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…

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…
Spring Picnic at Kuhlman Cellars
I had the best time visiting my friends at beautiful Kuhlman Cellars down in the Texas hill country last week! I spent my last normal day of 2020 before all hell broke loose sipping wine at Kuhlman Cellars so it holds a special place in my heart and I’ve been dying to go back. My…
Charcuterie and Albariño at San Martiño
Oh, what a night! I had the loveliest time at San Martiño Winery & Vineyards with my friend Jessica this evening. This hidden gem is in my darling lakeside town of Rockwall, Texas about thirty minutes east of Dallas. It’s a small, family-owned vineyard with exception wine. The family has been making wine in northern…
Kuhlman Cellars New Spring Wines
I could not be more excited about Kuhlman Cellars‘ new spring wines. I spent the last day of my pre-quarantine life in the beautiful Texas hill country sampling these new wines with Kuhlman Cellars’ winemaker Bénédicte Rhyne and Kuhlman’s Assistant Vigneron Ollivier. It was a gorgeous spring day in March and we three sat in…
4.0 Cellars
Ten years ago, three Texas winemakers from around the state decided to open a winery in the heart of the Texas wine country, Fredericksburg. Brennan Vineyards, Lost Oak Winery, and McPherson Cellars came together to open 4.0 Cellars, which is known for its wine and cheese and wine and chocolate pairings. I recently had the…
Pontotoc Vineyard’s Weingarten
A historic respite in downtown Fredericksburg Tucked away in the charming town of Fredericksburg, Texas lies Pontotoc Vineyard’s Weingarten. Lights are strung from trees and the stone courtyard offers a quiet sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the famous Texas town. It’s modeled after the weingartens of Vienna and is both kid- and dog-friendly. I had the pleasure…
Folktale Winery
I could not possibly love Folktale Winery any more. The estate is situated on fifteen acres of sustainably-farmed vineyards just ten minutes outside of town in Carmel, California. The patio is beyond perfect to sip the day away. Imagine sipping the best rose you’ve ever had on comfortable couches in 70-degree weather, roses swaying in…
