Welcome back friends! I hope your new year is off to an amazing start. We recently got quite a bit of snow here in Nashville, which was... exciting? I tramped around a bit in my rainboots, so that was cool. I’m still a California girl though, and I get freaked out by large amounts of snow. But on to better things.
Today we have a very important topic to discuss, and that topic is wine tasting.

This post brought to you by Texas.
Hey there everyone!
Sorry I’ve been away for a bit— I’ve been traveling pretty much constantly for most of November and I’ll be in and out of Nashville for a lot of December, but you can check us out on Instagram to see some of our adventures over the next few weeks... Plus we have some great posts coming up for you! Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled blog post…
Before we jump in, I’d like to provide a little background info on my past few Thanksgivings (I know— thrilling stuff): My brother-in-law’s family lives in Austin. Since Austin is a bit closer to Nashville than California, our little three-person Nashville family has been making the twelve to sixteen-hour drive to Austin for the past four years to celebrate Thanksgiving. Austin is a great city, full of great food, quirky stores...and also John’s family has a hot tub and a puppy so it’s totally great.

Bubbly! Fall! What could be better? (A Colbie Caillat reference? I THINK SO).

Do you ever see a group of people and think to yourself that they don’t actually belong in the world? Like, obviously they are real people but they look like they should be in some fancy magazine instead of casually enjoying some Wednesday night two-for-one margaritas?
Let me explain.
My roommates and I live in a quirky little house in the Green Hills area of Nashville. Recently, we've gotten some new neighbors who have been in the process of renovating the house next door.
The other night, they had a party.

I think that my post titles are really getting better.
I'm a fall person.
Like, I don't know if I'd voluntarily refer to myself as Pinterest-level fall, and I think Pumpkin Spice Lattes are way too sweet, but boots, leaves, apple-picking? Give it to me. I love cozy sweaters, and bonfires, and other fall-tivities (Although admittedly I'm not great at haunted houses- I was scarred as a young child due to an unfortunate experience at the Mummy walk-through attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood— thanks a lot Imhotep).
One of my favorite fall activities is directly related to the abundance of squash available this time of year, specifically the carving and roasting parts (which would sound kiiiinda weird if I wasn't talking about squash). I love roasting vegetables, since it's an easy and delicious way to get the most flavor out of your vegetables, and there's something so nice and fall-like about roasting squash with olive oil and rosemary.
So why the squash talk? This is not a food blog, you might think. This is a wine blog. I promise I know that.
So let's talk about wine now.
