Seasonal fruits yield seasonal cocktails, of course, but I don’t see why the season has to dictate cocktail styles so much. I’m still enjoying white wine with dinner, crisp rosés that I happen to score, and frozen cocktails and sorbets, filled with pears or apples. Things you’d mostly associate…
I owe you all and myself a proper catch-up post here. That’ll have to wait, but I’ll give you a little peek into what’s been going on. So much has changed over the past three months, since we’ve transitioned from city life to farmer life. Out of all the…

📍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 🤣
