Meet Justin of @argotwines! 😍 We sat down for a wine tasting session together to learn all about Argot wine, their cult-following and how he became a wine maker!

🔥 Bold. Intense. Unforgettable. These are the words that best describe Argot wines.

We’re tasting Argot Wine’s ‘Bastard Tongue’ Pinot Noir—one of Sonoma’s most exciting wines! 🍇 Winemaker Justin Harmon went from software engineering to crafting rich, full-bodied Pinot Noir, and this one is next level. 🚀

👀 Would you try this wine? Drop a 🍷 in the comments & tag a wine lover!

I've always wanted to perfectly color match the bu

I've always wanted to perfectly color match the buildings in Lyon, the river and a croissant. (Jk. I didn't even know what lyon looked like. The color scheme was a happy coincidence.)

I feel like I haven't lived for myself for a very long time and I've forgotten how to do that. Traveling and exploring the world was my number one priority and that's part of the reason why I landed in Rochester but then somehow I was lost and I got stuck.

I got stuck in a system I don't think I can change and watched so many small businesses I love struggle or fail, I got really depressed. I needed to step away and reevaluate everything that I've been doing, my priorities, take care of myself and come back stronger. 💪

The world is a crazy place. Take care of yourself first. This is a video to remind myself AND YOU. 💖

I ate three bags of these while in London and I don't usually eat junk food! 😂 A local British boy agreed with me that the pickled onion flavor is the best monster munch flavor.

Kinda like the salt & vinegar chips but less salty and oniony instead. Definitely skip it if you don't like onions.

Anybody knows where I can continue to eat these in the USA?

I saw this bag of marmite flavored crisps in London and I had to buy it! Have you had this before? Do you like it? 😍

I love trying things ive never heard of, I'd say I'm definitely an adventurous eater. I asked chatgpt what i should talk about on my social media while I'm traveling, the suggestion is for me to create content trying taiwanese food in other countries... I just can't bring myself to do it because I am traveling to learn about other cultures and their cuisine!

My time here is short, I can't eat/learn enough about the local culture how can I make time to eat food from my own culture? 😭

Have you ever tried black pudding before? It was on my bucket list to eat while i was in London. I've always been curious about the black pudding and love trying different types of blood sausages and "unusual" foods, I took advantage of the tiny airbnb kitchen and made some!

I actually walked 30 mins to a butcher shop to get some freshly made ones but the butcher said they sold out 10 minutes before I got there and the next batch is going to be ready on the day I leave. 😩🥲

🌞 Super quick takeaway: black pudding reminds me of a saltier, doughier version of pig's blood cake 豬血糕 in Taiwan!

✨ Other things on my to-try list in london: jellied eel, pie and mash, kidney pie, doner kebab, pub ale

Im trying to be me and I am trying to be real. Thi

Im trying to be me and I am trying to be real. This is what an actual human look like after 24h+ of no sleep. 😂

Im trying to learn to be me again and also do things for me not because i need to chase some kind of social media narrative or to please someone.

I definitely forgot how to do that being in a world of social media and trying to start a business. I find myself constantly doing things to please others and it's made me deeply unhappy. (And burnt out AF)

While being in America has helped me discover the uniqueness of my Taiwanese upbringing, I still often hide who I truly am because i don't want to cause conflict or I don't think i can really be me, unapologetically. It's part of how we were brought up- to make ourselves small and be humble.

Traveling has always been something I couldn't live without. I feel like my most authentic self when I'm traveling. Here's to figuring out how to be me and travel more. ✌️

Backtracking a little to day one of my journey. Im catching up with the videos I made!

Ps. If im not allowed back in the US, this is goodbye. 👋

Revenge dinner is probably not what you think. 😅 In Taiwan it just means you didn't get something you wanted so you do something else in extreme to spite it. For example "staying up extra late" to spite the fact you'd worked all day and didn't get a break to do what you actually wanted.

In this case for me- eating good food. 💖

Ill post a video of the tiny attic I'm staying at in the story. Proof that you don't need fancy stuff to have good food. ✌️

I never remember to take photos of my food when im

I never remember to take photos of my food when im being filmed 😅 i need to get better at that!

Have you been to the @saturdaydumplingco in #Minneapolis yet? They started out as a frozen dumpling pop-up but they recently opened a brick and mortar restaurant!

Valentine's day is a dumb holiday. There, I said it. If you love each other, pick any other day to show affection and not be blinded by the merchants who are just trying to sell you stuff. I think all holidays based on consumerism is dumb, which feels like most holidays in America. Visiting hobby lobby or the candy isle at super markets anytime of the year and you'll see my point. 😒

I do get mixed feelings because i know valentine's day helps the struggling restaurant industry a lot and I want my friends to do well and survive.

Still I'm mad because it's getting in the way of me eating 😂 #HANGRY
