    A Day at Scribe Winery

    June 22, 2015travel

    A few of my best gals from my time in San Francisco and I got together to visit Scribe Winery in Sonoma. One of us had the idea to go to Scribe so we all gladly followed suit! I had seen the winery all over my Instagram feed, so I was pretty familiar with the place and was excited to finally visit.

    I drove from Sacramento to meet everyone and it only took me an hour and some change – not bad! When arriving at the vineyard, a long row of palm trees guide you to a dilapidated hacienda that makes you feel like you are on a back road in Cuba instead of Sonoma. It’s quite beautiful. Keep going and it leads you to the top of the hill, where the tasting room and picnic tables are. Once I got out of the car, it felt like I had arrived at day camp. But the grown up, hip version of day camp and it was exactly what the doctor ordered.

    Once we checked in, our host for the afternoon gave us the history of the property (dating back to 1858 all the way through Prohibition) and about the people behind Scribe. The name? Founder Andrew Mariani and his team consider themselves “scribes” of the land and the winery is a testament to that. Once we were made aware of what makes Scribe so unique, we were introduced to the wines we would be tasting: the Estate Riesling, Chardonnay, Skin Fermented Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. A nice bonus was that we were treated to a cheese/snack board and it was the perfect compliment to all of the wine we sampled.

    I enjoyed each wine we tasted but my favorite was the Skin Fermented Chardonnay. There are only a handful of Chardonnay’s that I actually like, and the aging process of this one really makes it special. Almost everyone became a member of Scribe’s wine club, so I know this will be a great place for all of us to regroup over summer and for seasons to come.

    Enjoy some photos from our day under the Sonoma Sun!

    What I like most about Scribe (besides the wine) is that they let you have the kind of experience that you want to have. Meaning, we were really enjoying each other’s company and despite having a set time block because of all of the appointments Scribe had booked, they were accommodating and let us hang out a bit longer. There’s nothing worse than feeling rushed!

    A few tips before you plan to make the trek out to Scribe:

    • The tasting fee is $25 per person.
    • If you become a member of Scribe’s Viticultural Society, you are allowed a certain amount of guests depending on your membership, so you may be able to waive the tasting fee if you group is small enough.
    • As a member you also get invited to special events and dinners at the property and in neighboring cities.
    • Reservations are required, so you must get in touch via email or phone to plan your visit.
    • Kids are welcomed, so long as they don’t disturb other guests.
    • Bring your pups, too (and a leash)!

    This is the mood I am embodying all week as I talk This is the mood I am embodying all week as I talk back to the mean girl in my own head! That bitch always shows up right when I “get ready” to do something. What about you? Let’s face em together. 

There is no right time.
There is no cheat code. 
You just have to humble yourself, frickin show up and  DO IT.
It can be as fun or regimented as you decide so long as you are moving in a forward direction, a direction that takes you closer to that goal.

Are you waiting for the right time? And no, I’m not asking for a friend. I’m asking for myself. There will be no more ideas living in a notebook until it “feels good.” If it feels good, it ain’t growth or taking US higher!

Celebrate the win in advance if you have to. Whatever gets you going (yes, I believe in dessert first).

This week, L E T ‘ S 👏🏾 G E T 👏🏾 I T !  #levelupshowup
    WHAT HAS SNOWMAGEDDON TAUGHT ME? That there is po WHAT HAS SNOWMAGEDDON TAUGHT ME?

That there is power in community and Dallas reminds me a lot of Sacramento right now. Shoutout to @dallasites101 for going ALL OUT with their resources. 

That love will always save the day and maybe not in the way you think but just in the way you need. 

That having no power in or out of unit for days and not being able to leave because the roads are so bad is no fucking joke. Talk about a reality check and gratitude break on so many fronts. 

That I really need to get my emergency kit to include “Snowy Conditions” and get a damn shovel + boots. Maybe a truck instead of the Mini? 🚙

Who knew it got like this in Dallas?! 🤯🤯🤯 I didn’t. AT ALL. We’re beyond blessed to have a warm and safe place right now with food, hot water and more.

Prayers up 🙏🏾for everyone that is going through it during this time and for those that still don’t have power, that can’t get to loved ones and those that are having a hard time dealing with this on top of the fact that we’re in a global pandemic. I always say the new year truly starts in February, but it looks like it might be March this time. 

I heard it’s going to be 72 and ☀️next week… y’all, I can’t make this stuff up! 

Are you affected by the weather?! Where are you located?

    Happy Monday, y’all! What is going on? Well, her Happy Monday, y’all! What is going on? Well, here are answers to your questions (😆😆):
◾️Yes, it’s snowing in Dallas...it’s 12 degrees right now. And it’s gonna be cold with potentially more snow this week. WTF 
◾️We had power but now it’s off again...daytime is okay but night time sucks.
◾️I have on a fleece under here but of course when I posed, the sleeves pulled up in the coat (now I get the thumb hole concept...). I don’t own boots for this so my California is showing! ☀️🕶🌴
◾️ @lifeofrudytheboston HATES it as you can tell from his face...but he managed to run for at least 5 min with a pack of other dogs at the park. Thank the LAWD.
◾️ Being snowed in in a city that doesn’t do snow feels crazy. But it’s kind of nice and this will make a helluva story one day.

How’s your Monday going? Tell me somethin good! 🥶❄️☃️

I had another influencer tell me that once. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I haven’t ever nor will I claim to be one, but there’s something about personalizing a space and leaving no corner untouched that gives me a rush! And I will share it as long as I feel like it. 🤣 Small spaces are my jam, and in true Thursday fashion, I had to throw it back to the first place that truly got the wheels turning for me!

I called it the treehouse because it was on the 2nd floor and it was surrounded by trees! The only drawbacks were street parking, no laundry (fluff + fold, hello!) + the lack of counter space for a chef like me, but I made it work with a piece of wood that cornered the sink as well as a drop leaf table that was attached the wall. This space made it to @apartmenttherapy (linked the feature in my bio if you’re curious) and it affirmed my love of small spaces, as you’ve seen over the years. Fast forward to today — and I’m at it again! I’ve got a living room + bedroom on my hands. One is 50% complete. I’ll be sharing more next week and can’t wait to hear what you think!
