Day 2 #TasteWashington so much better ! I got great wine, great food. Im not hangry leaving the venue.
Wish there was more seating in the venue ( near the exit side)
Still today was stellar. And today is why I’m a Washington wine girl. #wawine #wineislove
I wish I understood why I love Cab franc so much.
Right now it’s just hitting all the buttons, it’s tannic, but not to much, it’s rich but not overwhelming, it’s acidic but still has a balance.
Tonight’s wine Soos Creek Walla Walla 2022
It’s the damn Goldilocks. #wawine #wineislove
Other than a slight burn on my arm. Dinner tonight should be amazing. Tri tip, mashed potatoes, garlic lemon broccoli. Dessert is a peanut butter chocolate chip cheesecake.
What’s good for burns? Chilled bottles of wine! #wineislove #dinnerfor1 #homecooking
Whipped up a quick chocolate cake and some sour cream chocolate frosting.
I bake when I’m bored, or drunk. Or both.
Tonight’s wine is Darby Petit Verdot. Which they have on tap at their tasting room in west Seattle. #wawine #WestSeattle #seattle #winetogo #wineislove
I took an awesome Sunday nap. Got up, made cupcakes.
Now enjoying a white blend from Washington as I think about making dinner.
Is it the wine tasting I expected to do today, no. But it’s what I needed today. #WAWine #wineislove #whitewine
I needed this weekend so very badly. Be prepared for lots of wine pic. It’s sodo club share weekend. #WAwine #wineislove #SeattleUrbanWineries #mylifeneedsstructure
Made fresh pasta for dinner to go with chicken parmigiana.
Pairing it with Structure cellars Cab Franc and supernatural s2 e21.
It’s a perfect combo. #wineislove #pasta #spnFamily #seattleurbanwineries #drinkLocal #sammy
Tonight’s wine is much like yesterday’s. WT Vintners 2019 Syrah.
This one seems to have a lot of complexity that the 2017 didn’t show me. But I’m a newb with recognizing wine things.
I just know im enjoying this one more. It just feels “better”
#Wawine #WineisLove
Opened an slightly older wine tone for the eve of Thursday aka Christmas. WT Vintners 2017 Syrah
It’s been decanting for around an hour (while I watch SPN again)
Damn, smooth tannins, lots of dark fruits, with some bright fruit too, like cranberry.
It’s just delicious. #WaWine #wineislove
Have an industry party later, soooo I was in the neighborhood. #WAWine #wineislove #TinteCellars #SeattleUrbanWineries
Chocolate chip pancakes and gruet sauvage. Delish! And a fantastic start to solo thanksgiving 2025.

Structure cellars Viognier is like heaven in a bottle.
Man I love this wine.
#waWine #wineislove #StructureCellars #MyLifeNeedsStructure
Opened a bottle from work 2 tonight. A cab/syrah blend. From Walla Walla. Decanted for around a hour.
Went great with my air popped popcorn like the Gen X that I am!

Two day VIP Taste Washington ticket acquired!
Insert girlie squeal here.

Today is a homemade Mac and cheese and a white wine blend from Dichotomy cellars.
And my week isn’t over with a winery shift tomorrow.
Oof. #wineislove #winejob #wawine
It’s my first holiday as a paid employee in over two years.
I’ve had two glasses of wine and it’s only noon.
I like wine a lot. #WineIsLove
Just saw the moon wink at me, either she’s flirting or this pét-nat is hitting just right. Why chase clarity when the haze tastes like orchard dreams?
Pierre, probably 🍷

Glass is cute, but try hauling bottles across the ice. I’ll take cans or boxes, lighter, greener, and no corkscrew needed. Just keep it natural and don’t insult me with penguin labels. I drink wine, not gimmicks. #NaturalWine
#AltPackaging #DrinkDifferent #WineisLove
If penguins had days of the week, Sunday would be for standing still, staring at the ocean, and pretending the krill will just swim into your mouth. Maybe a splash of natural wine too, because even tuxedo birds deserve a little downtime. 🐧🍷 #PierreSundays #NaturalWine #Wineislove
Note to self: never go from a cab/Syrah blend to a primitivo.
Wow, that’s a shock to the senses.
Oof. #wine #winetasting #wawine #wineislove
Guess who had a bottle of wine and decided to bake muffins. Cherry chocolate chip.
Boredom is not my friend when I’ve got the supplies to bake treats.
#WineIsLove #DrunkCooking #muffins #WashingtonCherries #Cherry
People may wonder why i enjoy natural wine. It’s messy, wild, and full of surprises, just like molting season. I love that no two bottles are ever the same, and neither are the stories they tell. Give me funk over flawless any day. 🐧🧊 #NaturalWine #PenguinPour #UnfilteredAndProud #WineIsLove
Been off the grid doing whatever it is we Gentoo penguins do in July (mostly waddling, napping, deep existential dives). Took a little time to unplug, but now I’m back & ready to glide right back into the natural wine groove. 🍷❄️ #NaturalWine #WaddleAndWine #Wine #WineIsLove
Way out of my price point, but damn this rosé is so damn good. Flavors of blood orange and raspberry. Delish!

Ever prep some cookie dough to make a batch of cookies, then get lazy and shove the entire dough into a cake pan.
Yea, that’s where I’m at.
On the upside, more time on the couch to enjoy this 2019 Foundation cellars red mountain Cabernet.
#wawine #cabernet #wineislove #cookies
While all I have to show for it is an empty bowl, you have to believe me that the fresh pasta tortellini I made for dinner tonight was amazing.
And paired well with the Brook & Bull Red blend (the silent ode)
#wawine #wineislove #foodpairing
Tonight’s “fancy” meal is TJ’s Mac and cheese with some canned chicken and shelled edamame.
Pairing, not so successfully with the very delicious 2022 Structure Cellars Chardonnay.
Man I love Washington wine. I may have mentioned that once or twice. #wawine #mylifeneedsstructure #wineislove
“Accidental” amazing wine pairing. Made a chicken apple sausage/red bell pepper Mac and cheese yesterday and it’s pairing amazing with this Chardonnay. The balance of acidity, light oak and fruity.
Damn! So amazing! #wine #wineislove #macandcheese #winepairing
I totally opened the wrong wine tonight. This 2019 Three of Cups petite Syrah is a lot of just sitting on the couch and sipping. But I’ll make do. Cause it’s really tasty. #wawine #wineislove
