West Coast Pinots

Two to recommend. Maybe more to come...it's fall and the perfect time for pinot noir. This season, I want my pinots reliable (bye bye Burgundies under $65), modern with traditional inspiration (sturdy fruit with balanced alcohol and good acidity), and velvety (melt in your mouth tannins). So, classically sexy, I guess.

Wise Advice From Mama Hut

Been overwhelmed lately trying to consolidate and organize clothes/stuff. Big picture...this is a fortunate problem to have. When talking to my mom she shared her new motto with me:

KEEP.

SHARE.

DONATE.

TOSS.

I dig it. Deep breaths. Everything has its place.
