There’s just something about this time of year that makes us crave pasta nights on the patio. Fresh basil, garden tomatoes, warm evenings, and wines that are a little lighter, a little sweeter, and made for lingering conversations. Simply delicious. 🍝☀️🍷

Our bronze cut pastas are perfect for a homemade lemon pesto cream sauce — the texture holds every silky bite beautifully. Pair it with a chilled Moscato D’Asti, add a couple good friends, and you’ve got the kind of evening people remember long after the plates are cleared.

Patio season in Texas never lasts quite long enough, so consider this your sign to slow down and celebrate the freshness of the season while you can.

Trust us on this one: full belly, big smile, happy heart.

I can't decide which new goodie I love best this week.

These beach towels are quick-dry, weigh almost nothing, won't fill your beach bag, and don't hold dirt or sand. Flop down on one of these at Lake Bastrop, Port A, the coasts of the Mediterranean, or just your buddy's pool and congratulate yourself on your excellent taste. 💦

Speaking of taste...fresh mozzarella and burrata just arrived. Pair with fresh basil, the first of those garden tomatoes, and a glass of prosecco. 🍅 🥂

Summer never looked or tasted so good! 🌞

Favor to ask...for those of you who have joined us in the new store in Smithville and enjoyed our wine and craft beer selections, snacks, home decor, and overall charm, would you take a few minutes to leave us a review on Yelp (and Google too if you use that tool). I'd be forever grateful! Trying to get our name out there and share what's special about Smithville with more and more visitors. Big, big thanks for helping us spread the word!

Food for thought today (tomorrow there is actual food...OK, it's marshmallow treats but still!)

Hope y'all are ready for some sparkling rosé! Hobbs is popping bottles! 🥂🍷🌹

Let's talk about tinned fish, y'all.

It's delicious. Full stop.

I'm new to these delights but a few guests were so excited about them I had to try. Perfectly portable, easy to open, and incredible right out of the tin on a cracker (or just a fork).

Five flavors to choose from (2 brand new), all imported from Portugal.

Join us at Faire La Nouba on May 16 from 4–7pm for a Sparkling Rosé Soirée. 🥂

We’ll have 12+ sparkling rosés open for tasting, and you’ll get to vote for your favorite — the top picks will earn a spot on our shop shelves. We’ll even have a non-alcoholic rosé herbal tea to try. And cupcakes. Don’t forget the cupcakes.

This weekend is extra meaningful for us. It marks the 10-year anniversary of Rachael’s breast cancer diagnosis. She’s in remission, but the pink vibes are still strong. We’ll be selling special event t-shirts to raise money for Flatwater Foundation, which provides mental health services for people with a life-changing cancer diagnosis.

Think pink. Dress pink. Channel your inner flamingo. Live it up!

Tickets: $15

No need to arrive right at 4 — the bubbles will stay on ice and you can taste at your leisure.

The shop will remain open to everyone during the event, but tasting tickets are limited, so grab yours in the shop or online.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you. 💗🥂
