AND THEY'RE BACKed with the "sam seal of apprOval" WINE SPLURGE Wine Splurge is my absolute FAVORITE. I partnered with Wine Splurge to bring better options to you all when it comes to tastings! By booking a tasting on their site, I can curate a very specific wine tasting experience from shops local to you - or your favorites all over the country if you plan to take a trip. This is by far one of the greatest tasting experiences you'll ever have! TAKE ME THERE WASHINGTON WINES AMBASsADOR Ask me about a Washington State focused tasting. I promise you'll love it! I'M INTERESTED DRY FARM WINES For thousands of years, people made wine with just two ingredients: grapes and time. They harvested with their hands and gently pressed, crafting a fermented elixir that was said to cure illness and open the spirit. Then, in the modern age, demand for wine grew. Strong sales incentivized wine companies to cut corners. Today, many wines contain high levels of alcohol, sugar, sulfites, thickeners, dyes, and other additives. Wine made by Nature is lost. Dry Farm Wines is bringing that wine back. Shop my link to receive penny shipping! TAKE ME THERE AMAZON FAVS From wine gadgets to content creation tools, my Amazon list is a one stop shop!
