I’ve been a bit of a busy bee over the last couple of months balancing work, a (sort-of) social life, blogging and, more recently, a wine qualification. Yeah, that’s right, you’re now looking at a WSET Level 1 Wine award-holder! You might remember me mentioning in my Mother’s Day Gift Guide that I was...
The sun isn’t the only thing that’ll be making you blush this Wednesday! This week for Wine Wednesday, I’ve picked a fabulous blush sauvignon rosé from Villa Maria that is sure to be perfect for summer sipping. If you’re looking to give a new rosé a try this week then you’re definitely going to...
This Wine Wednesday I’m exploring the world of Lebanese wines – starting with an incredible red from the oldest winery in Lebanon…the Reserve du Couvent from Château Ksara. Read on to discover my thoughts on my first ever Lebanese wine. This post contains an item that was given to me as a press sample as...
Wine Wednesday continues with a red wine from Journey’s End…Kendal Lodge. A mix of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, Kendal Lodge is a great wine at an even greater price. If you’re on the lookout for a new red wine to try this Wednesday then this could be right up your street. This...

With our favourite cocktail bars being a no-go for the time being, why...
It’s cocktail hour here on F O and this time I’m sharing a citrus-spice twist on a French 75. After all, if there’s a time of the year to spice your classic cocktails up then it’s got to be during the festive season. This post contains an item that was gifted to me (marked with an asterisk)....
Let the festivities continue! This time I’m talking gifts. It’s that time of year when we’re all thinking ‘oh god, Christmas is getting awfully close isn’t it? What am I going to get so-and-so?!’. Unless you’re one of those incredibly well organised Christmas gift buying bosses..which I most certainly am not. So for anyone...
We’re going dark and fruity this time for Wine Wednesday with the Dark Horse Merlot. Dark Horse are a fairly new brand to me but they’re one that has quickly become a go-to of mine as well. I tried their rosé a few months back when it had a discount on in Tesco (and...
It’s been a hot minute since the last Wine Wednesday, I know. And that most definitely is not because I haven’t been drinking wine (because I’ve actually been trying plenty of new wines over the last couple of months).
