Excited to talk about #oltrepopavese wines and the @consorzio.oltrepo tonight with @tizianaforni @grapevineadventures @lizbchicago @martindredmond @linda_lbwcsw @syrah_queen @asiantestkitchen @evelynbasile2 @thewininghour @foodwineclick @lucianarota.press @veronese.carlo. Always love discussing wines from this #sparklingdestination #italianwinescholar #italianwines #italianwineambassador #wineeducation #lombardy #wineoclock🍷
Loved this #semillon from @happswinery in #westernaustralia #margaretriverregion. Wonderful pear, grass, hay and mango notes together with good acidity and a lovely waxy mouthfeel made this wine a great weekend treat.
This lovely wine has smoky, spice, cedar notes together with black and red fruits. Silky tannins, good acidity, and an enveloping mouthfeel make this a great wine for winter dishes. Leather, tar, and bramble came in a third wave of the wine which had a long finish. Elegant, complex, and persistent on the palate, this one is definitely one that could age another 3-5 years. The wine I tried was a 2015 and was wonderful today but has a way to go too. I decanted it which I almost never do and the additional air brought out so many wonderful notes in the wine it made me wonder why I don’t do it more often. #bandol @domainelasuffrene #frenchwines #frenchwinescholar #provence #winterwine
“The time is always right to do what is right.”
Did you know #brazil makes great #sparklingwine? Grapes can be #pinotnoir #chardonnay and #rieslingitalico blend, #moscatel, or #glera. I think you will be impressed. Great producers @familiasaltonwinery @grupomiolo @casavalduga @casaperini @pizzato @familiageisse @lidiocarraro @vinicolaaurora @coopvinicolagaribaldi and others. This one I bought at @totalwine. #bubblesallthetime
Today is a holiday in Italy where an unattractive old looking #woman gives out coal to children who are bad and candy to those who were good, the Feast of the Epiphany. Mostly though, the Befana signifies the end of the Winter holidays and after two weeks of vacation, everyone has to go back to work, even in Italy. I always suffer from what is called #sindromedarientro or the dreaded re-entry. Please don’t misunderstand, I love my jobs but still it is work to get back into the swing.
