Happy #grenacheday!! Who else is celebrating?? 🙋🏻‍♀️🍷What are you drinking? ▪️ I’ve opened three (!!) of my favorite #wawine producers and they each have their own unique expression of #Grenache. @gramercycellars is bright red berries (hello raspberry coulis!) and dried herbs. @amauricecellars is slightly fuller bodied with ripe cherry and red plums. And @rotiecellars is a bit darker and heavier with black cherries and savory notes. ▪️ They’re each delicious and will keep me company through the weekend! 😀🍷❤️ ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ #wine #redwine #wallawallawine #winetasting #winegeek #wineenthusiast #wineblog #wineblogger #wineeducation #outwines
I’m a bit embarrassed that I only recently learned what a “sessionable” beer was. 🤦🏻‍♀️ But in my defense, I don’t drink a lot of beer! 😜🍺 ▪️ This got me thinking though . . . what are my favorite sessionable wines? Wines that have a lower abv, are easier on the palate, and that I could essentially enjoy drinking all day without getting blotto? 🤔 ▪️ Vihno Verde is definitely at the top of my “sessionable wine” list. Usually clocking in around 10-11% abv, with a slight effervescence and crisp citrus flavors. These are incredibly refreshing wines! 👍🏻😋 What’s your favorite “sessionable” wine?? 🙋🏻‍♀️ ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ #wine #whitewine #vinhoverde #portuguesewine #winetasting #winegeek #wineenthusiast #wineblog #wineblogger #outwines
Lately I’ve noticed a lot of people talking about or posting their #birthyearwine. 🍷🎂 ▪️ Well . . . I don’t have a 1972 bottle hanging around. And besides, I don’t feel forty f&$king five. So I opened this lovely Bordeaux instead. I’m sticking at 35. 😊❤️🍷 ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ #wine #frenchwine #bordeaux #stjulien #winetasting #winegeek #wineenthusiast #wineblog #wineblogger #winestudy #outwines
Any guesses on which Unit I’m studying now for the #wsetdiploma? 😜📚 ▪️ Lots of choices for me at this point, but I wanted to tackle sparkling wine next because, well - it’s bubbles!! 🍾🥂 ▪️ More about this “sparkly object” on my blog ⬆️Link in Bio⬆️ Now I’ve gotta go crack these books - and a bottle! 😉 ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ #wine #sparklingwine #winebooks #champagne #tomstevenson #bubbles #wset #winestudy #wineeducation #wineblog #wineblogger #outwines
Refosco- have you heard of it?? 🤔 It’s one of the (many!) Italian grapes I knew next to nothing about until I started studying for the #italianwinescholar exam. 🤓🍇🇮🇹 ▪️ This process has taken me awhile - I got derailed with a major move 🌧➡️☀️ and then with #wsetdiploma studies. 🍷📚 But I have FINALLY scheduled my Unit 1 Northern Italy exam for next month! 👍🏻 ▪️ After that, I get to do it all over again with Unit 2 for the rest of the country! 😳 ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ #wine #italianwine #refosco #winestudy #wineschool #wineenthusiast #wineeducation #wineblog #wineblogger #outwines
My latest shipment from @fatcork is the BEST! 😀🥂Bottles of delicious #growerchampagne plus a map of the region. 🇫🇷 ▪️ What a great pairing to sip and study for my upcoming #wsetdiploma exam on sparkling wines! 🤓📚🍾 ▪️ Have you had grower Champagne? What did you think? 🙋🏻‍♀️🤔 ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ #wine #frenchwine #champagne #bubbles #sparklingwine #winestudy #wineeducation #wset #wineblog #wineblogger #outwines
