In my glass (es) tonight a 2018 Syncline Rose ( 44% Mourvedre 28% Cinsault 28% Grenache) and a 2014 Gloria Ferrer Extra Brut. We paired with a caprese style salad of greens, avocado, mozzarella and nectarine and a noodle bowl with shrimp, bok choy, brocolli, mukimame, red pepper, garlic, carrot, a broth of dragon green tea, miso, and soy with rice noodles and seaweed. The rose was light and tasting it with the sparkling cleansed my palate bring forth the fruit notes. Both went well with the food for different reasons. The sparkling as a refreshing palate cleanser, the rose pulling forth the umami in the food and the food pulling forth fruit and floral in the wine. All in all lovely pairings all around....oh wait...there is still dessert! Coming soon! @gloriaferrerwines

Had to share this fun shot of me and Loki from our shoot yesterday with the fabulous RuBen Permel. RuBen made me feel pretty AND he bonded with Loki, getting a head butt after this shot! (See! He does like you RuBen!)

2013 Descendants Liegeois Dupont Red Mountain Syrah from Hedges family Estate.
This is from the Red Mountain AVA in Washington's Yakima Valley AVA. All day we have been working on our video interview with Hedges winemaker Sarah Hedges Goedhart (watch for those soon). So opening a bottle of Hedges wine was a no brainers this evening. The geeky bits...
These grapes are from their Les Grosses Vineyard on Red Mountain. Destemmed, partial crush, stainless steel fermenters...pressed to barrel, malo-lactic fermentation, racked off lees. Barrel aged 11 month in 40% new American and French Oak. 14.5% abv $29.00 drop My notes
It opens with great Syrah funk that I adore! Earth smoke barnyard leather cocoa....my nose was in heaven! The fruit on the palate is blueberries, blackberries and figs, with dark cherries and chocolate and then a bit of lovely baking spice on the end. Intense without being overpowering, we sipped this for a while (working on videos) before pairing (you'll have to watch for the pairings) @hedgeswine

What to pair with a Clairette Blanche? Shellfish

What to pair with a Clairette Blanche? Shellfish are perfect! We did mussels and scallops. You might find notes of pineapple, citrus, mint and anise. We tied these in with a salad of fresh greens shaved anise root and fronds, mint, avocado and a citrus vinaigrette. We did some fresh pineapple on the side.
