2016 Azienda Agricola Arianna Occhipinti SP68 Bianco Sicilia IGT

This is another beauty from my girl, Arianna Occhipinti, made of two grape varieties that are native to Sicily - Zibibbo (A.K.A. Muscat of Alexandria) and Albanello. Also, FYI, “SP68″ refers to the road near Arianna’s Vittoria estate. Honeysuckle, raw nuts, dried green herbs, a hint of grapeyness, and lavender on the nose. Pear, raw nuts, green herbs, sage, dried peaches, and even a hint of orange peel and apple on the palate. Biodynamic.

Wheezin’ the Juice. Look it up.

Moody and romantic. NBD, it’s just a fucking orchid in my drink. No wonder everything in Norway costs a million dollars.

Is that a coy little Aperol Spritz lurking behind a bold as brass gin and tonic?

[spacepuppies]

This speaks for itself. Summer in a glass. Woop woop!

The Milk Maid. A winning combination of gin, cucumber, mint and simple syrup. Also comes with a secondary pour in a tiny cute bottle. Squee!

Praying for Kate’s family, friends, loved ones, and everyone else who knew her. I am heartbroken at the news :( if anyone is feeling depressed, please reach out to me or someone else. I would love to talk to you :)

This cocktail was literally the “Bee’s Knees” from Mallard Cottage in the super charming Quidi Vidi Village. I don’t remember exactly what was in it, but that’s probably a symptom of how dang good it was.

Long time no type. But this is a legit speakeasy scenario (no street level signage, buzzer) so what the hell. There is actually marshmallow in my drink and now I am STOKED

The path to Sunday perfection is at hand

Saturday day drinking is super satisfying on the long weekend.

2015 Domaine des Côtes Blanches Sancerre

This is a lovely Sancerre to enjoy on a picnic. Ripe green pepper, lime skin, Meyer lemon, and the tiniest whiff of basil on the nose. Bursting with Meyer lemon, green pepper, and stone on the palate with lingering acidity.

What makes a mojito royal? Champagne, d'uh.
