Finishing a 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Kirkland brands before I move on to some other red, Rioja perhaps, in order to calm myself (can't find my passport) and enjoy my steak. How's that for one sentence? 🤣

... Because let’s be honest it’s never really about the wine. It’s about sticking with what feels familiar because it’s safe. Because you already know you won’t regret it. Because choosing something new feels like a risk you don’t feel like managing tonight. Funny how we do this with drinks, with routines, with decisions we say we’ll change “soon.” Not because we can’t choose better but because familiar feels comfortable. Anyway. Back to my predictable order 🍷

What are everyone's favorite varietals? Red for me is Pinot Noir. White is Pinot Gris.

Here’s what people usually mean: ● Dry = not sweet ● Acid = mouth-watering ● Tannins = drying feeling on your tongue ● Body = how heavy the wine feels ● Oak = vanilla, toast, or spice That’s enough to move comfortably. You don’t need more words. You need fewer doubts.
