No time like the present to tackle a goal! I visited my friends at @ironhorsevineyards and asked if they could make one of my 2024 dreams come true. Thank you @jlasky03 for happily obliging.

Like many modern lasting relationships, I met Monica on Instagram. I was in a rabbit hole so deep I can’t remember how I got to her, but I was immediately in love with her work. I reached out about my project, @thecariocakitchen, that was still in its studs back then, and she agreed to meet me in person on my next trip to Rio.
