Ever thought about buying wine at an auction? It’s a great way to build your cellar or to find the perfect gift bottle. Tune into #winestudio tonight at 9 ET for more advice from @ackerwines. We’ll be tasting #Champagne from @ruinart and a Cali red blend from @orinswift called #8yearsinthedesert.
It’s on at 8:30 pm ET: @snoothmedia is hosting a snack party featuring sweet #Bordeaux wines! This is a tasting with a twist - we’ll be trying the wines with savory bites rather than the traditional desserts. I, for one, can’t wait! #snacktime #winetasting #wineandfood #sauternes #loupiac #cadillac #goldenbordeaux
On to a new chapter of #winestudio tonight. Are you a wine auction aficionado? Me neither, but I’m excited to learn the ins and outs with @ackerwines and @winestudiotina tonight at 9 ET. Looking forward to this 2000 #Spatlese #Riesling from Weingut Joh. Jos. Christoffel!
Join the Italian Food Wine &Travel group tomorrow 11/3 at 11 am ET as we discuss the wines from #CiròDOC in #Calabria Italy. This #DamisRiserva from Du Cropio Estate is made from the #Gaglioppo grape. Lots to talk about tomorrow! #ItalianFWT
The Dude Abides! And wishes everyone a happy #Halloween. Gabe and I channeled our inner Dudes and tasted a kick-ass #Shiraz from @twohandswines in #BarossaValley. Who Wore It Better? Chime in below! Link to post in the bio. #thedude #thedudeabides #gnarly #oldvines #aussiewine #whoworeitbetter #thebiglebowski #donnawhitepr
