Found this 9 year old Napa Cabernet that needed to be opened… it was worthy of a wine rhyme 😁
The fruit was still holding up well, but I wouldn’t age this one any longer. Still lots of tannin and structure, and would have been great with a steak… but it was nice to share with a few people who can appreciate a bottle with some age! 🎵🍷

When you open a bottle of wine that has not been filtered, or ‘cold stabilized’ you may notice a few things floating around in the bottle and in the glass that make you wonder, should I even drink that?! My answer is usually yes, but, of course, there are always exceptions.
We’ve all had some cork remnants (I call it fiber😉) end up in our glass when aunt Lucille opens the bottle with her new fancy corkscrew and ends up breaking off a piece of cork, right? Or we all know the little fruit flies that show up as soon as you pour your glass!
What is acceptable to leave floating in the glass?
If you are like me and appreciate unfined, unfiltered wines, your favorite thing to see in the bottom of your glass is that sediment of grape skin tannins from an aged bottle of wine. Aaahhhh! I get chills just thinking about it. 🥰. Still, you don’t want to drink them
Tartrate crystals are a little less appealing. They aren’t harmful, but they aren’t something I really enjoy looking at sitting at the bottom of my glass. I do appreciate that the wine has not undergone the cold stabilization process to filter them out. Apparently I kept it too cold too long 🙃 and did my own cold stabilization!
Share any other things you’ve had floating in your wine and I’ll help you avoid the bad stuff and appreciate the good stuff!!

It was great to see this small producer on a wine list on a road trip, and in a half bottle too! Great restaurant, great wine 🍷!
What do you think about 1/2 bottles of wine? I love seeing them on wine lists, and wish there were more options available in more places…

The great times I had in Willamette Valley were just a seed planted to create a special Oregon series of Notable Wine Tours for a few Pinot, Chard, and Syrah lovers!
There are many other great wines made in W.V., but let’s focus and have a great time, shall we?

Hosting the first official Bubbles & Bites tasting

Hosting the first official Bubbles & Bites tasting event at Jane. Southlake was a blast!
Great people, great wines, great food, great fun! A truly Notable Wine Event to be remembered…and repeated!
Thank you Mo, Angela, and Brooke for seeing my vision, executing, and creating perfect food pairings!
And thank you all the awesome Jane patrons who came out to taste, learn, and have some fun! 🎵🍷
Remember all that sparkles is not Champagne 😉 and you don’t have to spend a fortune to enjoy Grand Cru!

Do you like Champagne but don’t always want to spend $60-$80+ per bottle for something decent?
We’ll cover that… and so much more. The info and wine will be well worth the price of admission!🥂
Learn why we use certain glassware, what makes the bubbles so tiny, what foods go well with sparkling wines, what regions to look for for the best sparkling wine values… and more!!
Looking forward to hosting this event with @janesouthlake this Thursday!

The experience I had at Left Coast Estate was fun, memorable, and educational.
A big thanks to Shardul for taking the effort and time to show us around and make us feel welcome! This family has such a great vision for the future of the estate and valley in general, I’m looking forward to collaborating along the journey.
It’s a beautiful place to visit, they are experimenting with some fun wine making styles and varietals! 🎵🍷
Oh, yeah, and riding in this beast was definitely a great time😁

Happy Father’s Day to all the dad’s who drink

Happy Father’s Day to all the dad’s who drink Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, and Syrah!
This was a fun comparison of style, place, and varietal!
1. Marlborough, NZ vs. Napa/Sonoma #sauvignonblanc -
2 completely different styles, if you don’t like one or the other, try Sancerre 😉Both great representations of the expected style, the Picayune was very reminiscent of white Bordeaux, a subtle and dry style with beautiful aromatics and creaminess! I’d prefer the Picayune on most occasions, but NZ SB has its time and place.
2. Corbieres vs. Sonoma #rosé - great showing of a beautiful lighter ‘Provence style’ and a richer, fuller body style. I preferred the Corbieres, but the Arcudi is a nice option if you like more weight and less acid and freshness.
3. New Zealand vs. Crozes Hermitage #Syrah - this was the most fun to compare in my opinion…they were more similar than I expected! The Cru was a touch lighter, but well balanced, easy drinking with a perfect gameyness that complimented the #lambchops ! I’ve always been a fan of the Jaboulet #crozeshermitage with excellent ripe dark fruits balanced with subtle acidity and smooth silky tannin! It was hard to pick a winner here, but if I had to choose I’d go with the Jabolet
~Comparing wine styles, is bound to bring smiles, on the faces of people from places apart miles~

Be the content.
If I could be the contents of this bottle, I would be…
Fresh out of the bottle, Earthy aromas of wet leaves and funk flavors of rich ripe dark cherry fruit flavors, medium acid with a little heat and spice. Complex and delicious. Dry and tannic on the finish , drinking great right now. After 20+ minutes open complex savory and leather aromas. A perfect complement with butter popcorn and a hint of truffle. This wine develops with each sip and keeps getting better! I was hoping to save some for tomorrow, but I don’t think it’s possible, I just keep tasting it and it’s almost gone! If I had to score it I give 92 points NW, but points scores are bullshit anyway, right?
This is just a preview of my trip to Oregon… Can’t wait to try nothing but Oregon Pinot for days!!!
