Today marks the start of week 4 as a 6th grade Engineering teacher. After being in a 7th grade Science classroom for the last 3 years, I am LOVING my new position so much! I always say that it is harder than it sounds to switch back from Summer mode to teacher mode, but I have some tricks that make the transition smoother. I like to think of it as Back-To-School time, but also Back-to-Wine Time!

When I come home from school, I have 2 hours before my husband also arrives, & this is my ME time! My me time is fueled by JaM Cellars Cabernet & Butter Chardonnay, & during my ME time I refuse to do anything but relax. After pouring myself a healthy glass of wine, I like to find a sunny spot with the pugs + my favorite book. I just started reading the Harry Potter books (I know I'm literally 20 years behind...) & they are so good for afterwook unwinding... I am totally transported to a new world with magic + wizards! Summer break might be over, but we still have 3 weeks left before it is technically Fall & I plan to squeeze out every last drop!

Never heard of JaM Cellars wines? JaM Cellars makes three easy-to-love, everyday California wines: Butter Chardonnay, JaM Cabernet & Toast Sparkling. Second-generation Napa Valley vintners John and Michele are the “J” + “M” in JaM Cellars. They made these wines in a style they love to enjoy anytime—whether that’s a special occasion, everyday celebration, or just a day of the week with a “y” in it (such a great reason to celebrate if you ask me)! My initials are JM too - so I tell myself that this wine was made for ME! And the best news? Under $20 and in a store right near you.

I like to always have a white & a red wine on hand - you never know when you need to feel a little fancy at dinner or just cheers to rocking a Tuesday! The Butter Chardonnay is rich, bold & luscious. Made in the tradition of quality Californian winemaking, the grapes JaM Cellars selects are juicy, ripe & bursting with flavor. JaM Cellars cold ferments this easy-to-love Chardonnay to a lush creaminess and ages it in their unique blend of oak. Butter brims with stone fruit and baked-lemon notes and has a lovely, long, vanilla finish. Simply put, it melts in your mouth! While the JaM Cabernet is berry-licious & luscious! My favorite way to unwind after work, this Cab is my JaM! Pop over to the JaM Cellars Store Locator to buy Butter Chardonnay & JaM Cab near you.
