Vicki takes tasting bubbly to a whole new level! I’ve always loved sparkling wines, mostly as a cocktail before a cocktail.

If you have the chance to do a tasting with Vicki at a winery, it’s an experience. She looks at bubbly through a different lens as a staple. And, she has resources for great finds that you would typically miss. If you have the good fortune of having her lead a virtual tasting, get ready. Vicki gives great insights, the background, tips and even recipes for sparkling wines. Be prepared to be wowed for an unforgettable bubbly experience!

Bubbly Side of Life has been such an uplifting brand to discover! The idea of consistently looking for reasons and ways to celebrate adds such an optimistic and cheerful tone to life.

Vicki can always find a reason to celebrate and I absolutely admire that! The world of wine can be intimidating and overwhelming, but Vicki has a way of making it completely accessible. Vicki isn’t going to tell you about wine in a pretentious way that makes the wine world feel even more daunting or out of reach. Vicki is going to help you explore and discover your own preferences in wine while offering practical knowledge to help you make better selections based on personal taste. And if you still end up picking a wine that doesn’t quite suit you…no worries! Vicki will help you pair the perfect boozy ice cube to make a less-than-ideal wine selection, something that is still enjoyable and worth celebrating 🙂 Cheers!
