Chris and I came to the Santa Ynez Valley because Chris and I came to the Santa Ynez Valley because of a shared interest in wine. Somehow, that interest also led us to trying something completely new together.

At @buttonwoodwinery , Chris rode Belle for his first-ever horseback ride, while I was paired with Banana Bread for my first time back on a horse since my Girl Scout days nearly 20 years ago.

Neither of us arrived in Santa Ynez expecting horseback riding to become part of the story, but it ended up being one of the experiences we talked about most afterward.

I love when reporting on a place takes me somewhere I didn’t expect to go.

My first story for Food Republic is live! ☕️ My first story for Food Republic is live! ☕️

With thousands of locations and seemingly endless ways to customize a drink, there’s a lot that keeps customers coming back. But there are also a few complaints that come up again and again.

I took a look at 12 of the most common ones, including everything from prices and wait times to what actually ends up in your cup.

What’s one thing you would change about your Starbucks experience?

Paso Robles is known for its wineries, but the reg Paso Robles is known for its wineries, but the region's story extends well beyond the vineyard.

For this piece, I explored local coffee shops, regenerative lavender farming, mushroom cultivation, family-friendly attractions, and vineyards rooted in an ancient seabed.

Along the way, I learned what sets quality mushroom coffee apart, how regenerative farming helps restore the land, and why the region's landscape plays such an important role in its wines.

The full story takes a closer look at the places, people, and discoveries that reveal another side of Paso Robles. Read it at the link in bio.

This wine stop is in Capital Hill. A friend who li This wine stop is in Capital Hill. A friend who lives in the area recommended @theshopagora, and I was so happy she did.

This Greek wine bar allowed me to try Greek wines, which I haven't had before. This is something I've started valuing, tasting new wines when I have the chance. It allows you to expand your palate and your mind. It's especially helpful while I'm fully immersed in my wine studies to get to associate a taste with a specific region or grape I'm learning about.
