Bitchin’ in the Kitchen, Patty – One of my besties and a great home chef. She’s always challenging me to find wine to pair with her delicious home cooked meals.
My Partner in Vino, Kate – Another one of my ride or dies, she’s been to many a winery with me and on many a wine holiday. She’s also done some with her other friends, and is happy to write guest blogs for me (that’s a true friend!). Some of the places we’ve been together include Sonoma, Napa, Paso Robles, Mendoza, Porto, and Barcelona. We’ve also done a few wine tasting events in London together.
The Best Good Friend, Sarah – Sarah has long been a wine drinking buddy and new wine tasting companion. Some of the places we’ve ventured together include London, Cambridge, Zurich, Berlin, Paris, and Amsterdam. We have many untold adventures in California’s wine country. In fact, I met Sarah on a wine tasting trip I organized with some friend through Temecula wine country in Southern California. The Token Guy Friend, Cliff – he may not be the token gay guy friend, but we’ve been friends for decades and he’s always up for having a glass of vino and visiting a winery. Hiking Boots and Vines, Tracy – When she’s not backpacking with her sons and husband, she’s got some form of liquid enjoyment in her hand. Sometimes, she gets to combine it all. Living close to Paso Robles gives her access to some of the best wine in California. A little bit of Provence, Celine – my dear friend Celine grew up in Provence, so there is no question which region makes her favorite Rosé! We’ve been wine tasting in Provence and Washington together and I’m sure many more wine adventures are in our future! The Beeze, Ben – My ex-boyfriend and still very good friend, traveled all over with me. I dragged him to many a winery and this beer loving Brit was always willing to go wine tasting with me (as long as a pint was involved somewhere along the way). You will see him show up on a photo or a story or two. We went wine tasting in Aslace, The Loire, Cyprus, Paso Robles, Sonoma, England, Slovenia, Portugal, and several other places together.
