If you could own land in any wine region in the world - where would it be? 🍇 Burgundy? Tuscany? Napa? Walla Walla?! 🤩 ◾️ We just bought some “retirement” property in Walla Walla, WA! 😍 This is our lot - with a gorgeous view from our future back deck where we’ll be hanging out, sipping on some delicious Washington wine.🍷 ◾️ Walla Walla may not be as glamorous or famous as those other places mentioned 😉, but it’s one of my absolute favorite wine regions. It has my heart. ❤️ ◾️ Have you ever visited Walla Walla or tried wine from this region? What did you think? 😊 ◾️ ◾️ ◾️ #wine #wawine #wallawalla #wallawallawine #futurehome #retirement #winecountry #wallawallavalley #washingtonwine #winetravel #outwines
Wine students - how do you study? Are you: “sit down and focus” or “get it in whenever & wherever you can”? 🤓📚🍷 ◾️ Most of the time I sit down and focus. But some days don’t allow me to do much of that! 😩 ◾️ So . . . that’s when I drag my study materials around with me. Reviewing flashcards on a walk. 🏃🏻‍♀️ Going over my outlines while cooking dinner. 👩🏻‍🍳 And listening to a VERY helpful @guildsomm podcast during my morning hair straightening session. 😜 ◾️ I once tried to go over my flashcards while getting a massage - then I checked myself for being an idiot. 🙄Where have you tried to cram in a study session? 🤔 ◾️ ◾️ ◾️ #wine #winestudy #winestudent #wineschool #wineeducation #wset #wsetdiploma #guildsomm #societyofwineeducators #putdowntheflashcards #outwines
What’s your wine storage situation? Basement? Wine rack in the kitchen? Wine fridge? Glorious wine cellar like this? 🤩 ◾️ FTR - this isn’t mine. 😉 We visited a friend over New Years who had THE most beautifully organized wine cellar - complete with a wine list he updates monthly. 🍷📝 ◾️ MY wines are randomly stashed in a largeish (200+ bottles) wine fridge. I had good intentions of keeping my CellarTracker account updated, but that fell by the wayside months ago. 🙁 ◾️ How do you keep track of your wines? 🤔 And are you good about keeping up to date? If you are - please give me pointers! 👍🏻 One of my 2020 goals is to get my wines organized. 🤓 ◾️ ◾️ ◾️ #wine #winecollection #wineroom #winecellar #winestorage #wineenthusiast #wset #wsetdiploma #winecollector #winelover #outwines
Question for my fellow wine students: how do you keep up your studies over the holidays? 🤓📚🍷 ◾️ Unlike an office job that often closes or slows down during this time of year, wine studies stay open. And I feel guilty if I don’t “go into the office” at least a little bit every day. 😕Even if it’s just reviewing my Madeira notes in front of the Christmas tree. 🧐🍷🎄 ◾️ Do you take time off from studies during the holidays? 😴 Or do you keep at it? 💪🏻 I’d welcome suggestions for keeping at it . . . I’m struggling!! 😫 ◾️ ◾️ ◾️ #wine #winestudent #wineeducation #wset #wsetdiploma #wineschool #winestudy #wineclass #outwines
Interested in learning more about Italian wine? 🙋🏻‍♀️🇮🇹🍷 ◾️ The second season of Wine Masters covers five of the country’s most famous wine regions - Piedmont, Veneto, Tuscany, Campania and Sicily. 👍🏻 This is a unique documentary series focusing on winemaking families like Gaja and Antinori, while combining education with beautiful cinematography. 📚😍 ◾️ More detail about the series is on my blog ⬆️Link in Bio⬆️ I highly recommend it to any wine or travel enthusiast! ◾️ ◾️ ◾️ #wine #wineshow #italianwine #winetv #winemasters #italy #wineeducation #winetravel #wset #winestudy #gaja #antinori #lastminutechristmasshopping #outwines
Question for my wine loving friends: are there certain places or restaurants where you almost always order something OTHER than wine? 🤔🚫🍷 ◾️ I was thinking about this the other day when I ate at one of SoCal‘s many fabulous Mexican restaurants. 🌮 I hardly ever order a glass of wine with Mexican food 🤷🏻‍♀️ - instead I opt for a margarita (this spicy watermelon one was delicious!) or a Pacifico. 🍹🍺 ◾️ Same goes for a brewery. Their wine list (if any) is usually limited to the mainstream meh because that’s not what they specialize in. 🍻 And as long as they produce something besides those prolific IPAs 😜, I can always find a glass that I like. 👍🏻😊 ◾️ What about you - where do you NOT order a glass of wine?? ◾️ ◾️ ◾️ #wine #winelist #margarita #brewery #cocktails #wineblog #wineblogger #wineenthusiast #winelovers #outwines
