This episode kicks off with the sharing of a moment of truth…or put differently, a moment of vulnerability.  Things aren't always peachy-keen in life, are they?  It's ultimately all about how we handle the curve balls that come our way and what we do with the moments (both good and less than stellar) that life provides us.  Perhaps this episode will spark something within you in this regard.If you'd rather just focus on wine, skip ahead and listen in to learn more about Argentina's superstar white grape variety, Torrontes.  In this episode, we cover what Torrontes wine is like, where it is found, what its origin story is and what different foods it pairs well with.  If you aren't already craving a crisp Torrontes after reading this, you probably will be after listening to this episode!Click here if you want to learn more about Torrontes - I wrote an in-depth article on my blog about this fun grape!If you loved and/or learned something new from this podcast episode, do drop me a line via email or on Instagram and let me know - I love hearing from the Wineitupanotch Community!!

I'm pretty proud of me, myself and I as I'm recording this episode.  I broke a serious sweat to kick off the day and it feels good!  So in this episode, I can't help but share a little bit about my approach to exercise and what I find necessary and helpful when it comes to bringing fitness into my life - hopefully, this gets you moving today!We also take a look at the fine art of BYOB - or, bringing your own (wine) bottle when you go out for a meal.  Inspired by a recent outing with my family, I share what works and doesn't work when it comes to BYOB and when/where you should consider it as a viable option for your overall dining experience.  In my personal view, it is a great opportunity to partake in under a lot of circumstances if and when it is available to you :)If you're in Toronto, Ontario (Canada) and you're wondering where you can BYOB, here's a great list to help you out:  Toronto BYOB Restaurants.  Remember to take one of the tips from this episode and always call ahead to confirm the accuracy of this (or any other) list at the time of your dining experience.Also, if you want to check out the cool South Asian restaurant I talk about in this episode (which I highly recommend you do!!), check out this link:  Soos RestaurantIf you loved and/or learned something new from this podcast episode, do drop me a line via email or on Instagram and let me know - I love hearing from the Wineitupanotch Community!!

I've been at it for YEARS and I still can't seem to get this one thing right as a Mom (amongst a whole host of other things, no doubt!).  It doesn't seem to matter how well organized I try to be, some things just don't seem meant to be once you're a parent. Can you relate? In this episode, I hope to shed light on how to manage through moments you cannot control and enjoy them as best as you can.  After all, isn't life supposed to be beautiful?And then, we dive into Port wine!  Port is a style of wine that I confess I don't personally drink a lot of but I do appreciate it.  The thing about Port is that it can be downright intimidating!  As if there isn't already enough to know/learn in the world of wine…. :)Well don't worry, in this episode, I break down the basics of Port for you, including:What Port is;Where in the world Port comes from;The traditional origins of Port; Major styles of Port;Other wines that come from the same region as Port does; andFoods to pair with this style of wine!Have a listen - I”m sure you'll learn a thing or two, even if you are very knowledgeable about wines!  For those who wish to take a deeper dive into the topic, be sure to check out this excellent resource by Wine Enthusiast magazine.If you loved and/or learned something new from this podcast episode, do drop me a line via email or on Instagram and let me know - I love hearing from the Wineitupanotch Community!!

I'm so sick of the mess in my office and I just can't seem to get away from it, no matter how hard I try!  I'm not an organizational expert by any stretch but in this episode, I share how I'm dealing with the catastrophe that is my office these days! :)I also share information about a great little Italian wine that you've probably never heard of called Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio.  Lacryma Christi has a fascinating story behind it and its namesake.  It is also a really affordable and delicious option if you're looking to get off the beaten track and try something new! The exact wine I share notes for is the 2020 Mastroberardino Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio. I also wrote a blog post about this wine, which you can check out here.If you loved and/or learned something new from this podcast episode, be sure to drop me a line via email or on Instagram and let me know - I love hearing from the Wineitupanotch Community!!

I've been trying to be “dry” this month, ostensibly to make up for past indulgences!  But I still need to pick out a “Wine of the Week” to review on my blog (lucky me!) and this time, I've picked a Bonarda from Argentina!I'm a really big fan of this undercover superstar grape.  Though it does not have the fame of Malbec, it is undeniably Argentina's #2 red grape variety and for good reason!  Tune into this episode to learn more about Bonarda and what I think you should know about, and enjoy, when it comes to this grape variety.NOTE:  You'll hear me refer to a wine that inspired this episode, namely the 2017 El Enemigo Los Paraísos Bonarda.  Though I do not review the wine in this podcast episode, I have done so on my blog.  Click here and read the review if you are interested!If you have had this wine and/or learn something new from this podcast episode, be sure to drop me a line via email or on Instagram and let me know.
