💡It has come to my attention party/event planning isn’t easy for everyone. I usually think that if something is easy for me, then it has to be easy or stress free for everyone. I also understand that sometimes, across all industries, we may need someone to brainstorm and take that first step with before everything flows.
🍾Let’s schedule a virtual or in person meet to discuss and we can go from there!
Both of these dishes are out of control…
1. Costa Rican Style Ceviche
2. Chorizo Al Vino Tinto
I am testing recipes and I am over the moon 🌙 Plus, I cracked open a Pinot Noir to indulge in while I nosh on these and watch Signs.

Halloween Party 2023 was a success!! Did I forget to capture the haunted forest entryway, backyard, and other food?? Of course I did. BUT I guess you just had to be there 🔮
Each year this celebration grows more and more and I’m looking forward to the years to come.

Kahlua’s St. Pete Adventure last weekend 🐾
We got our morning coffee & water at @blackcrowcoffeeco and sat in the garden. Followed by a short walk to @dogbarstpete where she immediately made new friends. After a few drinks, sloshing in the kiddie pools, and running laps; we made our way to @greenbenchbrewing where Ryan met us for Oktoberfest kick-off beers and brats.

THIS RIESLING WAS THE RIGHT MOVE!! I was constantly sip, bite, sip, bite… paired with:

Lion King #WineDinner Pairing was so much fun! 3 more to go for Ryan’s top 5 #disney series.
Quick visit to Key Largo and the Florida Everglades! We just had Saturday to Sunday to get down and get back home. Made the most of our time kayaking, snorkeling, talking to strangers, and finding some great spots to eat and drink! Can’t wait to be back exploring the keys in 2 months. We just couldn’t wait until then.
Sal’s Ballyhoos
Caribbean Club
Cactus Jacks
Skipper’s Dockside

White wine at the pool is a summer staple! Sure we can have margs, spritzes, and mojitos…You do you boo. But a crisp glass of stone fruit forward and citrusy Sauvignon Blanc is a perfect pair to a hot summer day. I would say this wine is a patio pounder so proceed with caution and please drink responsibly!
For some food you can nosh on with it: Caesar salad, goat cheese and grapes, watermelon salad with herbs and feta crumble, or some ceviche!
How are you enjoying the weekend?

I sent my husband on a mission to stop at @trywine.dtsp on his way home from work today. Churrasco with chimichurri was in need of being paired with a scrumptious Malbec. Grilled corn and peppers tied the meal together for a smokey and satisfying meal.
🍷Terrazas de Los Andes Reserva Malbec 2020
📝 subtle floral, bold black fruit, light French oak, dry, medium to light body, and integrated tannins
White Wine Party at @hbsforlife ! What a fun way to experience a variety of wine, interact with new folks, see new vendors, and enjoy a sunny afternoon in #DTSP! Bringing people together for a good time is one of the many reasons why I love working with wine!
#cheers to good wine, food, and friends!!

Hobbies: Beach Days, Wine Tasting, Exploring Nature, and 🥂 Saint Pete Brunching 🥂 @allelostpete was a perfect destination to start a Sunday Funday. We had a blast going all in for family style brunch and peer pressure keg. Also- very fun wine offerings!
As someone who was an Annata devotee, it’s great to see the space transformed into this new gem of a spot!

Celebrating tequila day at @tequiladaisystpete 🥃🌼 ! Can’t wait to go back to try even more delicious cocktails as well as tequilas from their EXTENSIVE list of offerings.
We had the Maiz Margarita, Boca de Fuego, Tequila Daisy, and the Hibiscus Paloma!

Italian sausage, basil, roasted garlic, and a side of broccoli with cheese/garlic. It was just begging to be paired with a Chianti I’ve been saving for the right meal.

It’s a 2oz dessert wine pour, ok! Had to do some improvising 😄 It was this cup or the 2 oz shot glass that reads, “to drink or not to drink. What a stupid question”.
🍷I actually am on the hunt for really unique crystal cordial/aperitif glasses. So if you know of a site or even an antique shop that you’ve stumbled upon with eclectic glassware in Greater Tampa Bay, drop those details in the comments.

Strawberry shortcake canapés & mezcal lime chili wings! Picked a savory & sweet dish to bring to our neighborhood 4th of July block party 🇺🇸 In hindsight, I should have made double of everything so I could have kept the other portions for myself!
🎆 I hope everyone had a fun, safe, and relaxing holiday weekend.
Sunset snacks at @berkeleybeachclub in Pass-a-Grille 🌅🦪🦐 Incredibly fresh seafood dishes that pair beautifully with a sunset and salt air. For a more extensive menu, head downstairs for bigger bites, bold cocktails, and decadent desserts.

Don’t tell #DTSP we’ve been splitting our time & hanging out in Sarasota 🤫
We made it a priority to indulge at @eatkojo and it was an incredible dinner. Food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were supreme. I could live off of those nori tacos!!!

🔆Food highlights🔆 I took some time off to focus with family. My grandparents were able to make the trip to FL and I worked to make sure their visit was a dream come true.
One of the biggest highlights was getting to make a pizza with my grandma again. This is one of those dishes I’ve been making since being in a high chair at her house. I just know it’s better when made with her 🩷
Thanks for respecting my pause to reset. I’m looking forward to more events, tastings, and everything in between. CHEERS 🥂
Instagram VS Reality! Thoughtful charcuterie board for our guests to enjoy and then there’s my sneak away plate 😅 Oh and I piped truffle goat cheese into those sweet heat peppadews. I strongly recommend you consider that journey for yourself. Or set up a wine night with me. That’s always on the menu 💁🏼♀️

Guessing game wine dinner!? I’m in 🙋🏼♀️ Old World Vs. New World wine pairing with each course. Ugh, what a fun time. Then again, it’s always a fun time at @tampa_club ! I am really proud of myself for getting all of them correct 🪶🧢
If you have questions about the club OR the Epicurean club, send me a message and I’ll be happy to chat.

What a meal❤️🔥 I am still drooling over the bone marrow with my wagyu. Decadence and an explosion of flavor. We also had to try the Meat Market cuvée to round it all out.
For dessert- THE PISTACHIO CREME BRÛLÉE!! GIVE ME A BUCKET AND A SHOVEL OF THIS!!! Yes- I am shouting about this because I can’t contain my feelings. Don’t buy me flowers, buy me this dessert. Thank you.

Must be the luck of the Irish ☘️ for this Colcannon to have come out as luscious as it did. I’m not Irish, but everyone has the touch today!
If I had a Meade on hand, that’s what I’d be sipping with this. A beverage that was made in secret by Irish monks. Of course it has a longer history, but that’s your fun fact for Friday! Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Sláinte!!
When the gang goes to opening week of @caneandbarrel ! Didn’t get pics of the meal because I was too busy laughing, eating, and drinking. Love an *elevated* patio szn. Get it. Because it’s on the 8th floor….ok, I’ll stop. Go enjoy some pisco, chimichuri everything, and buñuelos 🤤

Controlled chaos. Not just the name of fabulous boutique wine from Thacher, but a summation of the past weekend! They came into Tampa right before 🏴☠️Gasparilla🏴☠️ and kicked off the festivities with some playfully delicious bottles of wine.

Who doesn’t love a fabulous wine paring at the top of Tampa? Had a blast with some Napa Valley Cabs from Andrew Geoffrey - Diamond Hill & Melanson- #pritchardhill Some 2008 up to 2018. What an experience!

Thank you for your support and we look forward to serving you #CHEERS to good wine, food, and company! #tampabay
Love a charcuterie & crudités board as Thanksgiving appetizers. Perfect for munching in front on the game 🏈 or noshing instead of picking at the dinner cooking in the kitchen🍗
I hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekend and continue to hold on to the feelings of gratitude as we wrap up 2022.

Fall nights, mega pints, and @farmhousefresh 🍂🥃
Unwinding after a joyful, but jam packed weekend. Throwing in a night of pampering before going full speed ahead into the week.
FHF bourbon bubbler is a must have fall/winter indulgence. Pair it in the bubble bath with a full bodied red wine for even more relaxation.
50°, rain, wind, and darkness in FL tonight calls for a packed glass of raspberries with a bright finish. Given the climate for this grape varietal is known for its dramatic temperature swings…. It’s a perfect fit for a FL chilly night. Just the other day we were sitting pretty in the 80s!

CHAFFLES!! Looking for a spin 🌀 on your typical brunch? These are an awesome savory alternative to its sweet counterpart. I personally love mine topped with a NY style lox and schmear combo..However, they are a great canvas for creativity. Plus, they still go well with your classic brunch cocktails.
