Road Trip! 🚘 I headed 2 hours outside of downtown Road Trip! 🚘 I headed 2 hours outside of downtown Chicago to 𝐓𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐲 & 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭. For nearly 60 years, Tabor Hill helped shape the story of Michigan wine country. TODAY, August 1st, they’re turning a new chapter. #taborhillwinery 

I went to preview their new menu debut. What a FUN evening meeting James Beard Award nominated Chef, Justin Carlisle. The dinner was family-style and featured elevated farm-to-table cuisine.

The fun didn’t stop there! We got to taste two limited wine releases, meet the winemakers, and tour the 🍇 vineyard. Thanks for a super amazing day @taborhillwinery.🍷 Cheers! Want to learn more?! Head to the blog: 👉🏽 chiataglance.com

One of the events I went to was an exclusive cocktail reception hosted by the president of @Playerstv - @iammicheleghee, Basketball legend - @Lisaleslie, and @Veronicabeard (51 clothing stores…soon to come Paris opening).

We gathered with an inspiring group of men and women across sports, business, media, and fashion for an evening of meaningful conversation. The reception was designed to bring together women who are passionate about uplifting, empowering, and championing one another while celebrating the growing partnership between PlayersTV, Veronica Beard, and @thebossnetwork.
