Have you flipped open the pages of @sommjournal Feb issue? You may have noticed a (re)new contributor 👀. So happy to be filling these pages again: I had such stellar interviews and learning experiences with @davisbynumwines and @echavarrie for the Winery Spotlight and Sommelier Spotlight columns, respectively. Cheers 🥂

I entered myself into a writing competition, submitting a piece I was particularly proud of highlighting two of my favorite subjects: Regenerative Agriculture and an oft overlooked wine region. I don’t usually put myself out there but I’m happy to say I actually achieved first place in the editorial category for the San Francisco Press Club @pressclubsf

@katenash makes me very very happy indeed

I’ve been going to more concerts lately and this one was by far my fav. @katenash music has gotten me through a lot and she just continues to innovate and push boundaries and … yeah. Amazing.

This was her last stop on her tour. Stoked I got to see it.

Side note: I’ve never met another Kate Nash fan, and the room was packed with such a beautifully eclectic mix of humans. Good art spans the spectrum.

Congratulations to @mendowine and to the whole Mendocino AVA for this amazing award. It was my pleasure to help promote this under-the-radar but truly amazing wine region for Wine Enthusiast Wine Star Award Program.

Special shoutout to Elizabeth Archer for acting as spokesperson for this piece.

I want to give a special thanks to @belleandbottle for having me a guest on their new podcast that celebrates women in wine. It was a pleasure to chat about my experience growing within the wine and journalism industries. I hope some of my amusing anecdotes provide some motivation and inspiration for other folks—no matter how you identify. It was fun to share my journey thus far, and cheers to more fun to come.

It gives me great Pride 🏳️‍🌈 to share the stories of LGBTQ+ wine professionals in my hometown of Sonoma. Each of these humans has a unique story to share and their influence and impact in our industry, in our society, in our culture should be recognized and applauded.

I’m particularly proud of this piece I wrote for our @wineenthusiast April issue diving into the art and science behind (non-fortified) flor-aged wines. Super big thanks to Meredith Bell of @stateracellars, Dr. Ana Hranilovic @laffortusa Gustavo Sotelo-Miller of @scribewinery, Chad Stock of @davidhillwinery and wandering winemaker (and fellow @mastersofwine Institute of Masters of Wine student!) Andrew Rosanelli. For providing their insight into this super interesting topic. And my silent contributor @caseydicesare of @scheid_vineyards my partner in yeast wine crime!
