Hi, babe!
I’m Erika Altes, the lifestyle Instagram-er and blogger behind Whiskey & Lace. Don’t be fooled by the name though, my true drink of choice will always be a nice glass of wine— especially if it’s Chardonnay or Pinot Noir.
I live in Sonoma County (the heart of wine country!) with my high school sweetheart and two kids. I launched this blog back in 2015 as a creative outlet and I can’t believe how much it has grown today. I feel lucky every moment to be able to share my love for food, home decor, fashion, motherhood, and of course wine, with each and every one of you.
Growing up in Sonoma County has taught me a lot about wine, which is why I decided to launch the Whiskey & Lace Wine Club. My goal with this club is to make every member feel like their best friend is hand-picking the best wines out there. If you want to learn more, click here.
On the blog, I like to share outfit and home inspiration, family recipes, wine country tips, and kid-friendly finds. I always strive to tell it like it is, showing you that there’s nothing better than being yourself. My hope is that my blog inspires you to see the joy in every single day.
If you want to connect with me beyond the blog, please feel free to follow me on Instagram. You’ll find me sharing recipes on my Sunday Supper series, laughing with my husband Mark during Wine Wednesday Q&A’s, and belting out my favorite Celine Dion songs during Carpool Karaoke. We like to have a good time over here.
Thanks so much for being a part of the Whiskey and Lace community. It truly means the world to me!
