I am always on the search for my next delicious meal, can you relate?  My husband Philip and I have been on this journey of food enlightenment for some time now. Naturally, as our palates expand, so do our interests.

Lately, we’ve been really into wine. Wine checks all of our interest boxes. Travel, History, Gathering, and Culture.

Somehow wine has woven this beautiful web in our life, and everything seems to be connecting. 

Our plans for Traveling out of the east coast in 2020 seemed to disappear until we discovered California whites. Our love of history seemed to have reignited when we Tasted a Chenin Blanc from South Africa.

Gathering with other likeminded people appeared to be a pipe dream until we started tasting wine via zoom calls. We were missing culture while stuck at home until we started following these wine shops on social media.

Each shop brings something valuable to our exploration of the wine world. These are all small businesses, and the wine buying happens in-house, which means the selection speaks volumes and is unique. Phil and I want to implore you to check these five shops out. They are gorgeous and full of treasures.
