And just like many of you, we have favorite wines that we tend to reach for as the seasons change. Summer is for rosé sipping, fall is for the hearty whites and winter is made for the rich reds enjoyed fire-side. So as we slip out of summer and into fall, it’s time to trade our trusty rosé for something different. We love all wines, we really don’t discriminate when it comes to color or flavor. So when we were introduced to Verdejo (white wine) from the Spanish region Rueda we were certainly intrigued to try. One of the reasons we love fall so much is that life seems to slow down just a bit, with less vacation, travel and plans. It’s the perfect time to brush up on our hosting skills with more friends in town to invite over.

Michelle and I wanted to introduce you to 5 Things You Need In Your Life Right Now. We promise you will thank us later, especially since we found the secret to never having a hangover again.. 1. Bota Box Cabernet Sauvignon Yes, we love boxed wine. Don’t be shocked or start judging because you will be headed to the store after you finish reading this post to pick one up for yourself. We have been testing this wine for months, just for you, to make sure we were on point with this and we have some exciting news to tell you. This is the only wine that DOES NOT GIVE US A HANGOVER!! Yes you read that correctly. We also love Bota Box because it is an easy drinking wine, total crowd pleaser, has the equivalent of 4 bottles in one box, costs around $20 and its even eco-friendly!
