Happy Sunday! I’m sharing this week’s picks in wine, food, lifestyle, design and travel. 25 pinot noirs to drink this year, luxury resorts across the world that you can actually afford, and what lessons potato chips can teach you about wine (you read that right)!
So Many Spring Salads
Nothing better than a spring salad with seasonal ingredients — asparagus, sugar snap peas, radishes, and more are at their peaks.
Greek Isles Guide
I still haven’t been, y’all! Researching for my next trip 🙂 Out of the thousands of the islands in Greece, this is a group not to miss.
Potato Chip Wine Lessons
Potato chips are actually a great learning tool for pairing wine and food. They’re an ideal way of isolating simple taste characteristics — saltiness, tartness, sweetness, and spice/heat.
25 Pinot Noirs for 2024
If you’re a Pinot person, like me, then this is for you! When you’re searching for your next favorite bottle, track down one from this list that was tasted and vetted at VinePair.
TikTok’s Viral Packing Tip
I am a crazy organized packer so this Excel spreadsheet tracker is quite appealing to me — in an insane way. Check it out.
Dying Tuscan Village Turned Modern Resort
This place looks ridiculous! All it takes, apparently, is several hundred million dollars to turn an 800-year-old abandoned village into a five-star vacation destination.
Surprisingly Affordable Luxury Resorts
I know, “affordable” and “luxury” don’t often go together. But this link shares luxury hotels with true amenities in some of the world’s most beautiful locales for about $300 per night. Move fast — I just looked at the one in Lake Como for a summer trip and it’s already sold out!
Hope you have a wonderful and relaxing rest of your weekend!

Love that Bloodroot made the Pinot list!
