No Way, Rosé

Could this be a second chance worth savoring?

Rosa

Don’t get me wrong - I’m thrilled that Nonna left her winery to my sisters and me, but I’m terrified, too. With Allegra and Bianca both out of the country, the responsibility falls totally on me - and what if I’m not up to the challenge? Now my ex, Jake Wright, is offering to help out, but that’s terrifying in a different way. Working side by side is bringing all those old feelings back to the surface, and I’m falling for him all over again. But does our partnership have a future, or is heartbreak on the horizon?

Jake

I’ve been away from our hometown for ten long years. Now I’m back, and working with Rosa is both the best and worst thing that’s ever happened to me. We’re saving her family winery one day at a time - and giving in to the heat between us one night at a time, too. But I’m afraid this pairing has an expiration date…

POUR DECISIONS

https://books2read.com/Pour-Decisions

Meet the Martinelli sisters: Rosa, Bianca and Allegra. These partners in wine have just inherited a once-storied winery in the heart of Napa Valley. They’re living the dream, right?

Not so fast! Because, as it turns out, not everybody is happy for them. And that includes their Uncle Geno who’d assumed the property would come to him.

There are hoops to jump through, barrels to get over, and a mountain of regulations they'll have to scale. But these sisters are crushing it—and we don’t just mean the grapes. They’re making wine, falling in love, and working together to restore their inheritance to its former glory, one pour decision at a time.

Mug Shot: Vacay Mug

 

Every day is a good day for a vacay, but today more than most since I'll be heading out on a trip in a couple of days. And yes, there will be beaches! 

I found this mug at Goodwill. I love the vintage look of it. It feels very eighties to me. Or maybe nineties? I don't know. Those were my Mommy Years. That whole period is rather a blur. ESPECIALLY from a fashion perspective.

Mug Shot: Squirrel Mug

 

So, funny thing about this mug. I don't know where it came from. My best guess is that it was left behind by a previous tenant in the last place we lived, and mistakenly packed and brought to Texas with us when we moved here. 

Which is ironic and annoying because space was at a premium when we were packing up, and I'd reluctantly let a lot of other mugs go. At least one of which I kind of regret. But anyhow...

This is kind of a cute mug. I suspect it's Japanese, given the flowers. And it's got a squirrel on it, which is ironic, as well. We have a LOT of squirrels where we live now. Gray, red, black, white--although I haven't seen the white ones in a while. My husband has befriended one of the squirrels who'd shown up to eat the birdseeds (that he originally was putting out for the birds). This squirrel (not the one in the picture) actually comes when he's called and would probably eat out of our hands if we were stupid enough to try it. We're not. 

Anyway, "bright eyed and bushy tailed" is probably as good a motto for your morning drink as anything, I guess. 

Mug Shot: Sorry, Not Sorry Mug

 

There's really not much to say about this mug (which was another Goodwill find). I like the size and the heft of it. I like the satiny, not quite matte finish, and the unglazed bottom. And, as for the message? t think that fits the mood of the day PERFECTLY. 

Mug Shot: Bling Mug

 

I bought this mug recently. No particular reason. I just liked it. It's cute, and blingy, and BIG. My only complaint is that I'm left-handed and this is very much a right-handed mug. Assuming you want to actually see the P. 

But such is life.

I'm not really a pink person, but this spoke to me.
