About

Julia Stacey Reilly, or J Reilly as she is known on social media, created the Boozy Lifestyle blog in 2014. Beginning with wine tasting notes, her blogging gradually expanded to reflect broadening interests in spirits, cocktails, and food, culminating with authoring her first book.

J Reilly is an accomplished keyboardist, guitarist, and singer who had a 20-year career playing gigs and teaching music. As a second career, she worked as a technical writer and pharmaceutical consultant. She is currently studying wine through the Wine and Spirits Education Trust and has completed WSET Level 1 Award in Wines. Julia and her husband Mike owned and operated a wine and liquor store in the Northern New Jersey area and enjoy spending their time living the Boozy Lifestyle with tastings, mixology experiments, and boozy travel.
