How to ‘Wine Down’ during Quarantine

Elle The Foodie

I am a food and wine content creator sharing my journey of becoming a home cook through my blog, Millennial Meets Stove. Along with creating recipes, I design wine experiences for millennials throughout Detroit and cohost the outspoken wine podcast – “The Millennial Winedown”.

I have a LOVE for wine. Throughout quarantine, I have spent a lot of extra time studying wine, following wine experts through social media and online websites, and leave the house once a week for an essential wine run. Below are my top picks for wine experiences in Metro Detroit while social distancing.
