I FORGOT MY CORK SCREW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF?! LOL It can happen......
Monday, May 16, 2016
I have been so concentrated on moving, I realize my love affair with wine....needs to be rekindled.
Beaune, France weekend was great! The rest of the Côté D'or....needs my attention!
I have found some gorgeous vintage, new wine, and excited the new wine buying season begins.
(Check out Gameofseasons~ Instagram for pictures of wine, and the latest exploring in Bourgogne, France.)
I am ready for the hunting and new tastings. I live here part time, and I needz to get busy.
Enough with all the paperwork and moving already! I'd be stoked when COLAs are completely finished. I would like to start working on visits to winemakers, wine dinners, new wine tastings, auctions, finding new clients, keeping happy clients, preparing pallets/organized, and getting back to work! I live for the thrill of it all. I am a girl, in love with this work, and who wants to earn a good living. #womeninwine #womenwhowork #workinghard
After this moving, downsizing shit....we hit the road between Bourgogne, and Portugal this year!
Portugal is actually where my fiancé s family is from, and we're visiting them this year. I'm so excited because they happen to be in the Douro Valley and Porto! (Nerd session!!!!)
Driving through Spain for Rojas and tapas, will be nice too.
I feel sometimes maybe we're doing too much, but what did we expect?! Beginning a new life, I'm learning is sacrafice, faith, love, and compromise. I'm giving my all, and this is a go! It's a little stressful, but here we are....there is no manual for this thing called life. 😄 😊
I'm really looking forward to seeing new things, tasting more wine, eating some serious good food, and having just (SF/Burgundy)
2 places 😨 to go to and call home. Feeling a little lost, but convinced that the worse is almost over. (Whew) Comfortable with makings things a little easier.
Did I mention?
I want to taste more wine.
I want to taste more wine.
I want to bring amazing wine back from Europe to the US and Japan.
I want to get married this year, be happy, my dogs healthy, and not have a nervous breakdown....
OK, OK... Let me re-phrase that last part.... I really need a good 2016! Staying positive, saying positive things, staying healthy, believing in positive reinforcement, not taking no bullshiz, but keeping positive energy in the universe.
God has gotten me this far.....
I believe.
Prayer, is good. 😉
