Starbucks and Wine

An ode to two of my favorite things in the world….
Every single morning since oh 2005 I have had a Venti nonfat 5 splenda well stirred light foam latte
yep I am that person in line in front of you. 
I LOVE IT!
I love that the Barista’s at my Starbucks know me. I love that I start my drink and they say “Hi Neely!”
I love taking that first sip…
YUMMMM
One of my favorite morning weekend activities(or weekday if Im not working) is having my starbucks, post workout and laying on the couch with my laptop, reading blogs and writing posts and catching up on DVR. Sounds heavenly no???
Last winter we had a week of really bad snow and ice storms and everything was shut down. No school, no work nothing. 
Better believe I got my Starbucks every morning 🙂
Then there is wine…
I have two favorites
Apothic White

And Riesling

Wine, a pumpkin spice candle, a movie, a warm fuzzy blanket and C….yep my fav things
I know this post sounds odd like “Why is she writing about Starbucks and wine?” 
Cause this is my blog, you are here to read things about me and those are two of my fav things duh 🙂

So what are two of your favorite things??

    That first sip of coffee in the morning is HEAVENLY.. A well-deserved glass of wine or a well-made Bloody Mary isn’t too shabby either.

    I think you already hit two of my faves. Never tried Apothic, but I love Robert Mondavi Reisling. It’s amazing.

    I buy that same that same Riesling- for some reason it always tastes better to me at a restaurant than it does at home. I think I need a wine fridge stat! But I agree there is nothing better than a Starbucks latte OR a glass of your fav wine. LOVE both of those and they both come in handy at different times each day. I will have to try that Apothic wine.

    I wish I was able to frequent Sbucks enough to have them know my name… It’d be like walking into an episode of Cheers, HEY NORM! 😉

    I do love my coffee, good coffee … and chocolate and moscato, and bread. LOL.

    First of all, that Riesling is my favorite! Yummy! Second, they put splenda in your latte? I mean do you just tell them? Cause I’m scared of other people prepping my latte?

    Omg, now I’m thirsty! I love Starbucks, but I mostly order a white moka 1 expresso shot or a hot chocolate. Having the barista knowing my name would be awesome. Kind of a morning ritual! 🙂

    My workday doesn’t start without that first sip of coffee, so I understand you completely. I’m realizing that there isn’t much better than settling down for the evening with a nice glass of wine and a book.

    I love Riesling! We had a fantastic wine bar that had this amazing Riesling. But then it closed and I haven’t had any since. Sadness.

    My favorite is Moscato wine… Yuummm! I like super sweet wine.

    As for your Starbucks drink, that sounds heavenly. Maybe I’ll copy you 😀 They’ll probably think I’m crazy.

    My two favorite things… dark chocolate and wine. Yum.

    Wine and coffee all the way. I haven’t tried the Apothic White, but the Apothic Red is one of my favorites. As for coffee, strong and black. 5 Splendas!? My eyes are watering and my lips are puckering out. My Keurig is one of my guilty pleasures, it’s so expensive and I just love it!
