Sancerre? Sauvignon Blanc!. 2 different Sauvignon Blanca from the same producer, but from different soils. Slight differences, but definitely different. This is what wine is all about!

It’s like Andrea Bocelli meets James Brown... Beautiful Italian Funk! 😏 I was so impressed with this wine when I first tasted it. Give it about 20-30 minutes to let the fruit come out and start to balance out the still pretty high acid! I could look at and smell this one all day, but I’m really enjoying how it’s developing throughout the night... it’s a great example of Sangiovese from Montalcino, without oak aging. #takeyourtime with #finewine

Fantastic blind tasting with the OTV Underground b

Fantastic blind tasting with the OTV Underground blind tasting group today! You don’t know about it because it’s secret, and exclusive, and, well, “underground “...anyway, we took way too much time off, but got right back into it with a superb showing of #russianriversauvignonblanc #springmountainriesling #andersonvalleypinotnoir #napamerlot and the big shocker and wild card for me was the 2012 Napa #charbono Everyone came with their A game, and we all left a little happier and wiser than when we entered! Thank you to this awesome group of people who love to level up and #elevateyourwineexperience #blindtasting #wineeducation #notablewine #goingoldworldnext

When I tasted this rose, I was immediately impressed! I’m a fan of Cab Franc (and Chinon) to begin with, it’s great to see what an amazing Rose it can make! Chinon, in the Loire Valley of France is known best for #cabernetfranc #🍷 Well balanced fruit and acid, medium body, and a delicious and clean finish! I’ll be drinking more of this while I BBQ this summer! #wine #wineporn #instawine #weekendwine #winelover #wineanddine #finewinesforless #eywe

I know it’s early... but I’m in the mood for some Burgundy! Join me on Facebook Live @ 5 CDT tonight with your favorite Pinot and Poetry! I’ll be sharing a few wine rhymes and poems and talking about this premier cru Santenay. There are a few excellent values coming out of Burgundy, and while they still may not compare with wines 5-10X their price, they are still delicious! Looking forward to sharing later! #santenay #burgundy #wine #wineporn #instawine #weekendwine #winelover #wineanddine #finewinesforless

I recently did a private event with some amazing clients discussing the subtle, and sometimes obvious, differences Chardonnay grown in different regions and made by different winemakers can display! They all showed their own unique characteristics from their respective regions and winemaking styles! Chablis had great acidity, minerality, and a well rounded mouthfeel with some lemon and lime going on, overall great balance! Chehalem was perfectly balanced with more stone fruits, pear vibes and well integrated acid, texture, fruit, and complexity! SLH definitely had the ripest more tropical fruits, but still well balanced with acid and complexity. A great comparison tasting all around! #chardonnay #chablis #chablispremiercru #chehalemmountains #santaluciahighlands #winetasting🍷 #wine #notablewine #notablewineevents #eywe #elevateyourwineexperience #wineporn #instawine #weekendwine #winelover #wineanddine #finewinesforless #wineedutainment

After tasting some great wines from Burgundy this

After tasting some great wines from Burgundy this week, I wanted to compare them with one of the “more Burgundian” California producers... The elegance, finesse, and focus of the Morey Saint Denis made it my overall favorite out of the 4 from Burgundy. It definitely had the most structure and capability to age. It was very well balanced, which I’ve found is not always the case with less expensive wines from Burgundy(and by less expensive I mean under $100) The Hanzell Sebella was, as expected, richer, deeper with ripe fruit but also displayed some funky earth and complexity that I love in Pinot Noir! Stylistically the Nuit Saint George (a younger, more née world style) compared most with the Sonoma Coast, but wasn’t as balanced or complex. In the end, I still love Burgundy, and think you will still find some of the best wines in the world in the smaller communes, but “old world” styles of Sonoma Pinot offer amazing relative value in the shorter term and still age beautifully! #burgundy#sonomacoast #pinotnoir #wine #wineporn #instawine #weekendwine #winelover #wineanddine #finewinesforless #winecomparison #elevateyourwineexperience #eywe #edutainment #wineedutainment #wineevent #wineevents #notablewine #notablewineevents #notablewinetasting #notablewineedutainment

If you think I’m posting something about wine because it’s #nationalwineday .... you’re right. 🍷... but just to be a rebel I just drank an IPA. Had this wine 2 days ago, and it’s such a cool version of an “orange wine”... which I’m not a real advocate for in any way. But I do love #semillon and #viognier ... and this slightly oxidized, completely natural style was unique, big and rich with flavor, and as the Fresh Prince said, “Just a bit of a break from the norm
Just a little somethin' to break the monotony...” Try something new and different today. Or any day. It’s your life, enjoy every day with something great! #liveyourbestlife #nationaldrinkwineday #trysomethingnew .

It’s probably not fair to compare the 2, but it was cool to taste the differences between them, even over a few days. They are significantly different vintages, but a similar varietal composition. The #pauillac fruit was deep, drier, and dark, still showing significant tannin. The #napacabernet showed much more ripe fruit, wasn’t as full bodied, and the tannins were softer, and less pronounced. The #boredaux drank great the 1st and 2nd day, while the #californiacabernet was great right out of the bottle, disjointed and out of balance the 2nd day, and on the 3rd day opened up and smoothed out very nicely. One great thing about #cabernetsauvignon is it’s ability to age gracefully in the bottle... even after it’s open!

Had to pop this 2010 Burgundy last night to celebrate the New Year... Every Friday @ 5pm CST I’m doing 15 minutes of wine edutainment on Facebook Live. Bring a bottle and join me... I got some left of this one for tonight. We’ll see how it held up 🤞🏼 Beautiful ruby color with a slight tawny hint on the rim. Complex Earthy leather and rich Cherry aromas
Fresh and bright acid still showing straight out of the bottle, opened up over 20 minutes with soft velvety tannins and great fruit. #champy #burgundy #2010 #happynewyear2021 #vosneromanee #eywe

Popping Corks and Popcorn Party last week! With an Extra Dry Prosecco, a traditional Brut NV Champagne, and a Brut Rose Cap Classique, we had some fun pairing different popcorn flavors with 3 distinctly different styles of bubbly! Always trying to do something different and create even more Notable Wine Events! The virtual scavenger hunt was pretty fun too 😁 Cheers 🥂 #champagne #prosecco #capclassique #sparklingwine #popcorn #gourmetpopcorn

Here’s random mix of wines for me to discuss at tonight’s Virtual Notable Wine Tasting. My client is getting a group of out of state friends together(as they do every Wednesday), but this time I have the honor of providing Notable Wine Edutainment! Not everyone will have the same exact wines, and I did not have the pleasure of choosing them... but these are the basic styles everyone will have. I’m looking forward to creating an amazing moment in time with these lovely ladies, and hopefully I’ll teach them a thing or 2 about wine 😬🍷🤔
