Swig & Savor with The Macs

I am very sad to say that Traveling Vineyard had made the very difficult decision to close as of today. To my customers, thank you so much for supporting my small business. While we will no longer be holding Tasting Events, the company will still, for a short while, be selling the wine that they have in stock from their website. I am not sure how this will all work and I will let you know when I know. For now, I am sad to say goodbye to a businesss I was thoroughly enjoying and that was being very good to me.

Before you get wine from the big retailers, would you like to take a look at my side gig and see what Traveling Vineyard has to offer? Please help small businesses this year!! We appreciate it SOOOOO MUCH!

🍇We have:
🍷 18 wines to choose from - most are award-winning & under $20!
🍷 Free shipping of 6 or more bottles!
🍷 Personalized customer service from yours truly!
📦 Order before 5pm 12/10 to meet the holiday shipping cutoff!

Thank You and Cheers🍷

I am challenging myself to book one more tasting this month! Who wants to host a Black Friday Wine Tasting?! Or a Small Business Saturday Wine Tasting?! I will provide 5 free bottles of wine to taste with your friends and family! Make that Holiday Weekend last just a bit longer!!

Pinot Noir is YOUR best Thanksgiving red wine to enjoy along with your turkey and all the fixings! Our BEL AROME from France is just the wine to be opening and sharing.

Pinot Noir has undertones of cranberry and what pairs great with turkey dinner? Cranberry! 🙂

We call Pinot Noir a bridge wine ~~ it is a wonderful choice to help people move on over from whites to reds because of its lower tannins. Lower tannins makes it less dry and more fruit forward.

To get some of these to enjoy for Thanksgiving, here is the link: https://mytv.wine/s/je7E7x

Happy Friday ... It's time for ... Get to know your Wine Guides!

We are Roy and Dede MacDonald. We are the proud parents of four adult children and four grandchildren! (This pic is our littlest one!)

Roy works full time as an Extruder Operator (A What? ... Look It Up!) Dede is starting a new career at the ripe old age of 60! Actually, getting a new job that will hopefully take me to retirement! I will be a Homemaker/Companion for elderly folks.

For fun, we love to explore New England and all it has to offer! We hit breweries, wineries and distilleries in between antique shops and local diners!

Our long term goal is to see all the major league baseball stadiums in the country. So far, he has been to 13, but together we've been to three.

How did we become wine guides? Well, Book a tasting and I will tell you how!

Picture this ... Sicily 1985 ... Oops, nope .. wrong show!

Picture this ... you are out to dinner with friends and you decide you want to order a bottle of wine. The server brings you a bottle that you chose off the menu, they open the bottle, pour a small amount in your glass and .... Now what?! What do they expect you to do?! You don't want to look silly in front of your friends, you don't want to admit that you don't know what to do, so you pretend to stick your nose in the glass, you swirl the wine with no idea what you are looking for, then you taste it and agree that it is what you want (even though you are pretty sure it's not!!)

Wouldn't it be better to learn a little about wine so you can impress your friends at dinner, but even better, you have tasted different wines and have a better idea of what you really like! So when you swirl and sip, you know this is really going to be good!!

Let us help to educate you about the best way to taste and pair wines, with a "try before you buy" wine tasting. Completely Free to you!! Book a tasting today!

Calling All Realtors ... Are you stocked up on Closing Gifts?

Let's get your shopping done now! A bottle of wine makes a wonderful gift! Stock up that Gift Closet now so you are prepared for this Holiday Season! And while you are at it, stock up on wine for those holiday dinners you will be hosting!

Host a Wine Tasting with Roy and Dede as your Traveling Vineyard Wine Guides! Share 5 bottles of wine with your friends and family and you can all get ready for the Holidays together!

Oh My Goodness!!

Apple Cider Sangria!!

It is delish!

In a quart mason jar,

1 cup Lulo or Smirk (I had Smirk)
2 oz cinnamon whiskey or in this case “Apple Pie Moonshine”
1 mini can Ginger Ale
Fill the rest of the jar with apple cider.

Put lid on and shake!

For rim of glass:
Dip in Caramel Ice Cream Sauce and then dip in sugar and cinnamon

Perfect fall drink to go with my pumpkin roll.

It's a new release kinda day!
(Now, that's a riesling to smile)
2021 Lazy Lab, Columbia Valley Riesling, Washington
SKU: WAS111 | Price: $19.99 | CV: $18.99
Available as a Preview Wine through October 30

This Lazy Lab Riesling is a knockout bargain, hailing from a premier sustainably focused Washington winegrower. Pale lemon-yellow straw and medium body, Lazy Lab has an aromatic nose of white flowers, pears and stone fruits with a hint of minerality. Pretty and dainty supported by racy acidity—a staple white with ethnic cuisines.

Every October (actually all year long) I think about my friend Peggy. Peggy was such a bright light in this world. Her smile lit up a room and she was always game for anything! She always danced like no one was watching and embraced every day she had on this earth.

But breast cancer cut that time short. While October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I am aware of it every day. Because I will forever feel the loss of my friend.

I also celebrate the love of a friend who is a survivor. Shannon has met cancer more than once and has faced it head on each time. She is a continuing inspiration for me.

So, I am proud to offer this wine, Rayado, that is one of our charity wines and that contributes $1 from each bottle to Living Beyond Breast Cancer, a national nonprofit that connects people with trusted information and a community of support.

Book your own tasting in October and I will be sure to include Rayado as one of the bottles we taste! Every bit makes a difference.

Do you know someone getting married soon?!

Fissata Blonde makes the perfect wine to toast the Bride and Groom!

Let's talk about a tasting! I'll bring the cupcakes!

It's Game Day ... What are you pairing with your Snacks?

Let's plan a Game Day Tasting ... we can do an hour of wine tasting before kickoff!! Let's Make That Happen!!

How is it possible that I will be 60 in 10 days? I have not been looking forward to this for the last year ... I wasn't bothered by turning 30 or 40 and even 50. But this birthday, for some reason, is hitting me harder!

I have decided to celebrate it though. Things to celebrate ... being that much closer to retirement for both Roy and I. Senior Discounts!! Caring less about what people think and doing more of what makes us happy.

So, I will start celebrating now .... and maybe I will celebrate all year!

Cheers to me ... I'm going to be 60 in 10 days!! I'm going to Eat the Cake and Drink the Wine!

Today is National Pinot Noir Day!!

And what better way to celebrate it than with a bottle of our Bel Arome Pinot Noir!

This Award Winning Wine is delicious and I look forward to pairing it tonight with our Pork Chops and Baked Potatoes!

Want to try it? Message me and I will tell you how!
