YOLO Weekend was awesome, confusing, and gratifying. I also have to confess that the skiing in Big Bear was phenomenal—20″ of powder will do that—and I loved skiing with the crew I was with, on the super-fun untracked wooded bowl we found off the backside of a run. Nonetheless, I might be pulling back on…
I’m not saying it’s just the rosé causing me to YOLO (and yolo again), I’m just saying it has been a contributing factor. Click here to order my exact YOLO wine: Cameron Hughes Lot 514 || 2014 Sonoma County Rosé wine. Not only is it drinkable, even when you open it un-chilled with a bic…
Friend: “How do you know all these random days?!” Me: “It’s my job?” And people send me press releases. But who cares how I know when the day in question is National Drink Wine Day?! You can stop reading here, pour yourself a glass of wine, and go on your merry way. If you want to think more…
It’s no secret I love wine. And the beach. And wine ON the beach. I mean grape juice, because there are rules against wine on the beach, silly. Anyway. You ever wanna pack wine somewhere and not have a glass bottle to deal with? Like a Vapur, but for wine? I do, kind of all the…

I’ve been exploring wine quite a bit recently (that’s not code for just getting drunk, though it could be), and trying out more of my mom’s fave Cameron Hughes (click here for $25 off your first order), perhaps encouraged by last year’s press trip to Loudoun County, VA with a total wine guru. When I…

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to attend Aspen’s latest ladies’ night craze: Wine in Heels. It’s a women-only (save for a few media men) wine and food pairing geared toward educating women about wine and food and creating networking opportunities. It works. Wine in Heels is hosted on top of the Dancing…
As someone who once wrote email marketing newsletters for a living, I like to think I am immune to sales pitches. I clearly am not. When Cameron Hughes told me that his new Lot 228 Muscato d’Asti was the ultimate summer wine, something resonated with me. I promptly ordered 3 bottles. And then drank two…
