Best ever year in Review: All 12 Monthly Fun Wine Resolutions
Start a New Year any day of any month!! Cheers!
Here’s to monthly fun wine resolutions!
Wait! What’s that?!?!?
Let’s talk about it!!
This is a year in review.
The fantastic and fun monthly resolutions have been completed for now. It occurred to me, that there was no way to have all of them together. If you happened upon the monthly resolution in February, you did not know what the later months held.
(Hint: You could also just click on the category Monthly Fun wine Resolutions below the title. )
Some of the later months had an annoying long list of what came before. Oh well. The entire list is here. Skip over should you want.
The back story:
(Spoiler alert: Some of the months have a shortened verion of this.)
A few years ago, I decided that all of these New Year’s resolutions of exercise more, do more, be more, and weigh less were horrific. They were mind numbing and depressing.
Everyone was suggesting too much deprivation and self-improvement at some, quite honestly, arbitrary time of the year. It put on so much unnecessary pressure and stress.
That was the year I decided to have a silly and fun resolution. My resolution to have more lemongrass (yep, it’s true) could have been handled better. I thought it sounded ridiculous enough, but I had no idea how to cook it. In retrospect, I also am not sure how much more joy it would have added to my life regardless.
Wine Resolutions hold promise for good times and more joy!
To achieve this goal, I suggested a resolution for each month ! No more: OH NO, I SCREWED UP MY RESOLUTION AND ITS ONLY THE 3RD DAY OF THE YEAR.
Do them in any order. Feel virtuous that you have completed a New Year’s Resolution. Woo!
Click here for January. The first wine resolution was about Chardonnay wine and comparing Old World and New World wines. This one is the back story, and why resolving to eat more lemongrass offered no joy.
Click here for February. This resolution was all about Champagne. No downside to finding something to celebrate with Champagne. (Use this one if you want to help with this month’s CELEBRATE something resolution.)
Click here for March. March was all about the Beaujolais.
Click here for April. This resolution was about Riesling wine. It wears so many different hats. It also can totally mess with people who are trying to do a deductive blind tasting (that means they are trying to figure out what wine it is.)
Click here for May. We travelled to Spain. Such great value wines there.
Click here for June. That was an easy one. It was how not to be a lemming about wine. Do not be a blind follower.
Click here for July. That was falling in love with Pinot Noir, even if it can be a heartbreaker.
Click here for August. That was having fun with Albariño wines. It was so fitting, because the made up wine holiday of National Albariño Day was August 1st. Made up wine holidays is a great way to celebrate wine!
Click here for September. I went way down the rabbit hole for this one. It was finding your way around the maze of French wine labels and rules.
Click here for October. It was about discovering Orange wine (also known as skin contact.) I went orange themed for those in the United States who are very into pumpkins and Halloween. Good info for all though.
Click here for November. This penultimate (I am all over this word) monthly wine fun journey was raising your wine knowledge with a Valpolicella Italian wine guide. There are different levels of this wine, one of which is my favorite.
Click here for December. This was called the Ultimate Ridiculously easy and fun New Year’s wine Resolution for December!! Celebrate all things wine, maybe even with wine.
AND NOW..
Resolve to celebrate something every day!
I have a friend who told me that “Every day you don’t celebrate is a day wasted. “
No need to feel pressured, but it should be a goal.
Make it stand out
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Enjoy! Cheers!
