Add the cocoa powder, sugar, and coffee into the cream until smooth. Add the vanilla extract last. Allow the mixture to cool to desired consistency. Ideally, it should be spreadable.

Prepare the espresso and pour into your server or mug immediately. Add the chocolate ganache to the espresso and stir vigorously until the chocolate is totally dissolved.

5

If making an iced mocha latte, pour desired milk over the espresso and chocolate mixture and stir. Follow it up with a couple of ice cubes and whipped cream as a topper.

6

For a warm mocha, pour the steamed milk over the chocolate and espresso mixture and stir gently. Add whipped cream and a cocoa powder dusting over the top for garnish.

A wine blending class at Chateau Ste. Michelle mig A wine blending class at Chateau Ste. Michelle might have been the most fun I’ve had in a while.

I’ve really come to enjoy wine tastings over the past year, but this took things to a completely different level.

Put a group of people together with totally different wine backgrounds, hand us glasses, blending notes, and maybe a little too much confidence... and somehow that’s where the magic happens.

None of us fully knew what we were doing, which honestly made it even better.

Turns out one of the best ways to learn about wine... is to blend in. 🍷

Thank you, Ste. Michelle, for such a memorable experience.

I first saw the Lelit Bianca in action at @worldof I first saw the Lelit Bianca in action at @worldofcoffeeusa but getting to actually spend time with it here made it feel so much more approachable.

There’s something different about seeing a machine on a convention floor versus having a barista walk you through it shot by shot.

I also finally got to try Fellow’s espresso setup, which honestly has been a bit of a dream machine for me.

As someone who spends a lot of time thinking about coffee, gear, and the rituals around both, experiences like this always leave me with more questions—and usually a few story ideas too ☕

We decided to fly into Walla Walla, even though it We decided to fly into Walla Walla, even though it’s only a four-hour drive from Seattle. The one-hour flight felt worth it, especially given our distaste for long drives.

Arriving at the tiny airport, with just two flights a day, set the tone for the kind of trip it would be.

San Diego was the opposite. I was traveling solo this time, which shaped the experience too. The airport was busier, the pace faster. Not LAX, but still a journey.

And yet, both places slowed me down in ways I didn’t expect.

Quick Sip Summary ☕
* I expected slow travel in Walla Walla and a faster pace in San Diego, but both offered the same kind of meaningful connection.
* Through wine tastings, conversations, and unplanned moments, each place encouraged me to slow down in different ways.
* It reshaped how I think about travel, showing that slower, more personal moments can exist anywhere.

Not many people know this, but before I became a w Not many people know this, but before I became a writer I almost went into agriculture.

Which might explain why wine finally started to make sense once I stopped reading tasting notes and started standing in vineyards.

Because at the end of the day…
wine isn’t just a drink. it’s farming. 🍷🌱

I wrote a little about that realization in my newest piece on Baked Brewed Beautiful.
