Cucumber Mint Sangria: Let’s Celebrate My Two Year Blogiversary!

Cucumber Mint Sangria with Wente Riva Ranch Chardonnay is crisp and refreshing! 

It’s time to C-E-L-E-B-R-A-T-E! Two years ago this week, I pressed publish on my very first post of my new entrepreneurial endeavor… Tabler Party of Two. Now (and certainly to my surprise!) we are Tabler party of thousands! 

Pour yourself a glass of vino and celebrate with me!

It’s been quite a journey… one that I have absolutely adored. I started Tabler Party of Two with no knowledge whatsoever of how to create a blog and with a following of ZERO. But I was a recent empty nester and California transplant from Texas with plenty of time on my hands.

How did I grow from those humble beginnings to over 30K+ followers? LOTS of hard work, passion, and, of course, God’s blessings. I immersed myself in books and podcasts on blogging, online marketing, and social media. Plus I attended conferences to amp up my knowledge. Yes, I just dove in head first. Bad photography and technical challenges were a daily reality, but I kept plugging away with perseverance. Now, two years later, my business is thriving and I coach others on how to launch, grow, and monetize their brand.

Have you considered starting your own entrepreneurial journey? The work is hard, but the rewards are great! One of my favorite parts of blogging is getting to use my creativity each and every day. And I love inspiring, helping, and serving others. The ever-changing world of social media? That’s a big part of my job, and I definitely have a love/hate relationship with it. Let’s just say it keeps me challenged!

How to celebrate this milestone? With a crisp sangria made with an exquisite chardonnay, of course! For my Cucumber Mint Sangria, I chose Wente Vineyards Riva Ranch Chardonnay.  

Wente Vineyards has had quite a journey of its own. The story began in the 1800s when German immigrant C.H. Went immigrated to America with the dream of creating a better life. After learning winemaking from Charles Krug, he started his own business that is still thriving five generations later. In fact, Wente is the oldest continuously-operated, family-owned winery in the country! These wines are 100% estate grown and sustainably farmed in Livermore Valley, San Fransisco Bay, and Arroyo Secco. The Wentes are proud to be recognized as “California’s First Family of Chardonnay.” How’s that for an inspiring journey?!!

NOW… IT’S TIME TO MAKE A DELICIOUS CUCUMBER MINT SANGRIA.
