Question for my Wine Friends: what wine does most everyone rave about, except you? 🤔🍷 ▪️ It seems like there are certain classic wines that we are *supposed* to like (or at least pretend to like) because they’re benchmark of their varieties, or they’re rare or old or expensive. Wines like Burgundy, Bordeaux, Vintage Port, Barolo, aged Champagne . . . ▪️ Or Brunello di Montalcino!! I can objectively appreciate Brunello, but do I LIKE it? No, not really. 🤷🏻‍♀️ More info on my blog ⬆️Link in Bio⬆️ plus some art history lessons! 😉 ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ #wine #italianwine #brunellodimontalcino #sangiovese #redwine #wineblog #winestudy #wineblogger #wineenthusiast #wineeducation #outwines
I just finished my WSET Diploma exam! 🤯 (#3 of 6!) And of course, I wore my lucky necklace. 😊 ▪️ I wear it most days, but especially on ones where I need a little extra help. It’s a handmade glass bead from some of the ashes of our first love, Luke. 🐶😇 I miss that little stinker every day . . . ❤️ ▪️ Do you have a good luck charm, or something you do on “big” days? 🤞🏻🍀🙏🏻 ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ #goodluck #wset #wsetdiploma #winestudent #wineexam #winestudy #testanxiety #labsofinstagram #lockedinart #outwines
When buying wine, how often are you influenced by the label? 🧐🍷 ▪️ I’m usually not, but I have to admit The Walls label is an exception! How can you NOT pick up a bottle that looks like this? 😀👍🏻 ▪️ The winery’s labels feature Stanley Groovy, drawn by @joedator - cartoonist for The New Yorker - and named in honor of Washington wine pioneer, Stan Clarke. The Stanley Groovy wine is a blend of Portuguese grapes (with some Cab thrown in for oomph) grown on Red Mountain. The Walls is one unique winery - more info in my stories! 🤓🍷 ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ #wine #wawine #wawinemonth #wallawalla #tastewa #stanleygroovy #winetasting #winery #winelabel #thewallsvineyards #outwines
Who’s had wine from L’Ecole No. 41? 🙋🏻‍♀️ ▪️ They’re one of my favorite Washington wineries because they have such a consistently delicious wide range of wines. From their classic Sémillon to their top rated Bordeaux style blend Ferguson - there is a wine for everybody (and every budget!) 😊 ▪️ Plus, their tasting room is in a really awesome converted old schoolhouse! ✏️📚🍷 ▪️ More info about L’Ecole and other favorite Washington wineries in my stories in honor of #washingtonwinemonth! 😍🍷 ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ #wine #wawine #wallawalla #wallawallawine #tastewa #winetasting #wineenthusiast #winelover #winery #outwines
Did you know March is Washington Wine Month?! 😀🍷 ▪️ I’m really missing my home state ❤️ so I’m going to focus on it all month long! Each day I’ll share one of my favorite Washington wineries - and it won’t be easy to narrow it down to only 31, there are over 940 to choose from! 😳 ▪️ While I’m working on MY list - what are some of your favorite Washington wine producers? 🍷 ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ #wine #wawine #tastewa #washington #pnw #wawinemonth #winemaker #winelover #winetasting #winestagram #outwines
What’s your favorite wine show? 🍷📽 The Wine Masters series is up there on my list!👍🏻 ▪️ Season 1 focuses on France 🇫🇷 highlighting several influential winemaking families in regions like Burgundy, Bordeaux and the Rhône. Two Masters of Wine are also featured - @timatkinmw and @jeanniecholee - who contribute a nice balance of education and entertainment. 😊A detailed review of the series is on my blog ⬆️Link in Bio⬆️ ▪️ If you’re interested in learning more about wine - you should definitely check out the @winemasters.tv series. And next season - they’re in Italy! 🇮🇹🍷 ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ #wine #frenchwine #winemovie #masterofwine #wineeducation #wset #wsetdiploma #alsace #bordeaux #burgundy #loirevalley #rhône #outwines
