Marisa's Healthy Kitchen

When my husband and I were first “just dating”, we went on a fabulous vacation out to Tahoe and Napa Valley! SO romantic and tons of fun. First was Tahoe, which is such a beautiful place with gorgeous views. Then we headed to Wine Country. We spent 4 beautiful days touring gorgeous vineyards and tasting lots of wine and yummy food. It was a very special trip 🙂

We had bought a couple bottles of small batch wine to take home and savour over the next few months. But since we don’t drink that often in our house, these stayed on the wine shelf for more than a few months. Time passed, we got engaged and married… we went on more vacations and brought back more special wine. haha But still some of the bottles, we were waiting for the right special occasion to come up.

This holiday season we were determined to drink them! We are super happy we did. The funny thing is, it wasn’t a special occasion, the way we had imagined it to be. It was a random night in December where I made dinner and we got to enjoy each others company. Thinking on it now, is there really a more special occasion than that? I love those relaxing nights and being able to focus on each other. So in the end, the wine made its way to a very special occasion after all!
