My favorite things….I have so many favorite wineries, so let’s start with My husband and I visited Sonoma Valley back in 2021 and being a big Cabernet fan I was thrilled when we stumbled upon Aperture Cellars. Their wines are across the board AMAZING! They also have a killer Malbec under their other label I highly recommend grabbing a bottle or case of all their wines - you will thank me

My favorite things…..I love this. Sorry it’s been a minute since my last favorites, but it’s been crazy! This next favorite I asked my husband for it last holiday season and it’s hasn’t disappointed. It turns my large sauce pot into a large steamer. I love that the handles are also made of silicone so it doesn’t get too hot to handle. There are other versions of it, but this one is from Woll out of Germany. We originally bought it from but I didn’t see it on there website anymore so you can also find it on
