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. 😉

THE Downsizing continues! Making life a little more simple, between Bourgogne, France & San Francisco, California, getting married this year and 2 dogs! It is a good decision!



HERE is our Progress!

I'm so glad Dieselle's bed fits and our Pergola!








I've been so busy lately, I have to stop and think wine. But simplifying the life and living well, and not so large, is a focus! My guy wants to focus more on art, sculpting and restoration on 
11th-14th century church/architecture. 
I want to focus on wine, wine, wine, and keeping up with the busy pace. We both want to do business together, as a couple....and somehow the universe had us not go in other directions, and directed us to each other! Merci Universe!!!









This WALKIN bathtub was loved....I just want this duly noted!

(sigh) Francois has an awesome plan, for tub in the bridge house~




(Big sigh)

BYE BYE BIG SEXY, SPACIOUS, LUXE HOUSE in the sky, my man built with his bare hands! This house truly was Francois Pinto's  masterpiece! A True artist.


Hello!!!

But looking forward to...... little bridge canal cottage with a row boat! Different part of town, it's more medieval and the ancient part of the city. Used to be our Funhouse, we use to stay while renting the other. Ridiculous, going back and forth between France and SF, for work was getting out of hand. Too much, and being a responsible adult is not MTV cribs! Ya, dig....lol



Medieval will always be cool to me! I'm a beach girl from California.....you don't see architecture like this where I'm from!

Can you see Dieselle?!?!?! LOL

New tub idea in the attic! I am very excited!
The romance must continue...... xo




So Goth! I LOVE It!!!!!



Moving sucks, and there is no way around it!
I've gotten hurt a few times....
Why not movers?! Some things yes.....BUT, Movers in France are not like the movers in the US.....we prefer to just do it slowly ourselves, and I will leave it at that.....ya just know what ya know..... Hey that experience can be another blog! LOL






 I just need to stay positive and look at the bigger picture! 
Having a comfortable bank account, 
making wise decisions, 
my dogs happy, 
being in peace in the mind and body....... 
Being in a loving existence....... 
This is the life I want to lead. 
This is why I work and push it to the limit. Sometimes, I (workaholic) needs R&R, to have patience, and drop it(level of stress) down a 1000.....lol
 Combined with passion for what you love, being in love, for me this is success.

Grateful for God's blessings.

Happy weekend
xoxo Game of Seasons
