“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.
More bubbles to share. A wonderful #cremantdebourgogne made from #pinotnoir and #chardonnay.. The #vineyards are in the Auxerrois. Loads of minerality, salinity, and racy acidity in this sparkler. Apples and pears with white flowers, a hint of yeast and brioche, nutty smoke on the finish. Lively, fine bubbles with a frothy perlage, This nuanced wine was great with swordfish and Dijon mustard sauce. #cremant seems to be my go to wine from all 8 areas of #france where they can be made. Got this one at @astorwines @veuveambal. Apparently the company is the largest producer of #cremantdebourgogne. A family run company begun in 1898, they have over 100 years of experience with these wines. Moreover, it was founded in #rully by a #pioneeringwoman named Marie Ambal. Eric Piffaut and his son Aurélien now run the winery and are the sixth generation to do so. #sustainablefarming #stewardsoftheland, the family follows minimal intervention. With 250 hectares of vines in #burgundy over six different #terroirs, their wines expreas the complexity of this historic region. #frenchwinescholar #winewednesday
This Bourbon features blends of 5 and 7 year-old bourbons. This Kentucky whiskey has gorgeous notes of spice, caramel, vanilla, cedar, tar, and butterscotch. This treat from @limestonebranch came into my home as an offshoot from the TV series #Yellowstone. This Seventh Generation Distiller has been making #bourbon for 200 years.
Crémant d’Alsace from Pierre Sparr. A lovely example of sparkling wine from grapes grown on limestone, granite, and chalky clay from the Vosges hillsides. The grapes are whole cluster pressed for this sparklee. Lees aging for a 12-16 month period before disgorgement gives the wine fantastic yeast and toast notes, texture, and depth. I lives this blend of #Pinotblanc and #pinotauxerrois. Crémant is such a great alternative to more expensive sparklers and the ones from #alsace always confirm that view. #frenchwinescholar #france #sparklingwine #cremant @wilsondaniels #pierresparr #alsace
