How to plan your birthday trip to France 🇫🇷 ~ all the brasserie French inspiration you can find! And thankfully for me, @brasserielundi is a refreshing welcome to our midtown neighborhood- offering fantastic happy hour M-F 3:30-6. Exactly what I needed to wrap up some work and dive into the itinerary for the upcoming celebration. And what I success I had, especially with the delicious Pinapple Gimlet, fresh oysters 🦪 (from the VA fantastique!) plus of course Truffle Parmesan pommes frites!

To continue my planning, their cocktails are delish, especially if you try the Royal Mist 🍸and must get back for a Kir Royale & French 75!

Check out their menu ➡️ so much to choose from and a beautiful walk down Peachtree 🍑- across from the @highmuseumofart @alliancetheatre and all the fabulous art opportunities in my city 🏙️

<SAVE this Post for your next Atlanta outing!!!>

When you visit - be sure to say hi to Africa, Kevin and the whole team! You’re in for an absolute treat! Merci beaucoup, y’all! 🥂

Peak into all @brasserielundi offerings! Plus specials

Their current happy hour menu includes the delicious Pinapple Gimlet and several other cocktail, wine, beer, etc. options!

If you can’t make it in time for happy hour, you can always try the Royal Mist 🍸+ Kir Royale & French 75! And so much more!

Cannot wait to return for a whole dinner! Look at these entrees + focaccia!

And the loveliest walk in my neighborhood - stroll by my church and all the beautiful features along the iconic Peachtree road 🍑 🌃 by @pour_atlanta

School may be back in session for some, but summer is still strong in the city!

My friends picked Atlanta for our reunion - even with the summer heat, we had ton of creative places to play!

🍔We started the weekend @wholefoodsatl to fuel our pool day and in midtown @farmburgermidtownatl below the store was the perfect post-flight snack before shopping!

☀️Blessed to live in midtown with an incredible pool & gym to kick off the weekend with some Friday Fitness then relax by the water as everyone arrives.

🥂 @colonysquareatl hosts Groovin’ on the Square the last Friday every month with @serenapastificio my go-to patio happy hour and Italian wine list & bites (and of course Colony Square has several options making it the best neighbor every day!)

👩🏻‍🌾 @piedmontgreenmarket artisanal farmers market every Saturday at the corner @piedmontpark from March through December with so many yummy breakfast options and fresh produce & gifts - my friends doubled back through @bluedonkeycoffee and welcomed @madregarcias Cubans- I can’t wait to get back! Plus beautiful jewelry and my favorite @justaddhoney tea company!

🎡We got lucky this summer with all the World Cup action. @martatransit was busy but swift getting us to the FIFA Fest! We toasted, walked & watched each country compete. @centennial_park great place to visit all year with tons to do around downtown!

🍻Back to Midtown - watch parties were packed so we settled close to home @emiliostacosandtequila with yummy pour from @modelousa greeting us at the door

☕️ Sunday sipping @refugecoffeeco and stroll around @highmuseumofart

🥞 Final brunch with our standard @saintscouncil fabulous service with Patrick and electric violin tunes before we said goodbye!

📍Where else have you gone around Atlanta this summer? So excited to see what we get into next this August!

You can find us in the A! And that we did! Atlanta can come out for a festival and boy did we for the 2026 FIFA Fan Festival Experience downtown at Centennial Olympic Park. It was the absolute epicenter for energy, futbol, fans & community to gather for games, chants, victory and even a little heartbreak through the fun.

Th city didn’t just host the World Cup — it came to life in floods of color for teams representing their country & culture. There were so many countries represented and every age celebrating the game together.

The Fest - they said more than 500,000 fans passed through the gates, though people had to reserve their spot with free passes welcoming you to interactive and top-notch sponsor displays and no line F&B vendors or bathroom options. It was crowded but beyond enjoyable to host our out-of-town guests and even bump into people you know!

Toasting to the day, Columbia came out fueled for a party and the Panama fans were also so nice! Even the security was handing out cold water for guests watching the games on the grass. Made me proud to have Atlanta as my home & can’t wait to see how the final matches play out!

If you do come to Atlanta & looking for a quick trip around the city - follow me for more posts of ATL + community, wine, events & several ways to fill any friends or family agenda!

Till then - viva…… your team & goooooallllll!!!!!! by @pour_atlanta

Valentines-Galentines-Lunar New Year-New Moon-International Women’s Day - They are my partners in wine!! Same fabulous friends, with even more toasts & celebrating!

Launching 2026 by getting back to all the things I love - for Valentine’s weekend & Lunar New Year of the Fire Horse, we toasted over a delicious meal, taking full advantage of my home, friends & vintage wines collected over the years.

When it comes to what we’re sipping - @therealleslieflynn started off the night popping a gorgeous magnum Champagne brut before we dove into @guyomarwinecellars Monsignor vertical tasting and ended with @jrexatl incredible cake and Cremant du Jura from @perrineswine. The dark #PasoRoblesWine paired perfectly with the sage butter sirloin, balsamic wine tenderloin, arugula beet salad, marinated mushrooms, baked fontina cheese & James’ chocolate masterpiece!

We saged the night away with my Ibiza souvenir and kicked off the lunar new year in high spirits! These talented people have started off 2026 in style! Cheers to my friends & partners in wine!!

What should our wine dinner theme be next!?!!

We gotta nourish to flourish - and that’s what we did! Back in my old Buckhead neighborhood last week, with stops at @yebobeachhaus & @lucianbooksandwine all while staying down the street from where we use to live @thesylvanhotel. How different but same everything always ends up being!

If you haven’t been to Lucian or it’s been a minute since Yebo, you must get back! Their menus, service & pairings are something you don’t want to miss!

Yebo - New American Coastal Cuisine by South African chef - eyed the Bolognese Tagliatelle, especially with the Ostrich addition - then the server suggested & it couldn’t have been better ragù blend with wild mushroom, spinach & Parmesan Reggiano. The starters were to die for, South African wines had so many options AND our server kept things fun by taking care of us with surprise orders making decisions easy! Plus, you must make time for dessert - even if you don’t have room - we had the mixed berry cheesecake savoring the white chocolate mousse with fresh berries & decadent raspberry glaze - such a great way to wrap an amazing time!

Then, finally crossed off my list Lucian Books & Wine - and wow! The word around town is right! This place certainly deserves Michelin recognition with the impressive & unique menu offerings, detailed wine listings, food and the Service! It’s a true treat and makes sense why so many frequent over & over! In the smaller dining room, we saw neighbors, regulars & coworkers who all rave about the food. I’ll never get tired of picking something new to order. Plus, the wine listings updates every 2 months - so many new pours I had never heard of & can’t wait to get back! Raising a glass to the staff & owner who took the time to notice when I was reading the menu & walk me through each order.

Then, to end the week, with pours back at the best address in Atlanta - finally to receive both Five Stars & Five Diamonds @stregisatl and finally checking out the bar @atlasbuckhead. Impressive drinks. Alluring ambiance. It was so great to return to a place I previously spent so much time. by @pour_atlanta

Cheers to the New Year with our Christmas Crémants! Toasting around France’s sparkling regions with delicious pours from Loire, Alsace, Bourgogne, Limoux & of course, Champagne! No better way to burst into the new year than bubbles!

Champagne sets the standard for sparkling wine and crémants follow the traditional method showcasing their own regional grapes and flavors at exceptional value + stunning color & mousse (aka the frothy mass of tiny bubbles that forms in a glass of sparkling wine).

One of the things I love about sparkling wine is the mousse - the overall effervescence & fizziness of the wine created by the carbonation.

I love pouring this spectacular sparkling wines during the holidays as they pair best with the food, company & mood!

Cheers to you, all we enjoyed in 2024 & what’s to come in 2025! #whatstocome #whattopournext #beautifuladventures #endingsbeginning #newyear2025 #poursomemore by @pour_atlanta
