Istine Chianti gets me insanely excited. This isn’t some insipid old-school thin Chianti. It’s gorgeous, red-fruit forward and crisp. I need a lot more of this in my life!

2020 Clusel-Roch Les Schistes Cote-Rotie With some burnt ends to celebrate International Syrah day this past Sunday!

Probably one of my favorite combos for many reasons. 1) I just love Cote-Rotie 2) I just love bbq 3) Syrah and bbq go soooo well together

I recently did a tasting of the 2017 Marquis d’Angerville Volnay Premier Crus and wrote about it on Substack!
If you want to know Burgundy better, then d’Angerville has to be a producer to look at! #redburgundy #pinotnoir #volnay

Great evening of Oddero Barolos with Dolcetto and Barbera thrown in. To quote them: tradition is not a trend! Hear hear!!

For those nights you just need to pull back with a banger combo. Great Barolo and Bolognese=life

2023 Arnot-Roberts Watson Ranch chard+tikka masala ftw!!! The Chard is fresh, with loads of citrus and chalkiness that goes great with the spices in the tikka masala. #chardonnay #californiawine #foodandwinepairing
