Catena Alta Chardonnay Fantasmas
Last night, yet again, I couldn’t sleep. This isn’t a Covid thing, this is a Susan thing. I don’t have a problem falling asleep; on the contrary. Once the day is over, once I can sit on a couch with a Nexflix agenda – I’m out. I start to stir at 3 or 4 AM.…

Lapostolle Life Vest – Thanks For The Save
Sometimes, you just need to keep going. Keep your head down, be introverted as all hell, do what is necessary, and hope that your magic carpet will appear very soon. My carpet has just arrived; but stuff happened, and stuff was real. What about that – the in between? What happens to you when you…

Identity Consequences; Wine and You, Friend – Reviewing Bodegas La Casa Luculo
Identity, hmmmmm… are you living your painful truth? Is it agonizing to live with your surface thoughts? How many times have you filtered yourself, sent the over anxious text, flirted on the edge of just being inappropriate? (guilty) I don’t agree with the fact that you cannot take responsibility, as an adult, for adulting. We’ve…

Breathing In My Ugly – Drinking Illumination Sauvignon Blanc
I”m told that you can find beauty in all things, that it is in the eye of the beholder, there is beauty in the ugly, that someone will see your beauty deep within you…is this all a crock of shit? Sometimes, we gotta live in the ugly. In the REAL ugly – not the messed…
