Sara's Pick

Me and Bailey; UNC Homecoming, 2011

So, I have been avoiding it long enough…it’s time to talk about myself. Here we go: I am a Junior English major and Public Policy minor at UNC—Go Heels!—and a single mother to one of the world’s most amazing 13 year old boys ever: Bailey. When I am not mommying, working, studying, writing papers, volunteering, fostering animals, writing blogs, updating facebook, or Tweeting, I like to sleep. And listen to live music. And sing very loudly in my car. I am also an accomplished living room dancer and pop culture addict. 

At UNC, I am a class of 2013 Senior Marshal, on the Student Parent Association Executive Board, and founding member and Executive Board member for Autism Speaks U. I am also a foster home for the Carolina Pet Rescue.

I have been with Chatham Hill Winery for 18 months, although my dad and step-mom have been wine club members at the winery for, like, ever. When Marek and Jill were looking for some help behind the bar, my dad referred me. So, thanks daddy because I love my job! In addition to doing a small bit of “behind the scenes” work with the blog, facebook, etc., I am also a tasting room sales associate. You will find me behind the bar most weekends. I love talking to people. I love talking about wine. I am a very lucky girl.

My pick for my favorite Chatham Hill Wine is the Pinot Grigio. Tropical fruits. Citrus. Clean and crisp. I love this wine with a simple spinach salad tossed with green apples, dried blueberries, walnuts, a mild Danish blue cheese, and a touch of raspberry vinaigrette. 

Cheers!
