Occupationally speaking, I am a sommelier and mixologist at a busy, upscale Denver restaurant. I am lucky enough to spend most days tasting, pairing, and creating, alongside my cherished guests. I am also a contributor at the Kitchn, where I write about wine and gardening, tour cooks' kitchens, and interview innovative growers and makers. When I am not wearing those shoes, you can find me in my garden, preserving, painting, designing, and documenting my experiences along the way. I'm currently learning calligraphy and trying my best at home brewing. And I am seriously obsessed with my cats. And rosé.
![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 🤣
