Because I'm focused on hopefully reversing my #diabetes (got my #A1C down to 6), I have severely restricted my #alcohol intake and still haven't tried #BlackGirlMagic #wines I've seen.

Given the blinding #whiteness of the #industry, globally and in the #US, I definitely plan to add their delicious-sounding #SauvignonBlanc and #CabernetMerlot blend to my list of selections when I do buy and drink bottles again (I don't "collect").

These are the best sancerre #wines for all budgets 🍷 https://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/food-drink/wine/best-sancerre-wine-b2325631.html?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1682413154-3 #press

There are so many #Italian distributors around but so many of them have good #wine ... this was from Friday when Vinifera stopped by with some oldies but goodies. This book is honestly a little weird but there are some #wines that I absolutely love in it!

This lineup alone highlights three wineries (Barberani, Notaio, and Contesa) and have some stellar wines ... plus, just look at that Polago label!

@mylastsenbei Trying out this Chilean Merlot, but I think I like the Aussie Merlot better. Yellow Tail. #wines

Another day, another portfolio tasting! Massanois is fairly new to #Virginia and so many of these wines are brand new to the market for us ... but many of these #wines are also well-known and well-respected producers. So, it was a great day of tasting wines and figuring out what to ask my rep to try to get approved thru the state, what's approved, and what's worth it ... the photo is just a few highlights!

I've tried to make a Top 15 of #wines I want to taste in the near future. Wines I've never tasted or I still have to find one I like. Here they are:
Priorat
Dogliani
Nizza
Valtellina Superiore
Amarone
Bordeaux blend
Fiano d’Avellino
Taurasi
Ormeasco
Gutturnio superiore
Costiere de Nimes
Vermentino di Gallura
Friuli Isonzo Franconia DOC (Blaufränkisch)
Barbaresco
Collio Pinot Grigio DOC

Some of these are available in the UK but I'll have to explore some while in Italy #winetasting #winelover

Not sure what to do tonight to cap off your #GoodFriday?

Why not come down to Runner Duck Wine Room, Kings St. #Lancaster & join #ProfDJ for an evening of 70's pop, rock & soul, all spun on vintage vinyl.

a bit of cultural time-travel is just what you need this (extended) weekend - great wine too!

Worrying news from #Jerez. According to a recently published study by a research team from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, warming temperatures are threatening the future survival of #Sherry #wines such as #Fino and #Manzanilla.
But works are underway to develop sustainable solutions to this challenge.
All about it in my latest Decanter news story

So tomorrow inventory is preceded by a class for my three somms-in-training on red #Rhône and Rhône-style #wines. Have to keep the #tasting under $100 cost wholesale, so I've queued up Pasquier Plan de Dieu '20, Cote de Tablas rouge '18, and Clape Vin des Amis '20. Am I spoiling them?

#Scoutwild #wines are very good. #winelovers #wine

@Jasonlett Conventional and #natural #wines increasingly seem to occupy separate #distribution channels, not a continuum, and the good old three-tier system doesn't help.
