the story behind bsol

I’m Vicki, a sparkling wine lover with a mission to prove that there's always a reason to celebrate. I believe every moment, big or small, deserves a toast accompanied by a celebration!

This wasn’t always the case, though. 

I used to think you had to wait for the BIG moment and for everything to line up perfectly to have the celebration.  

When you come into Bubbly Side of Life, ask me about the gold plated Tinker Bell plates that I’m sure made a Goodwill shopper very happy! 

Thanks to those Tinker Bell plates and a Sales Manager telling me when my accomplishments were worthy of celebrating, I realized that I can celebrate any moment at any time...because there’s always a reason to celebrate.

There’s always a reason to celebrate

It’s the little moments in life that add up to the big moments.

You don’t have to wait for it all to be perfect, you can pop that bottle and celebrate now. 

And then again and again…and again until you’re celebrating the big moment!  Stop waiting for the perfect moment to pop that bottle.

And yes, I have always loved sparkling wine.  Any beverage with bubbles is superior in my opinion.  So clearly wine with bubbles would be. I have traveled and enjoyed toasting to random moments with Cava in Spain, sparkling wine in England, Canada, Mexico and all across the US.  

Diving deep to learn as much as I could about wine, especially sparkling wine, I became a Certified Cava Educator, earned my Level 2 certification from Wine and Spirits Academy and ventured off to Oregon for a couple years to work directly in the wine industry.  

Now that I am back in my home state of Illinois, back in the city (Downers Grove)  where I started my career many (many) years ago, I’m beyond excited to share my sparkling wine passion and celebrate with you.  

What moment in your life can we celebrate together?  

Stop by Bubbly Side of Life to enjoy a glass, buy a bottle or book a wine tasting experience to celebrate the moment.  

It’s about seizing the day, creating memories with the ones you love, and always looking for the positive.

 It’s such a great reminder that there are so many reasons to celebrate in life. That’s what I have enjoyed most about the Bubbly Side of Life. I’ve taken this mindset and incorporated it into my professional and personal life. We even find the smallest reasons to celebrate within my family now. It’s about seizing the day, creating memories with the ones you love, and always looking for the positive. I’ve also learned so much about sparkling wine that I never knew before.”
