Wine Not? (A $300 Giveaway!)

Weekly Tasting

When first reached drinking age and started to dip my toes into a barrel of grapes, aka buying the cheapest wine I could find, I knew nothing about it except there were four kinds: red, white, bubbly, and pink. (Surprisingly, I didn’t like the pink stuff until I discovered the wonders of a good rosé later in life!)

Weekly Tasting

Early in my adult life, I noticed that some of the local grocery stores held weekly tastings, and I would always stop and try a thimble while doing my weekly shopping. Information is always absorbed best when more than one of the five senses is involved, so seeing the bottle, hearing the host describe the wine, smelling it, and tasting it all helped me start learning more about the different varietals and complexities in the glass (er, plastic cup).

Weekly Tasting

To this day, I still enjoy wine most when I am guided through a tasting. I’m excited to share the newest way to learn about wine in the comforts of your home: Weekly Tasting. Launching this week, Weekly Tasting sends four bottles of wine, tasting notes, and recipe pairings to your home, accompanied by a 10-minute tasting video hosted by a sommelier.

Weekly Tasting

By the end of the video, you’ll know more about the regions, varietals, and characteristics of each of the wines, plus you’ll have a better understanding of your own wine preferences.

Weekly Tasting

You can do the tasting all at once (like I did with my girlfriends) or you if you prefer you can open one wine at a time and resume the video on demand.

Weekly Tasting

Both of Weekly Tasting’s sommeliers are well-known women in the wine industry. Laura Maniec is one of only 32 female Master Sommeliers in the world. Elizabeth Schneider is a sommelier and has spent over 10 years in the wine industry; she also hosts the Wine for Normal People podcast. Their experience will help you better understand your palate.

Weekly Tasting

Of the four wines we tried, the fan favorite was the Torrontes, a grape I’ve never tried before. The bouquet was amazing – extremely floral and reminiscent of one of my favorite perfumes. I am not sure I would have picked up on the nose if I had just cracked this bottle open and sipped it with friends. We also loved the Guadalmare Morellino di Scansano, an Italian red blend, which our Sommelier Laura described as “the perfect wine to pair with pizza”. (YES!) The tannins cut through the fat, and it even smelled a little like tomato sauce. I am always amazed at the nose-to-brain recognition that sommeliers have!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
