While special holidays are set to remind us of their importance, it is hard to adequately thank all of the wonderful women in our lives and all that they have done for us as moms. It’s a day to connect and let them know how much they are appreciated. However you choose to show your appreciation, whether it be a gift, flowers or perhaps cooking a meal – it should be expressed with love.

In honor of all mothers, we’ve created a wine cocktail that we think she’ll love. Enjoy Mom’s the Word over brunch or watching the sunset together.
