Wines from Corsica? Of “Corse”! (#Winophiles)

Never thought of Corsica and wine before? Well, to be honest, neither had I, but the French #Winophiles are exploring the island and its wine this month and I have to tell you, I’m so glad I decided to join them. The wines I tried were not only delicious, they were very affordable, making Corsica…

White Before Red? Definitely. Sometimes.

As a “general rule” when tasting through several wines it is almost always best to drink in a certain order: bubbles, white, red, sweet. The rule makes sense because you want to drink lighter bodied wines and wines with higher acidity before drinking bigger bodied wines and wine with higher tannins. But rules are sometimes…

Wine & Cheese, the Heart & Soul of France (#Winophiles)

I love wine. I love cheese. And I love France. So when I saw that the French #Winophiles topic for June was French wine and cheese I couldn’t resist participating. Taking all things gastronomique seriously, France is synonymous with fine wine and haute cuisine. Wine and cheese are a daily staple of the French diet, truly…

CapaBunga – My Favorite Bottle Closure!

I bought two of these little wine bottle closures called CapaBunga on a whim. I liked that they were flat, making them easier to fit in the refrigerator door. And they are cheap! I can’t remember exactly what I paid, but you can buy a 2-pack for $7.95 online directly from CapaBunga. They worked like…

This Troublemaker red blend from @hopefamilywines has 23% #Grenache so it is my #internationalgrenacheday sip! Bold fruit, a hint of espresso, silky tannins and a lingering finish, it’s a great wine for the price point. It’s big, bold and beautiful 🍷🍷 #wine #instawine #winetime Thank you to @kay_oas for the recommendation! 🤗

So. I asked my husband for a winemaking kit for my birthday 😂 Interesting to say the least. I couldn’t get the cap off the bag so I cut the juice out! 😂 It’s hard to think of wine as bottled poetry after adding oak sawdust 😅#ignoranceisbliss On an #emptynest note, some parents turn their kids room into a craft room but apparently I’m making @aubzilla_ ‘s room a fermentation space! 🤣 #wine #homewinemaking #winewinewine #wino #sidehustlewino #winelover #winetime

Happy Monday! I was the lucky winner of this beautiful vase of cut flowers at @mariettadaisiesgarden club meeting this morning! Are they not stunning? Swipe ⬅️ to see more of nature’s beauty in the form of a hummingbird that visits my deck everyday! 🤗♥️💐🌸🌺🌷

This stunning #Chardonnay from @grgichhills was an absolutely beautiful addition to our #fridaynight this past #weekend. 🍷🍷🍷 Made with organic grapes that undergo no malolactic fermentation, the wine stays crisp and fresh with citrus, floral and stone fruit notes. Oak aging in a combination of new and neutral barrels and foudres gives the wine depth and complexity with a lingering finish. 🍷🍷🍷 It is impossible to talk about Milenjko Grgich without noting that he was the winemaker at Chateau Montelena in 1973 - the man behind the wine that won against Burgundy wines in a 1976 blind tasting now commonly referred to as the Judgement of Paris, forever changing the course of Napa Valley and California #wine. 🍷🍷🍷 Miljenko Grgich and Austin Hills began the Grgich Hills label in 1977 and have crafted beautiful wines ever since. ### #napavalley #CaliforniaWineMonth #winehistory #winewriter #wineblogger #winelover #YouCanSipWithUs
