It’s #NationalZinfandelDay so I thought I’d share a pic of my tasting at Ridge Vineyards in Lytton Springs where some of the best Zinfandel vines in #Sonoma have been growing since 1901 - and they are grown completely organically! The first 2 glasses hold a Zinfandel dominant true #fieldblend. WIYG today? Cheers! 🍷🍷 #sonoma #wine #Zinfandel #winecountry #winewednesday #winestagram #winewinewine🍷 #winelife #visitsonoma

Are you a fan of the #Bobal grape? Having once faded into near obscurity, @bodegamustiguillo has championed the grape and produces a #wine that showcases the grape’s best expression of itself. 🍇🍇🍇 72% Bobal/17% Garnacha/11% Syrah, the grapes are certified organic and fermented in a combination of French oak and cement vats. Fruit forward on the nose and the palate but notes of spice/tobacco are added to a nice finish. This wine is juicy but well balanced with a plush mouthfeel. For right around $15 it’s a great find.#ElTerrerazo #Valencia #Spain #QPR

Looking for Thanksgiving wine ideas? #Rasteau - part of the Southern #Rhône region of #France might be just the ticket! #rhone #Rasteauwine #winophiles

Happy #winewednesday! I just thought I’d share this beautiful scene from #Sonoma - Geyserville to be exact. It’s a beautiful time of year there and we saw no impact from the fire in our travels other than when someone pointed out a burned area on a ridge. There was also no lingering fire smell to be found, just the lovely smell of fermenting grapes! 🍇 #wine #winetravels #sonomavalley #sonomastrong #winelover #winecountry #winestagram

Finally got to meet 1/2 of the duo that create the amazing wines at Crux Winery! Only 1,000 cases produced but wow they are so incredible! Stay tuned for more on these beauties 🍷🍷

Happy Sunday from Sonoma! We had an amazing tour at Ridge Vineyards in Lytton Springs. If you think large production equals highly manipulated wine, Ridge Vineyards will prove you wrong. Organic growing, indigenous yeast, true field blends are how it’s done here - even if they do have a 40,000 tank in their production facility! #Sonoma #organicwine #indigenousyeast #fieldblend
