Top Two $10ish Wines from Hi-Time Wine Club

Hi-Time Wine Cellars has a little-known around-$10/bottle wine club, featuring two wines per month (they also have the option for an around-$25/bottle wine club too). It’s neat because it’s a low price point, you can always buy what you liked again, and they include almost a page of notes on each wine, not just tasting…

The Third Cameron Hughes Rosé

The third Cameron Hughes rosé is a Willamette Valley rosé of pinot noir (583), so I’m predisposed to love it as Willamette is a region I both love and am very familiar with … and we know how I feel about rosé in general. Secretly, this wine comes from Firesteed. On my spectrum of favorite…

PATIO | Feel Good Friday 062317 (+ more Rosé, naturally)

Vodka Taste Training

“She’s my little whiskey girl …” No, that song wasn’t written about me, but were I an actual celeb, maybe? Point is I am decidedly not a vodka person. I’ve said before that if you see me drinking a vodka soda, you know I’m trying to be drunk (that night) and skinny (in life, not…
