This past Monday I attended the first #VinoSummit here in #Miami. My first session was a tasting of #Champagne from @charlesheidsieckchampagne including a 1995 #BlancdesMillenaires. Details are in my latest post; two more posts to come. It was a fantastic event, thanks to @floridawineacademy and @aleesteves7 for putting together such a first-class event! . . . #vintagechampagne #blancdeblancs #champagnecharlie #sparklingwine #wineeducation #winegeek #chardonnay #pinotnoir #meunier #knockyoursocksoff #wineblogger #bubbles #MiamiLife #BiltmoreHotel

I don’t usually drink coffee. That said, some days require the boost of caffeine only a mid-afternoon espresso can offer. Served in my grandmother’s china cup, it’s also a much-needed hug on a difficult day. Take the small pleasures where you find them and enjoy. Tomorrow is another day! . . . #simplethings #gratitude #thistooshallpass #silverlining #coffee #wedgwood #grandmotherslove #firstthingsfirst

Tough day for us wine students today, roughing it at the Biltmore Miami at #VinoSummit! I finally got to meet Lisa Airey of @winescholarguild and a few other #wine friends. #winescholar at work

#Champagne - it’s what’s for breakfast. Well it is if you’re attending the first #VinoSummit in Miami! Started the day with seven wines from @charlesheidsieckchampagne including a #cuveedesmillenaires from 1995. I could get used to this! What are the rest of you sipping this morning? . . . #winestudent #winelover #champagnelife #sparklingwine #wheresthecoffee #floridalife #biltmorehotel #winterinmiami #bubbles #doihavetospit #wine

Gabe and I ventured out for dinner the other night and enjoyed our meal at @edgemiami a Latin-inspired steakhouse in the @fsmiami. Our favorite part? The American Bean to Bar Chocolate, a taste of four artisanal chocolates sourced from Brazil, Venezuela, Guatemala, and Ecuador, but made here in the U.S. Accompanied by roasted hazelnuts, Fleur de Sel, raisins, and candied orange peel. You could really taste the differences among them! . . . #foodporn #dessert #fourseasonsmiami #latinflavor #datenight #chocoholic #brickell #miami #floridalife #winelover #foodie #eatdessertfirst
