Happy Hour at Apogee

Wow, what an adventure tasting Icewine around @niagarawinefest! Each pairing was so unique and interesting, like this Cab Franc Icewine with Icewine Marshamallow from @pellerwines. . . . See my stories for all 8 food and wine pairings, and stay tuned for more on this trip! . . . . . #comesipwithus #pellerwine #cabfranc #niagarawine #drinklocal #winelover #momlife #thankful #momvibes #wineeducator #winetime #holidayspirit #holidayseason #niagaraonthelake #icewine #icewine #dessertwine #winterwarmer #marshmallow #roastedmarshmallows

What’s your favorite non-drinking activity to do when you’re visiting a wine region? I love exploring historic sites! During our recent trip to @ompwinetrail, we took a morning to explore the Mission Point Lighthouse and Park. It was a wonderful way to take in the lakes, learn a little about the area, and enjoy the peaceful sounds of the lake. . . . . #comesipwithus #winetravel #travelawesome #wineadventure #wineeducator #lakesandgrapes @lakesandgrapes #greatlakes #oldmissionpeninsula #ompwinetrail #omp #oldmission #michigantravel #travelinspiration #adventureisoutthere

After a year of @clevelandroc sharing their beer with us, we finally made it to @otherhalfroc. Really digging the Roc Showers and Green City, guess I like the double dry hopped beers. . . . . #drinklocal #otherhalfbrewing #craftbeer #585drinks #otherhalf #doubledryhopped #beersofinstagram #beerstagram #beerlover #beergirl #girlswhodrinkbeer #travelawesome #beeradventure #daywithoutthekids #adultsdayoff

Do you have a grape you always try at a winery? . . For me, it’s Riesling and Cab Franc. If they are a tasting option, I’m going to try them. It’s my way of comparing wineries against one another—not to judge whether one is better than another, but rather to see the differences of the terroir, expression, treatment, etc. . . This is from @hawthornevineyards; part of our amazing two days spent tasting wines on @ompwinetrail. . . . #comesipwithus #winelover #wineeducator #cabernetfranc #riesling #winetraveler #winewednesday #adventuretime #travelawesome #winetravel #wineadventure #michiganwine #oldmissionpeninsula #ompwinetrail

Who is a fan of dessert wine? 🙋‍♀️ . . I think the key to a good dessert wine is balance, enough acid to keep the sweetness in check so you aren’t left with a coating of sugary syrup on your tongue. . . . . This Celsius, an “iced” dessert wine made from Vignoles and Gewürztraminer, by @atwaterwine is just that, a perfect balance of rich sweet pineapple and peach with enough of an acid kick to leave you wanting more. To do this, the grapes are frozen after picking, then pressed to make wine. . . . . It also gives me an excuse to use these adorable little glasses I got from my grandparents. . . . #comesipwithus #flxwine #fingerlakeswine #flx #fingerlakes #winelover #momlife #thankful #momvibes #wineeducator #winetime #holidayspirit #holidayseason #antiqueglassware #icedwine #icewine #dessertwine #winterwarmer.

Popped these lovelies to celebrate the New Year. They were all magnificent and so different: 🍋 @boundarybreaks was citrusy and bright 🍓 @kewvineyards tasted like strawberries and biscuits 🍑 @ravineswine was hazelnut and apricot . . Which would you prefer? . . . This photo was totally inspired by @chasinggrapeness, who does the best “wine bottle in front of beautiful nature” shots ever. Also, love that it’s kind of a sneaky selfie. . . . . #comesipwithus #wineeducation #wineeducator #winelover #champagne #methodechampenoise #sparkling #newyearseve #champagnepop #bubbly #sparkle #sparklingwine #twentyvalleywine #flxwine #fingerlakeswine #drinklocal
