Hello!!

I’m Jayme, a sommelier-turned-farmer, and I live in a small town out on Colorado’s Western Slope. My fiancé and I own and work on a vineyard together, where we make high-elevation white wine and rosé, under our label, The Storm Cellar. I share my cocktail explorations, travel stories, vineyard life, and wine musings at holly & flora.
