Welcome, I'm Donna!

More wine, better trips. That’s the reason for this site.

Wine should be accessible to everyone, without fear of intimidation for not knowing the lingo or not knowing what to buy, how not to spend a lot, or what to pair it with.

I created this site because I’m studying wine, and as I progress, I’m sharing wine education to inspire others to feel comfortable going to a winery, wine tasting, or choosing a bottle as a gift.

I also love to write about travel, so you’ll find ideas of places to visit, how to do the trip of a lifetime on a budget, or maximize a day at any destination without missing anything. It could be a day trip to a local winery, a week in the rainforest, or ten days in Paris. Not every trip we take is about wine — but luckily, we do manage to find some almost everywhere we go.

Whether you’re looking for a beginner wine 101 guide or you’re well-versed in wine, I hope you stick around. Cheers!
