Cab Franc lovers, this is our day! Thanks to Lori from @dracaenawines and @exploringthewineglass aficionados of this variety native to Bordeaux have a wine holiday all our own. To celebrate Gabe and I enjoyed the 2019 Dry Creek Valley Cab Franc from @meekerwine - perfect with poblano peppers stuffed with a mix of sweet potatoes, black beans, red onion, and ground turkey. Spiced with a little cumin, oregano, S/P they were delish! What’s your favorite Cab Franc-based wine? And tell me about the ideal pairing!

What a wine surprise! Today I received two bottles from @casaabrilselections @ladamasurena that I’m excited to try: an old vines Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero and a white blend from Ribeiro. Spain’s got a special place in my heart and so do her wines. Let the tasting fun begin!

I just heard it’s Tempranillo Day (check out the new post from @carloslsarmiento for an amazing pairing) and it looks like I was feeling the vibes!

The end of daylight saving time means the moon rises. At 5:15. I think the only one happy about this is Mademoiselle Moon, who is getting her party started early. At least she’s pretty!

Perfect weeknight dinner as I get ready to cheer for the Phillies in game 3 of the World Series. Pan-seared salmon with a brown sugar glaze accompanied by arugula salad with lemon and olive oil. The inaugural vintage of Grenache Gris from @twoshepherdswine and @sonomawilliam was just the right wine. Tart berry-cherry fruit, white tea, a hint of rose. It’s one of my favorites from the fall wine club shipment.
