Tonight #winestudio concludes its exploration of Maryland wine via @oldwestminsterwinery. Among our topics: the Summer Solstice Festival at Burnt Hill and then tasting the 2017 Vin Doux Naturel Valvin Muscat. Join the convo at 9 pm ET to learn more. And, by the way, any suggestions on what I should serve along with my glass of Vin Doux Naturel? You’ve got a couple of hours to chime in, so get crackin’! . . . #mdwine #vindouxnaturel #muscat #burnthill #summersolstice2019 #fortifiedwine #oldwestminsterwinery #dessertwine #winestagram #wsetdiploma #eastcoastwine

Over the weekend I browsed through the offerings at the Union Square farmers market. So many things to choose from: vegetables, fruit, craft spirits, wine, and more. Colors, aromas, textures - a feast for the senses. This purple kohlrabi caught my eye: it looks like a root vegetable crossed with some type of flower. Don’t you just love summer? . . . #summertime #farmersmarket #organicproduce #eathterainbow #nyc #unionsquare #saturdaymorning #urbaneats

The latest #winestudio conversation begins right now - 9 pm ET - and it’s back to @oldwestminsterwinery for more about Maryland wine, the summer solstice festival, native yeasts, and interesting blends like this 2018 Heirloom: Chardonnay, Albariño and Muscat. Join the chat to learn more. I found it to be highly aromatic with notes of honeysuckle, ripe peach, and lemon; a bit more savory on the palate with flavors of ripe stone fruit, biscuit dough, and lemon curd. Still evolving after an hour. Paired it with pizza topped with prosciutto, cherry tomatoes, smoked mozzarella, and arugula. Mmmm! Scroll they the pics to see the labels and more. . . . #heirloomblend #summersolstice #oldwestminsterwinery #chardonnay #albariño #muscat #mdwine #lowinterventionwine #wine

Early morning walks help clear the mind and ready me for the day ahead. Here are some snaps from Sunday and Monday in Central Park at dawn. Scroll through to see clouds, beautiful birds, and foliage. How do you prepare for the week ahead? Go to my website (see bio) for all the photos and a bit of narrative. . . . #mondaymotivation #naturephoto #centralpark #nyc #bigapple #reservoir #sunrise #travelblogger #naturewalk #clouds #newyorklife #anxiety #insomnia

I just realized it’s #DrinkChenin day and guess what? Last night I opened this beauty totally by chance! I’ve loved #savennieres since I first began learning about wine. This one, a 2012, was showing beautifully with notes of dried citrus, melon and peach, still showing tart acidity and a richness on the palate that made me smile. Wish I had more of this one from Vignobles Mathieu Tijou. Did you open a special bottle of Chenin Blanc to celebrate the day? Where did it come from and what did it taste like? . . . #chateaudeleponniere #loirevalleywines #savennieres #mathieutijou #cheninblanc #frenchwine #neilrosenthal #wineblogger #winestagram #wsetdiploma #wine #drinkchenin

Still taking advantage of the freshest spring delights at the market! Over the weekend I roasted a chicken and some potatoes with garlic scapes, then sautéed Jersey asparagus and fresh morels in buerre blanc. Scroll thru the pics to see everything. Paired the meal with Rosso Conero from the Marche region of Italy. 100% Motepulciano, this wine from Brunori was full of black fruit aromas balanced by tart acidity and soft tannins. Comfort food dressed up for #sundaysupper!(P.S. Do you like how my Phillies cup photobombed the wine pic?) What’s your favorite spring produce? . . . #rossoconero #lemarche #montepulciano #roastchicken #springmarket #morels #foodstagram #wineblogger #dinnertime #comfortfood #eatgood
