  • Happy birthday to me!! 🥳 Swipe to decipher my age🤣
If anyone was looking for me… I’m living my best life!
☀️
Took a few weeks off for some annual time of reflection and am enjoying the Portuguese sun AND delicious wines😉
35… I’ll keep it short and sweet… The last year has been a rollercoaster ride. I’ve grown more than ever, cleansed myself of everything toxic, had amazing experiences, got myself an incredible puppy… I’m excited for what is to come because baby baby baby I’m on fire 🔥

As promised here my first #Rueda wine tip! On this photo I’m drinking the @vinasalceda Verdejo 2022.
🍇
Honestly one of the reasons I love the wines from Rueda so much is because of their price quality ratio. For less than 10 euro you get an incredibly tasty wine that works for any occasion.
☀️
These days we’ve had sunny days in Amsterdam and boy was this wine a thirst quencher! Tropical fruits like mango, juicy acidity, a long finish. Bookmark this wine for the next sunny day!
❤️
That’s it for now guys! Have a favourite Rueda wine that you want me to taste? Drop it in the comments!
