Me Time

I need ME TIME!! I’m screaming. But seriously, it’s important. I cherish the moments when I find a pocket of time in a day when I don’t have to be anywhere, do anything, or see anyone.  Sometimes, I waste it by watching stupid YouTube videos and stalking people on social media. BUT. But. Sometimes, I pick some roses from the bush in front of my bungalow (that I didn’t plant!) and pour myself a glass of wine. When you’re only worrying about yourself, you can be selfish in your wine decisions. What is it I want in this exact moment? Something pink and cold and tart. Done!

I poured myself some 2013 Teutonic Pinot Noir Rosé and dang was it delicious. I’ve really enjoyed everything I’ve tasted from this Oregon winery and was so excited to dig in to this new release. It was almost prickly on my tongue, so young and fresh. A perfect way to end a 90 degree day here in LA. As we are only in April, I fear a brutal summer ahead. But, that just gives me an excuse to drink more rosé. So, I guess it won’t be all that bad.

    I’m so excited for rose season to be in full swing! I don’t think its a coincidence that all summer food seems to go so well with rose! Seriously can you think of anything that our blushing friend doesn’t make better?
