First round of wine club in the books. My goal for this wine club is to give you three essentials anyone ahould know when it comes to a region, theme or style. Think of it as my 30 second elevator pitch. For April, we took a tour through Spain with Albarino from Rias Baixas, a classic Rioja and a Grenache-based Montsant representing the New Spain. Detailed notes included for each bottle. For members wanting a deeper exploration, we included the Laurel Priorat from the legendary producer of Clos Erasmus.

Long gone are the days where I could sleep like the dead in my 20's. As I settle into middle age, a good night's rest has become more elusive than ever. Really loving this book to get me motivated to make sleep my number priority. Apparently sleep is the cure for everything! πŸ˜΄πŸ’€πŸ›Œ
