Writing about, and enjoying, the celebration of wine and food with the people you love most is much of what guides Hayley’s everyday life, which she writes about on her blog, Red Wine With Breakfast.
She has tasted some of the finest wine and food in the world, traveling extensively to the many of the greatest wine regions on the planet, always seeking that completely perfect glass. Tasting the international cuisine from around the world has inspired her to create the farm to table menus of Hawaii Uncorked.
