I’ve never been a boozy girl. Beer and wine are my jam, y’all! I like the others (in extreme moderation) but beer and wine are where it’s at for me. 

If there’s a celebration, holiday, or even a time of disappointment or morning I’m not one to hit the hard stuff. Bring me a glass of vino and I’m set. I won’t say I have particularly refined tastes, but maybe I do and just don’t know it.

As a mom…a work at home mom at that, I’ve learned there are ways to reward myself every day. Even in summer when my kids are around 24/7. And most days, it involves a large glass of wine around 5:00 every day.

In the beginning I wasn’t sure where my work-at-home business was even going. I was very protective of my storytelling and exposure of my authentic story to everyone around us. Suddenly everyone would know the real truth.

I was trying something new and might not succeed. And we didn’t always have it all together. We were real, raw, and flawed humans.

I was incredidly self-conscious about this journey I was sharing. I was exposed and my anonymity was ending. For better or worse, my story was my own.

The surprising thing is, in recent years, I was almost always loyal to beer when drinking but ever since a Mother’s Day winery tour in the Texas Hill Country with some of my best girlfriends I’ve really gotten a taste for wine and a real adult drink.

Wente Wine Chardonnay

While I still consider myself a beer fan, some days beer just doesn’t cut it. But where beer doesn’t deliver, wine does. And on those days I’m prepared.

As long as the wine is dry, I’m pretty non-discriminate and will try whatever you send my way. And on the occasion I might get offered or sent a sweet wine, well I have a friend that compliments my dry tastes oh so perfectly and will happily consume these for me.

Wente Morning Fog Chardonnay

So when I want to enjoy a relaxing dinner after a particularly rough day or want a sophisticated addition to my Pinterest-inspired dinner, I turn to wine.

Most of the time I gravitate towards reds (dry reds) but with triple digit temps already this summer, I’ve been craving something cooler. And whites are where it’s at.

And if you can avoid using the stove…even better. Sometimes it doesn’t work exactly like you hope but with a little persuading from my husband he cooked me an entire meal and kept the heat to a minimum.

Lobster Risotto Recipe

Lobster…risotto. This pretty closely resembles the dish of my love language. Serve with a Chardonnay of your choice (I’m drinking Wente Morning Fog) and it’s a complete meal!

What Does Lobster Taste Like?

Lobster tastes and feels like a cross between a crab and a shrimp. It has a sweeter and less seafoody taste than crab. There is also more meat in a lobster than in a crab. Lobster meat is firm, sweet, and smooth.

What Does Thyme Taste Like?

Thyme is an herb that has a distinctive flavor. It’s savory and sweet, earthy with notes of woods and flowers. But also a combination of mint, citrus, lavender, and rosemary.
