To explore and chronicle the grape, it's many stories and it's journey from dirt to glass.

Bubbles to brighten my day, as we caught bits of Arlington on the news. I waved to Mom and Dad! Happy Memorial Day and National Wine Day! Here's a toast to all those who put themselves on the line for the rest of us.

It's Memorial Day a day we honor those who lost their lives while serving out country. It's also National Wine Day here in the US. So I recommend a toast to those who served.
These beautiful bottles have graced my glass recently, but I don't know what I'll be opening today.
What are you opening and toasting with? #nationalwineday

Michael made apricot Kolache. While I suppose you could pair with coffee, what about a dessert wine or an apricot bellini?

A Tale of Two Chardonnays.
Today my friends, is Chardonnay Day! We celebrate with a piece on two stunning Chardonnays from Washington. The grapes for these wines are grown in Vineyards that look across the Yakima Valley at each other. We spent time in each of these Vineyards with the winemakers last July. The top photo is from Roskamp Vineyard in the Snipes Mountain AVA, where we met Co Dinn of Co Dinn Cellars.
The photo is the view North to the Rattlesnakes Hill AVA. The bottom photo is the DuBrul Vineyard in the Rattlesnake Hills AVA, where we met with Kerry Shiels of Côte Bonneville. The photo is looking out to Snipes Mountain. We share our visit and discuss the differences in these wines! How are you celebrating Chardonnay Day? @codinncellars

For lunch today a little gnocchi, a little salad, a little pizza with a Valpolicella Superiore from Cecilia Beretta. This is a Valpolicella wine with Corcina, Corcinone and Rondinella. It is not Amarone or Ripasso or Recioto. Just regular wine. It is bright with good acid and great with food! Watch for a piece coming out soon in this region! #Valpolicella

We've done a few virtual tastings recently, but this one was so well done! @fergusonsdowntown updated their "Pour in the Alley" events to be virtual. We jumped in on this "winemaker Event" not knowing what to expect. This event was coordinated by Ferguson's Downtown with wine shop/wine bar @garagiste_lv and Cheese and delicious stuff shop (and a favorite of mine) @curedandwhey ! We picked up our package on Friday, which included, 2 bottles of wine from Garagiste, a cheese and charcuterie package from Cured & Whey a couple of tasting glasses, a tasting car and a sticker from Ferguson's Downtown. As we researched the wine, we realized we knew of this winemaker, Greg Brewer, from Santa Barbara! We tasted his Diatom Chardonnay and his Ex Post Facto Syrah. We had not realized that he would be there for the virtual tasting! (Bonus, winemaker Sonja Magdevski stopped by...she is the winemaker at Casa Dumetz) The evening was really informative and well coordinated with Mario and Eric of Garagiste interjecting questions for Greg, Emily from Cured and Whey discussed the cheeses and other pairing options for the wines and the folks at Ferguson's were careful to be sure no online questions were overlooked. It was a packed evening with great wine and food. We did get a little bonus of catching up with some Zu family who attended also! (Shout outs to Seb and Lorri as well as Dean and Amanda) If you are a wine lover in Vegas, check this out! I look forward to getting down to Garagiste when we are out and about again. If you are comfy getting out now, they have patio service at their downtown spot. #virtualtasting
