This bottle was a thoughtful gift from my family, brought back from their recent trip to Italy. It’s always special to receive a wine with a little story behind it. A glimpse of a place through someone else’s travels. I opened the Falanghina on a quiet afternoon, curious to discover its character. From the very first sip, it was bright and refreshing. The kind of wine that instantly transports you to sunlit vineyards in southern Italy. Elegant yet approachable, it has a crisp, aromatic quality that made it perfect for enjoying on its own or paired with something simple. Moments […]

Slow Sunday Rituals – Cozy Moments to Reset
Sundays are meant for slowing down. No alarm, no rush – just soft, unhurried moments that set the tone for the week ahead. My favourite way to begin is with a warm cup of coffee on the balcony, wrapped in a blanket, breathing in the crisp morning air. The quiet of those early hours has a gentle way of grounding me before the day unfolds. I keep everything simple. Soft loungewear, warm socks, maybe a knit sweater. Nothing complicated, just comfortable pieces that make me feel at ease. I sit, sip slowly and let the morning light settle in. As […]

Pizza & White Wine
A Chardonnay-Fiano Evening Sometimes you don’t need a big menu. Today it was simply pizza and a glass of Chardonnay-Fiano from Apulia. The wine is soft, fruity, and uncomplicated – exactly the kind of bottle you can open without to much thought. It paired best with the simple things: Margherita – fresh and classic, it really lets the fruitiness of the wine shine. White Pizza ( Bianca) – no tomato sauce, just cheese; works beautifully with the wine’s light acidity. Vegetable Pizza – zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms; brings out the wine’s fruitniness even more. Seafood-Pizza – shrimp or tuna; perfect […]

Cozy Evening with a Glass of Silvaner
Some evenings don’t need much to feel special. The rain hits the window softly, everything slows down, and the world outside fades a little. It’s not about doing anything planned – just letting the moment be what it is. I opened a bottle of Silvaner and poured myself a glass. Light, fresh, with just the right amount of crispness. No big dinner, no occasion – just a simple glass that matched the mood. Some wines demand attention. Others blend into atmosphere like a background song you love. This was one of those. Wine Notes: Wine: Silvaner – Germany Color: Pale […]

Grauburgunder at Lake Walchsee
We treated ourselves to a relaxing weekend at Lake Walchsee. A resort with heated pool, sauna, and massages – it’s just the right thing to unwind. Surrounded by mountains, and fresh air, and pure nature. The sunset over the mountains was especially beautiful – that warm light makes everything feel calmer. And in the morning, the sunrise was equally stunning; it felt as if nature was slowly waking up the day. I’m one of those people who likes to get up early and go for a walk – it’s especially peaceful in the mountains. It’s not everyone’s thing, but for […]
