🌸 Yesterday was a tiring day, but today I’m feeling joy with this fruity, round Merlot rosé from Roussillon’s @mataburro.vins ⭐️ Its pretty-in-pink wax seal and minimalist label make me smile 💝Drinks more like an orange wine or a natural light red. This is my summer wine for sure 🥰 Anyone have other summer wine recs? 🍷 . . 👆Fun fact: “récoltant” or “R” tells you it’s an estate-bottled wine (same person grows the grapes and makes the wine); “négociant” or “N” means the wine is made by a third party, who may source grapes from multiple sources 🍇 #veronicainparis . . . . . #vinnature #vinvivant #vinbio #vinnaturel #naturalwine #glouglou #orangewine #vininaturali #vinonaturale #vinlibre #rawwine #naturligtvin #degustation #foodwinewoman #womeninwine #winewoman #womenwholovewine #frenchwine #roussillon #wineblogger #winetime #winelover #parisblogger #winetasting #wineclass #france #frenchwinelover #winetime #winewednesday May 21st is always a tough day for me. Seven years ago today I was brutally attacked by a guy who tried to rape and kill me with a machete. I fought him and I won, as some of you know. It’s one of a series of violent traumas that have in ways structured my life. So why this story with a picture of oysters and sparkling wine? Because for all the hardships that attack brought - a sometimes debilitating chronic injury, nightmares, periods of suicidal thoughts - it also brought me joy, because it made me stop and think hard about who I want to be while I’m still around. That’s what prompted me to change my diet, from eating industrial garbage to eating real food. To go from eating as a form of pain tied up with anxiety and body-image issues, to embracing eating as a form of joy. What I’m learning now in France is that joy takes time. Time to rest, to pause, to be instead of do. And that’s what the oysters represent. A Sunday of being with my husband and my dogs, of wandering, eating, drinking, of enjoying with no purpose and the biggest purpose: a happy life. What do you do to create joy? . . . . . #veronicainparis #eatrealfood #artisanalfood #farmtotable #womenspower #eatandenjoy #womeninfood #frenchliving #frenchwayoflife #lifeinfrance Paris + California 💕 . . . #veronicainparis #californiagirl #parisian #parisienne #lamour #loveinparis #beachlife🌴 #canallife Today’s Paris adventures🕵️‍♀️ It was rainy and gray and warm and sunny all at once.
