I had the dreamiest Summer Vineyard Picnic at San Martiño Winery with my friends Matt and Sarah last weekend! San Martiño in Rockwall, Texas has live jazz music on the weekends and tons of covered outdoor seating. Picnicking is encouraged (yay!) so I packed up some of my summer favorites inspired by goodies I picked…

Beachy Dinner in the Garden
It was an absolutely perfect spring day yesterday and I wanted to pretend like I was having dinner at my fabulous seaside cottage so I invited my mom over for a beachy dinner in the garden! I recently rearranged my backyard and was delighted to set the table in its new location for the first…
Blessing of the Vines
I just got back from a quick trip to the beautiful Texas hill country for Kuhlman Cellars’ Blessing of the Vines event: a spring celebration to welcome the season. There was live music (a fabulous singer and guitarist performing some of my favorite songs!), adorable pups hanging out on the patio (the vineyard is dog…
Spring Tasting at Kuhlman Cellars
Springtime at Kuhlman Cellars is a sight for sore eyes. I drove to the Texas Hill Country today for Kuhlman Cellars’ Blessing of the Vines spring celebration event (more on that later) and was shocked to see how awake the vines and wildflowers already are. After enjoying the grounds and snapping some picks, I finally…
Estate White on the Water
I’m finally back at the lake house after six long months and I opened a special bottle to toast the occasion. I’ve been so excited to try Kuhlman Cellars’ 2021 Estate White. I’ve never met an Estate White of theirs that I didn’t like! Note: I love Kuhlman Cellars so much that they made me their…
Happy Hour on the Beach
The time has finally come: my first picnic on our new beach at the lake house. We have dreamed about having a beach out at Blueberry Hill for at least a decade! I’ve been saving my 2017 Ignis from Kuhlman Cellars for a special occasion. It seemed fitting to toast the beach with a really…
Alluvé by the Fire
Happy Wine Wednesday, Rosies! It was freezing cold in Dallas last week. We had several inches of snow on the ground for days and days. I stayed in watching movies with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Henry warming my lap. I made a big pot of gumbo and chocolate banana bread and curled up by…
Lemon Lakeside Picnic
I met some friends at The Harbor Rockwall today for a lemon lakeside picnic. Did you Texas has a major lake scene? In the summertime, The Harbor is bustling with boats and outdoor concerts but in the winter, I still love sitting by the sparkling blue water with a view of the lighthouse. I couldn’t…
The Most Magical Happy Hour on Earth
Every Disney lover knows that everything tastes better shaped like Mickey Mouse, so it’s no wonder I’m obsessed with my new custom-made Mickey Mouse serving bowl. Last summer my friend Irene and I went to a fabulous event at the Dallas Arboretum that featured tons of local artists. It was there we first saw Marbleized…
