Resolutions, Chapter 2 | Feb 23rd, 2015

Unlike the 24% of Americans who always fail at keeping their resoultions, I’m still going strong on my bubbly guzzling sparkling wine commitment for 2015. That means February brought more than Valentine’s day, Daffodils, and springtime weather to Northern California–because it also...

About Laura Uncorked

I love wine and I love life. This blog is a hodge-podge combination of the two. Like many 20-somethings, I’m still figuring out just what I do (and don’t) know about vino. Too often, realizing how much I didn’t know gave me a headache worse than the morning after two bottles of Bordeaux, so I created Laura Uncorked to deliver a helpful, humorous window into the wine world. Whether I’m enjoying a fine young Beaujoulais, bargain-basement boxed wine, or just trying to figure out how to open Pinot Grigio without a corkscrew after a long day at work (Hey, we’ve all been there), the results will be here. Drink up. Cheers, LB
