Latest Wine Headlines: March 23–28

My friends, this week’s list is just as much for me as it is for you. I’ve been OOO the center of the week on an amazing field trip focused on Regenerative Organic Certified viticultural practices, diving deep into what it means not just in the field, but above ground as well—from animal welfare to the human impacts and, of course, the resulting wine style and quality. Tasty bits coming your way as I work on my assignments about this super important topic that’s become a dual personal and professional passion of mine.

With that in mind, I’ve very little time to read through the news, so these are some headlines that have captured my attention that I’ll need to circle back to myself to give a deeper read through.

Thanks homies!

Latest Wine Headlines: March 1–7

Here we are, end of another week and, if you’re like me, lots of catching up to do with the news. No surprise, the leading headlines are all about the tariff conundrum. This may sound naive, but, can’t we all just get along?

You’ll also find some shameless self-promotion, some great scientific studies, and more.

Buona lettura.

Snarky comments are all my own. ✌️🥂

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. ✌️🥂

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.
