As we head into fake spring, I’ve been leaning into cozy evenings at home (what else is new) with a glass of red wine from @frankfamilyvineyards, red carpet–worthy wines from Napa Valley.  Founded by former Disney Studios President Rich Frank and Emmy award-winning journalist Leslie Frank, the winery is where Hollywood storytelling meets the soul of wine country.  Before founding the winery in 1993, Rich spent decades bringing iconic films like Pretty Woman, The Lion King, and The Little Mermaid to the big screen. Eventually, he traded red carpets for red wines and more than 30 years later, Frank Family Vineyards has become one of Napa Valley’s most beloved destinations.  As a former California girl, I’ll always take the chance to highlight wines from Napa, one of my favorite places in the country. Tonight’s pairing: low lighting, truffle popcorn, a little cheese and grapes, and a glass of Lewis Vineyard Pinot Noir.  It doesn’t get better than this.🍷 ✨  #frankfamilyvineyardspartner #winenight #cozyevenings

Stepping into my “it’s almost spring” era. 🌷✨  Moving to a coastal town at the tail end of fall was an interesting time because it was freezing within a week of being here. Meaning, we have yet to experience a true summer on the coast. Prepare to be sick of me because I don’t think I’ll ever shut up about living in such a beautiful place.  Home is where the ocean is.🌊  #plymouthma #southshorema #coastalliving
