The holidays are here and that means lots of bottles of sparkling wine are being popped. While many are opening Champagne, Cava, Prosecco, or perhaps a California sparkling wine, I opened up an American sparkling wine. It was the first release of the Vara Silverhead Brut NV, a wine that is a mix of grapes from two countries, made by pedigreed people and sold at an affordable price which is why it is the #pleasethepalate #wineoftheweek. Happy #winewednesday

First the label caught my eye and made me smile. A girl is standing on rocks, surrounded by water, holding a flower with the wind blowing. That is the label of Turning Tide Wines. But then I took a sip of the wine. Light and fresh but with depth and complexity, this was a pleasurable and drinkable wine that is perfect for any setting, from a picnic to a casual dinner. And that is why the Turning Tides Wines 2021 Red Blend from the Santa Ynez Valley is the #pleasethepalate #wineoftheweek. Happy #winewednesday!

There is a wine holiday for every grape and December 4th each year is Cabernet Franc Day. The day was created by Lori and Mike Budd, founders of Dracaena Wines in Paso Robles. So, as we get ready to celebrate Cabernet Franc Day, I am enjoying the Dracaena Wines 2019 Cabernet Franc from Paso Robles, the #pleasethepalate #wineoftheweek on this #winewednesday as we get ready for #CabernetFrancDay

Words like violet, red berry, earthy, leather, full-bodied and intense, complex, and elegant are used to describe Barbaresco. And, as I stuck my nose in the glass, I would have guessed that is what was in there. But, while it was a Nebbiolo, it was not a Barbaresco. Rather it was the Giornata 2018 Nebbiolo from the Luna Matta Vineyard in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles, the #pleasethepalate #wineoftheweek
