Opened my first wine from my @firstleafwineclub bo Opened my first wine from my @firstleafwineclub box 🍷 Caduto dalle Nuvole Pinot Grigio from Garda Doc, Italy. I give it 4 stars for an every day wine. Citrusy but not too sweet with earthy undertones, very balanced

So I discovered I don’t own white wine glasses. I have red wine, beer glasses and a variety of cocktail glasses, but no white wine. I recently cleared out all my event swag glasses not realizing it left me without a simple white wine glass. Guess what I’m getting for Christmas??

Want to learn more about Firstleaf? I’ll add a link in my bio

Water Mark. Have you ever taken time to view these Water Mark. Have you ever taken time to view these sculptures up close? These 14 ft equine gargoyle structures are part of Scottsdale’s Indian Bend Wash. when water floods the area, water pours from the gargoyles’ mouth. 

Have you seen it during a flood? I’ve only seen them once and it was quite a few years ago (it’s been awhile since we’ve seen any rain in Scottsdale)

Finally a break from the Arizona heat which means Finally a break from the Arizona heat which means it’s finally patio season!! My favorite and this year I’ve been looking forward to it more than ever. We’ve opted for takeout over dine in since March (our own personal decision, decide what works for you) and are excited to start patio dining! There’s just something I love about sipping cocktails on a restaurant patio 🍹🍸🥃 @zuzu was one of the last restaurants we dined at before things started to change and if you’ve followed us for awhile, you know its one of our favorite places. #throwback 

Where should we patio dine first??
