January is a clean slate for a reason. We couldn’t possibly continue into the New Year with the same ferocity (or else we’d all end up crazy exhausted, broke and very bloated). It feels so good to start over, but…
Better your wine show signs of age than your skin right? While you’ve been romping through spring wildflowers and soaking in the summer sun (whilst wearing loads of broad spectrum SPF), your Paso Robles reds have been maturing into wise,…
What’s in a word? Well, a whole lot. Ever realize how using “lazy” words can really bog down a conversation or even make it harder to get your point across? Consider these two descriptors of a sunset—“nice,” and “breathtaking”—and tell…
Never wear white after Labor Day. Always send hand-written thank you notes immediately following the receiving of a gift. You cannot start a sentence with a prepositional phrase. WHO SAYS? And, for that matter, who says that you can’t enjoy…
We know, we know. Aren’t there enough rules to the wine world (swirl this, spit that—don’t add ice cubes, blah, blah blah)? We aren’t saying you can’t add a splash of soda water to your chardonnay if you find a…
Congrats! You survived the 2016 presidential race. Regardless of where you stand politically, there is one thing we can all agree on. This election has been louder, zanier, and more stressful than most. Whether victorious or saddened by the results,…

Don’t get us wrong: we love packing the car up for beach outings and road tripping it to family camping excursions, but summer vacation can sometimes feel like a whole lot of work. This summer, be sure to make time…
Mom has done a lot for you over the years, hasn’t she? She comforted you when you bombed that big job interview, always makes your favorite meal for your birthday without fail, and will never say you look “great” when…
