    Every Fourth of July, Atlanta hosts the world’s largest 10k: the Peachtree Road Race. People travel from all over to run this historic race, now approaching its 51st year. I’ve run it four times. This year, by far, was my worst performance. I thought that, even though I didn’t train for the distance, I’d run it before so I should be able to run it again. I was wrong. Very wrong. Let me set the scene for you. It’s July in Atlanta. Even at 6:30am, when I arrived at the start line, the weather was

    My last post was all about OPC 2026; would you believe me if I said I flew home on a redeye from PDX and left the next day to visit the Finger Lakes? Because of course I did. I’d set myself up for almost two weeks of straight wine travel and I was not upset at it. A few months before, my dear colleague and friend Shomari reached out to me to see if I was interested in being a panelist for FLXcursion 2026. I wish y’all could’ve seen my face when I got the message. Speaking about wine was literall

    From my understanding, Oregon Pinot Camp is one of the most sought-after trips for wine professionals in the United States. It is three days packed full of vineyard visits, educational seminars, trade show-style tastings, and massive group dinners. Ever since I started working in the wine industry, I’d heard about how amazing OPC is. I couldn’t wait for my opportunity to go. Thankfully, I got that chance this year, along with 300 other wine professionals from all over the world. the dream of the

    My name is Jade and I’m a writer and a storyteller. I’m saying this more to myself than I am to y’all. To be a writer and a storyteller, I have to write and tell stories. The longer I let procrastination weigh on me, the less likely I am to do this as regularly as I want. So, this is me responding to the reminder I set on my phone to write every week. And what easier place to drum up some inspiration than my own journey through wine and where I currently stand in it. A lot of you have read throu

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Since I’ve gained some new subscribers here (hello, welcome, and thank you), I thought I’d take the time to tell my story of how I ended up as the low key wine nerd you see today. Ever since coming of (drinking) age, I wanted to learn about wine. Wine is what grown women drank at dinner. Wine is sexy. Wine is intellectual. In my early twenties, wine was a vast and heady topic to me. I didn’t know where to jump in. Part of me was happy to drink my big and bold Argentinian Cabs and live life. I re
