I’m posting this just after savoring scarfing over half of a rosemary and caramel dark chocolate bar that I picked up at Meat + Cheese in Aspen on Monday. I don’t know how it’s lasted that long. I also kinda claimed it from Steve. It was technically my birthday…
It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and that might make you either cringe or just shrug your shoulders or maybe even break out your dancing shoes. I tend to simply shrug my shoulders; the holiday could pass on by, and I’d still be happy. Meh. If some flowers or a card…
Writing this post has gotten me excited about planning our new garden this spring. I’ve missed all of the fruits, vegetables, and herbs growing just outside my backdoor. Granted, we have some amazing farms out here on the western slope, so I haven’t gone without, but there’s nothing like…
How much healthier could I be in six months, if I made self-care a priority today?
That’s the question that’s been on my mind the past several days, but before diving into that topic, I wish you all a happy 2018! I seriously can’t believe that we’re already two weeks…
Crisp apples, roasted nuts, spicy ginger, herbaceous rosemary.
Those are some of my favorite flavors of the fall and winter seasons, and they all magically meld together just perfectly, somehow. I have definitely been on a kick with creating all-cocktails-apple lately, and this particular recipe incorporates all of these components…
![Well, today was an adventure. 😛 We repaired the trellising system on ten rows in one of the Chardonnay plots [right behind me], and then we decided to take the pickup over to collect the debris. Thinking we would outsmart the mud.

Let me tell you — mud season ain’t NOTHING to mess with! We got stuck a solid seven times and almost slid over a hill. Yeah. I can say that I definitely earned these bubbles tonight! #earnyourbooze

Happy #nationaldrinkwineday EVE!! I’m celebrating tonight because we will be outside all day tomorrow, finishing up what we started today. And then adding argon to each of our fixed-capacity tanks at the winery. And then racking our SB and PG rosé.

I’m pouring out some @unionwinecompany Underwood rosé bubbles tonight and feeling pretty good about how today finished up.

📍tart Rainier cherry
📍medium-plus acidity
📍vibrant effervescence
📍the faintest hint of shortbread on the finish, accentuated with underripe strawberry notes
📍75% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay
📍11% alcohol, so very drinkable
📍$15 on the shelf and also available in a canned format

For an everyday bubbly, this is a good one. I’ll be splurging this Friday for a special occasion, but for Sunday night? This is just what we needed! #wesurvived #mudseasonishere 🤣
