Reposting this via @winetraveleats and hoping we can all remind ourselves to be kind, accept each other as we are, and adopt an attitude of generosity toward others. #mondaymotivation #payitforward #kindness #gratitude #life
Another wine holiday today: #InternationalRoséDay. In honor of the festivities, here’s a #Chiaretto from #Valtènesi Italy near Lake Garda. It’s a blend of #Gropello #Marzemino #Sangiovese and #Barbera. A lovely wine from @camaiol in Lugana. Perfect with a bite of spaghetti with pesto.
This #TravelTuesday I’m flashing back to a trip to Florence, Italy. On my flight from Zurich we crossed the Italian Alps and this was my view! . . . . #Alps #Italy #Travelblogger #nature #naturephotography #mountain #wanderlust
Today is #NationalProseccoDay! I’m celebrating with #SpagoNeroNV from @RiondoProsecco. Did you know that DOC Prosecco is now the best-selling sparkling wine in the US? My new post has all the details, plus some ideas for using Prosecco to make cocktails. Cheers! #RiondoProsecco #ItalianForSummer #DOCProsecco #SummerSipping #BeachBarbecue #Spumante #Frizzante #Tranquillo #Glera #Charmat #SummerRefreshment
Going to the archives for this #SundaySunset from 2007. My Pompano apartment had views both east and west, so I got two shows a day! If you look closely you’ll see a small plane getting ready to land at the local airport. #nofilterneeded #pompanobeach #floridalife #nature #sky #winelover #purplesky #redskyatnight
Table for one, please. And bring me a glass of @dracaenawines #CabernetFranc! #WIYG #PasoRobles #CabFrancDay #WineWeimies #WineWeekend #DiningIn
