Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019!

It's hard to believe how quickly this year flew by, right? Personally, I feel like 2018 just began a few months ago, but I suppose that's just how time works the older we get, isn't it?

This year I started my Wishes and Wine account and I think it's one of the things I'm most proud of from 2018. I've always loved wine, but I've learned so much more about it from creating that Instagram account, and I'm excited to see how my wine knowledge continues to grow now that I have started this blog.

Wine is such a beautiful thing to be passionate about. As Wine Folly says, "Wine = Science + Art," which is so true. I'm definitely not science savvy, but I can appreciate how much work goes into making wine and how the tiniest differences in winemaking can make for a big difference in flavor.

I hate to use the term "New Years Resolution," because that implies that it's only a goal I've set because the clock is starting over again, but I'm always a sucker for goal setting around this time of year. I have some 2019 goals that include more traveling, spending more time with friends, branching out in my wine education, and writing more. I also want to focus on fitness, so I can eat wine and cheese without feeling the guilt!

With that said, I am wishing you the happiest last few hours of 2018. I'll be popping a bottle of Sparkling Rosé after dinner and will be sure to post about how I ring in the New Year! See you next year, friends!

Best,

Lyssa
