Oh Friday. We officially made it. Not that I even really know what day it is. I woke up Wednesday, and I knew for certain it wasn’t Friday or Saturday… so I had to check my phone to confirm. With the days blending into one another, I’m looking forward to a change this weekend….

We obviously don’t have much planned…. working some more on our backyard, taking walks, and enjoying the slower pace of life. Yet, when 5pm hits today, I’m pouring a libation to celebrate the conclusion of week two of being quarantined… and I hope you’ll somewhere, somehow, join me in a big ol’ virtual cheers. Because, we could all use some sense of community at this point.

Given that, I’ve rounded up some of our personal favorite wines (red, white, rosé, + bubbly….) and shared five easy cocktails that we love. Most of the wines can be found at any Bev Mo, Total Wine, or a grocery store…

Cheers friends!
