Three days.
Thousands of people.
One very dramatic New Mexico windstorm. 🌪️🍬
The first TWO days of the New Mexico Wine Festival were absolute MAGIC. Sunshine, wine, brittle, hugs, laughs, seeing my girl Kiki Garcia, reconnecting with friends, and watching people literally RUN across the field yelling “SUGAR MAMAS!” 🥹💛
Day 3?
Well…Mother Nature said, “That’s enough brittle for y’all.” 😂
At one point our candy was blowing through the air like tiny sugary tumbleweeds and I was mentally preparing for our tent to land somewhere near Oz. 🌪️✨
BUT Y’ALL…
The support was unreal. The local pride. The love. The excitement. The “I came looking for YOU!” moments. THAT is what I’ll remember most.
And the best part?
We were invited back for another beautiful vineyard event in August 👀🍷 (details coming soon!)
We ALMOST sold out completely — and honestly, if the weather had behaved, y’all would’ve cleaned us OUT. 😮💨
New Mexico…thank you for showing up for this wild little candy dream of mine. There really is no place like home. 💛
