April 17th is #MalbecWorldDay so here is a line-up of a few delicious #Malbec wines I’ve tasted over the past year. I was lucky to try a few from @achavalferrer in Argentina and one from @ordazwines in Sonoma (thanks to #winestudio) and received a few others (@bodegaamalaya and @bodegacolome) as samples. Wherever your Malbec comes from, it will have aromas and flavors of plum and cherry, and will have a silky texture that makes it a pleasure to drink. What will you open to celebrate Malbec’s special day? . . . #winelover #malbec #redwine #winestagram #mendoza #sonoma #quimera #winetasting #winemeup #wine #celebrate

When you’ve spent the morning cleaning the apartment and your husband comes home from his doctor’s appointment with a surprise. So thoughtful and kind - always makes me smile but today he brought tears to my eyes. #gratitude #worldsbesthusband

My heart hurts knowing that this beautiful cathedral is on fire. Desperately hoping some of it can be saved! #notredame #paris #landmark #history #holyweek

Spent all of Saturday learning about sparkling wines of the world with MW @gormanmcadams and my fellow #wsetdiploma students. Got a few tips on becoming a super-sleuth while blind tasting, and was reminded how much studying I need to do before June 12!

Our Wine Pairing Weekend group chats tomorrow at 11 am ET about biodynamic wines. It’s sure to be a lively discussion about organic vs biodynamic vs natural wines. There will also be tons of tasting notes and wine pairing suggestions. Join the chat if you’d like to learn more; just follow #winepw. My post, featuring two wines from Montinore Estate in Willamette Valley, is live now. I paired a Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris with a Mushroom and Swiss Chard Tart. Link to the details is in my bio. . . . #biodynamicwine #organicgrapes #sustainablefarming #earthday #PinotGris #PinotNoir #MontinoreEstate #willamettevalley #winepairing #foodandwine #winestagram #winelover

I took a walk around Central Park yesterday, when the sun was shining and it looked - and felt - like spring. Today is overcast and chilly but I’m remembering the lovely flowers I saw as I meandered about. For anyone who needs a breath of spring today, here’s a dose of hydrangea to perk up your spirits! . . . #spring #centralpark #newyorkcity #thebigapple #hydrangea #nature #moodbooster #flowers #lifeinthecity
