Sometimes, a pretzel and a pint is the best therapy for a rainy day. Stomachache so I slept like crap?!? Yeah.

… Worth it? Absolutely.

The first three pics from this years night (we got home a few hours ago, napped and came out to grab some green pizzas and beers).

Every other picture is from the year prior (we weren’t with Ryeson last year). And yes, it gets cuter and cuter. But next year I promise Ryeson will have a kilt again !

The other day I had a talk with my husband about my personal hobbies.

He has several - woodworking, baking, his Star Wars YouTube live, comic books, etc. 

I didn’t feel like I had any. Drinking 🍷and eating 🍲 aren't really hobbies, are they?!?

For me, yeah, it is. Yes, I get paid to write about restaurants, wineries, and breweries, but I love visiting new places and taking pictures. And I would do it even if I didn't get paid. 

Since we were stuck at home for a bit - I decided to try making pasta again (only my 3rd time), and even though it took half an afternoon to make *AND* clean up - I loved it. 

What are some of the things you enjoy doing, and would you call them hobbies?!?

The other day I had the opportunity to speak at the PackXplore conference in Santa Rosa (not pictured). I was excited about my presentation on creating an experience with wine packaging. 

It's always fun to talk about something you're passionate about. In this case it was easy because I truly believe that wine/etc packaging should be an extension of a brand.

More important, it should also help create an experience for e-commerce customers (9% of wine revenue is online sales). 

After my presentation, I had someone come up to me and tell me that it was obvious that I love what I do.

I can’t think of a bigger compliment.

That's what I want people to take away from my presentations – a feeling of excitement and possibility. For my excitment to rub off. That they can get started with whatever it is I am talking about.

---> Now, I want you to ask yourself. What about your industry are you really excited about?!?!

Find that part of your niche (if it's wine, what part of the wine industry are you & your customers in), and talk about THAT more.
