It’s no secret 2018 was the year I fell in-love with the Pacific Northwest. With trips to both Washington and Oregon, I at last experienced beloved cities like Seattle and Portland. With just about 24 hours to enjoy in Portland, time was of the essence, […]
Happy Wednesday! Or, as I like to call it, Wine Women Wednesday. In this bi-weekly series, I’m thrilled to introduce you to some of the awesome women killing it in the wine industry. Today, meet Darcie Kent of Darcie Kent Vineyards in California’s Tri-Valley. When […]
