Don’t forget @binnysbev #charcuterieboard and #wine pairing virtual class today at 5 PM on Zoom or Facebook Live.

Where’s the first place you’ll want to travel

Where’s the first place you’ll want to travel to, post #quarantine? I’m fairly certain I’m going to be heading back to #Idaho or #Montana because I Love the mountains, hidden natural hot springs, the vastness of open land, friendly people who don’t want to get all up in your business, tasty wine, history, weather...basically everything. Where are you dreaming about visiting first? #postcovidtravel #travelbucketlist #idahome #iloveidaho #hotsprings #traveltheusa #usa #americana #domestictravel

It was sooooo hot today, I couldn’t think about cooking. A quick #charcuterie -but-mostly-#cheeseboard was all I wanted. •

In truth, one of my favorite parts of #winestudy is trying out food pairings. I’ve made some bad choices, but the good ones stick around. Tonight I paired @domaineguigal 2019 Côtes du Rhône Rosé ($13.99/bottle or $11.99/bottle with your Binny’s card!!!) with my cheese board for one. (Hubs already ate.)The fruitiness and dry blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Cinsault, and 10% Syrah paired well with everything on my board, from the sweet apricot Stilton to the vinegary cornichons. While the Wisconsin white cheddar wasn’t particularly memorable, the goat cheese and triple crème brie were #Italiankiss. •

Finding new forms of fun around the house during #

Finding new forms of fun around the house during #Quarantine has been great. While I haven't wanted to write more than a blog post a month, I have been gardening, rearranging furniture, and even become an armchair #mixologist. It's never been easier to get great craft spirits delivered directly to your door (in Illinois only) with @spirithubofficial . What's more you can get free shipping by using my code, "SHIPJS" With filtering features like what type of spirit, what state of origin, colors, certifications like Kosher and NON-GMO, it's a no brainer to try something new through Spirit Hub. #SupportSmallBusiness and Support @SpiritHubOfficial #21pluscontent #SpiritHubAffiliate

On a day of biblical rain, I made big plans for #winestudy and article writing. Instead, I watched birds for 6 hours. Wasn’t fast enough to capture the hummingbirds or #grosbeak, but I’ll keep trying. #backyardbirder #birdnerd•
