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

A Tale of Two Chardonnays. Today my friends, is C 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 @cotebonneville @wineyakimavalley @wa_state_wine #SnipesMountainAVA #RattlesnakeHillsAVA #yakimaValley #chardonnay #chardonnayday #youcansipwithus #wine #winestagram
For lunch today a little gnocchi, a little salad, 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 #Corvina #Corvinone #Rondinella @valpolicellawines #ValpolicellaSuperioreDOC #youcansipwithus #italianwines #winestgram #wine #travelinabottle

We've done a few virtual tastings recently, but th 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 #youcansipwithus #wine #winelovers #wineandcheese #winestagram #cheerstofriends #zureunions #welldoneevent

It's the end of an era. Randall Grahm of Bonny Do It's the end of an era. Randall Grahm of Bonny Doon sent out his last Dewnster wine club letter this morning. These wonderful wines will be no more. Randall sold the company in January. You will see Bonny Doon wines, well 4 of them, in larger quantities with wider availability. But those gloriously quirky wines, like the reserves made in demi-johns or carboys, the sparkling riesling, the Old Telegram...they will be gone. We opened a bottle last week and the nostalgia caused me to write. Read on for our pairing, a look at the history and a look to the future with his new vineyard Popelouchum. #BonnyDoon #RandallGrahm #Dewnster #endofanera #youcansipwithus #wine #winelover #winestagram #2015CigareBlanc #TheRhoneRanger
