Meet Hailee Anderson: Ski days, wine nights, and beautiful bottles worth keeping

I grew up in Washington and recently moved to Bend, Oregon. I'm someone who kind of loves a little bit of everything. I'm very outdoorsy, but I also love a girly twist, whether that's getting dressed up or going out with friends. I'm super social and get a lot of energy from being around people and from a great glass of wine. I sometimes joke that I should've been a sommelier because I love trying and talking about wine so much.

My favorite time to drink wine

I love a glass of Cab Sauv on a Thursday night. It feels like Christmas Eve to the weekend and gives me more time to sit and enjoy. Right now, I'm reaching for Browne Bitner Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (1). It's the kind of bottle that makes Thursday feel like a celebration.

What I'm looking forward to drinking

It's Earth Month, and as someone who's outdoorsy and loves being outside, I'm excited to try the Browne Forest Project Red Blend (2). It feels like the perfect pairing for springtime hikes and evenings on the patio.

Getting Personal

What I'm loving right now?

Ella Langley. Her music has been on repeat lately.

Skiing. Living in Bend means I'm on the mountain as much as possible. There's nothing better than a day on the slopes followed by a good bottle.

Salt & Stone anything. The brand just gets it right.

Finding new life for beautiful things. I've become obsessed with finding new uses for things instead of tossing them. The Gigi's Garden (3) bottles are a perfect example. All three are so pretty they can be used after you drink them. I've turned them into vases, olive oil decanters, you name it. They're too beautiful to throw away.

Famous figure I most identify with?

I'm really inspired by Matilda Djerf and how she makes a relaxed, elegant style feel easy to wear in everyday life. I also think a lot of girls can relate to her, which I really like and respect.

I can't wait for you to try these recs!
