In celebration of #ChardonnayDay, why not try something new? Maybe two wines from New Jersey? I really enjoyed these two, which come from the coastal area in the southeast. Such a good surprise! @sharrottwinery @hawkhavenwinery #winestudio
I look forward to each new post from @uglyproduceisbeautiful So creative and delicious at the same time!
Summer’s here and I look forward to the lighter dishes that come with it: fresh basil pesto, grilled fish, farm-fresh vegetables. And #Albariño is the perfect wine for all of those things! I recently attended a webinar with @snoothmedia in which we learned about the different regions of #RiasBaixas and how the wines reflect their unique terroirs. Here is a match made in heaven: bucatini in pesto paired with wine from #Valminor. Herbal notes in the wine highlight the fresh pesto. Cool and crisp. I’d like another bottle of this! #accessalbarino
It’s finally Friday night and I’m delighted to sip this #CabernetFranc from @meekerwine in #Sonoma. All is right with the world! #WIYG?
The French #Winophiles dig into the dirt of Côtes de Bordeaux, source of affordable, approachable wines. No trust fund or large cellar required! Here are 2 of my pairings: strip steak and duck fat roasted potatoes with @chateausuau and white turkey chili with @chateaulamothe. Blog post with all the deets is up now. Tomorrow morning we chat live at 11 am ET on Twitter. Join the convo! Just follow #Winophiles. See you there! #cotesdebdxspring
It’s #RiasBaixas time! Join us on @Snooth tonight at 8:30 pm ET as we taste through 11 #Albarino wines from #Galicia, Spain. They’re the perfect summer wines!
