Tough day for us wine students today, roughing it at the Biltmore Miami at #VinoSummit! I finally got to meet Lisa Airey of @winescholarguild and a few other #wine friends. #winescholar at work

#Champagne - it’s what’s for breakfast. Well it is if you’re attending the first #VinoSummit in Miami! Started the day with seven wines from @charlesheidsieckchampagne including a #cuveedesmillenaires from 1995. I could get used to this! What are the rest of you sipping this morning? . . . #winestudent #winelover #champagnelife #sparklingwine #wheresthecoffee #floridalife #biltmorehotel #winterinmiami #bubbles #doihavetospit #wine

Gabe and I ventured out for dinner the other night and enjoyed our meal at @edgemiami a Latin-inspired steakhouse in the @fsmiami. Our favorite part? The American Bean to Bar Chocolate, a taste of four artisanal chocolates sourced from Brazil, Venezuela, Guatemala, and Ecuador, but made here in the U.S. Accompanied by roasted hazelnuts, Fleur de Sel, raisins, and candied orange peel. You could really taste the differences among them! . . . #foodporn #dessert #fourseasonsmiami #latinflavor #datenight #chocoholic #brickell #miami #floridalife #winelover #foodie #eatdessertfirst

Back to the books: Unit 5 Sparkling Wines of the World is my next #WSETDiploma challenge! Prep advice and study tips welcome. Wait - shouldn’t I have a glass of something bubbly in hand? . . . #winestudent #internationalwinecenter #champagne #prosecco #franciacorta #capclassique #cava #moscato #cremant #wineblogger #bubbles #winestagram #wine #winelover #byebyefreetime

Intended to post this yesterday for #Riesling day, but technical difficulties prevented it. Anyway, hope you all had a sip of crisp, delicious Riesling to celebrate! Is there any white wine easier to pair with food? What’s your favorite food and Riesling match? . . . #rieslinglover #rieslingwine #winelover #germanwine #rieslingrocks #weegmuller #karthauserhof #korres #rheingau #nahe #pfalz #mosel #christoffelerben

Sometimes #SundaySupper can be as simple as grilled chicken breast, salad, and a glass of rosé - in this case from @adoradawines in California. My first experience with this wine was during last year’s #winestudio program. Imagine my delight upon seeing it on the shelf at my local Publix! It’s a heavenly mix of pink grapefruit, ripe cherry, and a touch of rose petals. A taste of spring while Jack Frost’s still nipping at your nose! How are you manifesting spring, during the last gasps of winter? . . . #roseallday #drinkpink #springtime #healthyfood #dinnerforone #winestagram #foodandwine #treatyourself #womenwinemakers
