Succession Depression is setting in. The end is getting near for three of my favorite series — Ted Lasso, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Succession. 😢 As I wipe my streaming tears, I can find comfort that their finales will be supersized (Succession will be 90 minutes!) 🍟 Enough melodrama…let’s keep our spirits up with the flock of new series and films to stream this weekend. What’s on your watchlist?
ALERT: May 20 is National Streaming Day and Hulu is offering up its service for just $2/month for three months. Definitely take advantage of this deal if you don’t currently have Hulu. My fave series on Hulu are Only Murders in the Building, The Great, and The Handmaid’s Tale.

Sip & Stream 🍷📺 : Love to Love You x Papillon 2019 Napa Valley Red Blend.
I love Donna Summer 💃🏼🪩 and can’t wait to watch this documentary tomorrow on HBO Max. It’s already getting great reviews from its circuit run at the festivals. I’m pairing it with a fierce red from Napa. It’s a blend of five Bordeaux varietals - juicy notes of açaí berry, cherries and cedar, mocha and dark fruits that lead to a mouthwatering finish. From one of my favorite cellars out of Napa - Orin Swift.
Happy Streaming 🍷 📺
