This February 14th I’m thinking about my original Valentine: my mom! She’s been gone almost a year now but I still talk to her every day. When I first moved to Florida, on my own, we chatted almost every Saturday night. She cheered me up and encouraged me to build a new life; I listened to her stories about being a special education teacher. On those evenings we made up for a lot of lost time. Happy Valentine’s Day, Mom! . . . #valentinesday #mom #myheart #love #saturdaynight #motherdaughter #bondforlife #rip #nevertoolatetostart

This is what my Sunday looks like: hanging out with the flowers on my balcony, enjoying the sunshine and visiting with an old friend. Been a few years since I delved into the magical world of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and I’m looking forward to getting reacquainted with the Buendia family. A glass of steely, lemon-lime #Riesling from @weingut_korrell in #Nahe is the perfect companion (thanks @lastbottlewines!) Delighting in this quiet, slow day. . . . #winelover #winestagram #bookstagram #magic #tropicalliving #miami #brickell #bookworm #germanwine #slowsundayclub

It’s #winewednesday and I’m making dinner for one: a frozen white pizza with stracchino and arugula (thx @wholefoods) and #fiano di avellino from #Campania. Lots of fresh citrus flavors in the glass. For me it’s a perfect @donnachiarawinery night! Have you tried the wines of Campania, Italy? What are your favorites? Donnachiara makes a variety of wines (white and red) that are widely available and reasonably priced. I bought this one at my local @totalwine but I’ve also had the pleasure of drinking them in person with @ilariapetitto the owner and director. Check out my blog for more in-depth notes on the whole portfolio! . . . #womeninwine #Italy #winelover #whitewines #pizzanight #dinnerforone #winestagram #wineblogger #dinner #docg

So happy to be back in #Miami, greeting the moon as she rises each evening. I look forward to catching the sunrise in a few hours. Keeping it simple is proving to be restorative, energizing, and balancing. What helps you stay healthy and motivated? . . . #keepitsimple #dryjanuary #selfcare #sunrisesunset #doyou #healthylifestyle #lifebalance #nature #thenextrightthing

It’s the first #ItalianFWT gathering of 2019 and we’re waxing poetic about #Sagrantino from #Umbria. Have you tried this tannic beast? This was my first taste and it won’t be my last. New post up on the blog features the 2009 Montefalco Sagrantino from @antonellisanmarco. Join our chat tomorrow 2/2 at 11 am ET to hear what the rest of the group has to say! . . . #bigwines #Italy #wineblogger #winelover #tannins #nowimpywines #winestagram #foodandwine #steak #porchetta #cassoulet

Mostly #dryjanuary is coming to a close and I was delighted to revisit this #SauvignonBlanc from #DomaineRicard in Touraine. Perfect with roast chicken and veggies. What’s your go-to comfort food and wine pairing? . . . #loirevalley #weeknightdinner #soulfood #winelover #wineblogger #wineandfood #dinnertime #healthyfood #pointdinterrogation #comfortfood #touraine
