Hey, thanks for stopping by! We're getting ready for snow-free weekend here in Minneapolis. Hurray! And here are a few things we've been thinking about.
FRIDAY FAVES - 3.25.22
- My mind is on sandal weather. What do we think about these bright pink marshmallow slides?!
- Hey, Justin Beaver!
- Wines aged under water? It's a thing!
- This tomato soup over on Wit&Delight looks luscious. Pair it with a wine from our Soup SHOP section!
- I love a terrazzo moment and these bookends are a DELIGHT. Actually, this entire Etsy store is a delight!
Have a lovely day!

Hello! I hope your week was awesome. The ground is thawing out here in Minnesota! Life is good. Now read this list of fun things!
FRIDAY FAVES - 3.18.22
- A pasta-themed tarot deck? I could get into that...
- I love this Instagram account that chronicles one woman's ritual of taking a long, daily walk. It's lovely. Oh, and she has amaaaazing long white hair!
- The best part of Easter—in my opinion—are those addictive little Cadbury mini eggs. So crackly and creamy! Here are 10 things you might not know about this seasonal snack.
- Speaking of Easter! Have you checked out our Easter + Passover SHOP section? Leslee has picked out a bunch of wines to go with whatever you plan on feasting on during the spring holidays.
- Candles shaped like little dumplings? Um, excuse me?!
Have a great weekend!

Welcome to Friday! I hope your week has been good and that your weekend is GREAT. Here's what we love on the internet right now!
FRIDAY FAVES - 3.11.22
- I'm SO intrigued by Opopop, which is "flavor wrapped" microwave popcorn. Excuse me?!
- Remember Ryan from the show The O.C.? The actor who played him—Ben McKenzie—has emerged as full-on anti-crypto currency evangelist. Fascinating.
- Girl Scout cookies + wine are a totally underrated pairing! Check out our blog post on the topic.
- I've always wanted one of these little mushroom lamps.
- Writer Doree Shafrir just started a newsletter geared toward moms who want to renew focus on their own lives (not just the lives of their kids). If you're a mother of young kids, especially, this is for you.
Thanks for reading!

You know that cold, gray period of time that drags on between Valentine's Day and summertime fun? That's Girl Scout cookie season! Cookies make a long winter much brighter, and if you add wine into the mix? Life is good.
We paired wine to five classic Girl Scout cookies, including their newest one, the Adventureful. Enjoy!
This delicately crunchy biscuit is frosted with the thinnest slip of zesty lemon glaze. So happy and bright! Pair it to Foris Moscato, a wickedly fresh and bright Oregon white with major key lime pie vibes. And it's only 7% alcohol!
Ahh, Thin Mints! Is there anyone out there who doesn't crave this cookie?! Devour a sleeve of them with the Clément et Florian Berthier Coteaux du Giennois, an Old World Sauvignon Blanc with lovely acidity and notes of grapefruit, white pepper, and—of course—mint.
The new Girl Scout cookie, the...

Goooooood morning! Head into your weekend with a few uplifting things we love right now. Enjoy!
FRIDAY FAVES - 3.4.22
- My friend, Molly, is an urban flower farmer. She sells bouquet subscriptions during the summer months and also peddles dahlia tubers that you can have shipped right to your door! Check her out at Northerly Flora. It's almost Spring!
- If you're feeling a little yucky about Russia right now, might I suggest watching The Great on Hulu? It's a hilarious, irreverant, and semi-historical series about Catherine (and Peter) The Great. "Huzzah!"
- I reaaaally want to try these sweet Korean pancakes.
- We'll be featuring amazing women in wine on our Instagram account all month, to celebrate Women's History Month. Check back each week! You will absolutely discover something new and inspiring each time.
- Leslee is all about the little happy dishes made here in Minneapolis by A Mano. Just look at these spoon rests!
That's all, folks!
