and stuff. I don’t know—how would you all feel about a podcast?

Just throwing it out there.

Anywho…for now please enjoy a few newsy items below. Happy weekending.

Happy Valentine's Day to those who celebrate.

Update, Things, and Stuff

Hello my friends. Been another hot minute. As most of you are by now probably aware, I am currently flying my freelance flag. 🙀

Yeah. But I’ve got a few fun updates that have happened since that time.
