My latest Sunday Seven — a bi-weekly roundup in wine, food, lifestyle, design and travel. A new tasting room finder, the pickle martini and a warm, minimalist home in Austin.


Pan Am Flies Again
Pan Am stopped flying in 1991, but still signifies the golden age of flying. Now, there’s a chance to experience Pan Am again during a special 12-day private jet trip in 2025. The “Tracing the Transatlantic” itinerary has stops in Bermuda, Lisbon, Marseille, London and Ireland.


Wide Open Spaces
A minimalist but warm family home in Austin. I love that this space is open and visually balanced with a strict neutral palette and gorgeous, natural materials.


Sip and Savor Your Next Experience
I’m excited to try this new tasting room directory from Wine Enthusiast! Whether you’re planning a wine country vacation or looking to explore local distilleries, it will help you decide where to sip and savor your next experience.


For Those Still Having a Tomato Moment
Tomatoes are gorgeous and at their peak in late summer. These recipes can help you make the most of this versatile fruit.


1-2-3 Wine Aroma Cheat Sheet
The world of wine aromas can be both intriguing and overwhelming. This link teaches you to start by assessing a wine’s three broad categories: primary, secondary, and tertiary aromas. This will help you recognize the types of characteristics you prefer and should look for when shopping for your next bottle.


America’s Best Towns
10 great towns with big personality and without the crowds. Loved seeing Richmond, Virginia, on the list. I here visit often for work and always enjoy exploring what’s new!


The Pickle Martini is Still Having Its Moment
Anyone who loves a dirty martini — it’s likely that the pickle martini could be your next drink!
Hope you have a wonderful and relaxing rest of your weekend!
