On a beautiful and warm Wednesday evening in early September, I was invited to an event organized by @drinkchile, celebrating Chile’s commitment to sustainability. ​ ​ The setting was beautifully laid out at @brooklyngrange , providing one of kind experience and with gorgeous view of Brooklyn and Manhattan. ​ ​ Did you know more than 80% of the exported Chilean wine are certified for sustainability and social responsibility? ​ ​ Wines of Chile Sustainability Code, launched in 2010, is an initiative that provides guidelines for wineries to obtain the certification. Considered one of the most extensive accreditation program in the world, Wines of Chile Sustainability Code’s standards are broken into four areas: farming practices, work in the winery (including bottling and packaging), social responsibility, and tourism with 346 requirements in total. ​ ​ In 10 years, there are 76 wineries certified by the Wines of Chile Sustainability Code, representing almost 85 % of Chilean wine exported. Impressive, right? ​ ​ There were more than 40 certified wineries exhibiting at the event. Slide through to see a few highlights of the night. ​ ​ Shout out to @drinkchile and the wineries who care about the planet we live in. Look for the “Certified Sustainable Wine of Chile” seal on the bottle to support Chilean wine. #drinkchile #sustainablewine ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ #酒意思 #sipwithjoyce  ​ #chilewine #chileanwine #winesofchile ​ #sustainablechile #wineindustry ​ #winelover #wineenthusiast ​ #winespectator #sustainablewinemaking ​ #winelover #winesofinstagram  ​ #winephotography #gogreen ​ #drinksustainable #brooklyngrange #winetasting #nyc ​ #asianwineprofessionals #sommelier #sommlife #ワイン #포도주 #部落客  ​ #葡萄酒 #品酒 #侍酒師

When we talk about Bourgogne wines, people often associate wines from a few celebrated villages, along with Premier Cru and Grand Cru appellations, but the production of the three classifications combined only accounts for 47% of the region’s total production. ​ ​ The rest are the regional appellations. They are the best kept secrets and what locals drink on a daily basis. The wines are value driven with great quality, and the most important of all, they provide a broader glimpse of what Bourgogne wines taste like in a nutshell. ​ ​ I attended the Bourgogne/Chablis workshop hosted by Bourgogne Wines Ambassador, Kristie Petrullo Campbell, last week. During the workshop, @kpc_wine walked us through 6 wines, from the Petit Chablis AOP to the Mâconnais. All the wines drank beautifully and I don’t see what not to love! ​ ​ Oftentimes, we overlook these regional Bourgogne wines and miss out on what they can offer. Grab a bottle of Bourgogne and get to know the region. Cheers! 🍷​ ​ Visit @vinsdebourgogne to learn more about Bourgogne wines. ​ ​ #酒意思 #sipwithjoyce ​ #BourgogneWines #BacktoBourgogne​ #Chablis #PureChablis #OneofaKind​ #petitchablis #Chardonnay #pinotnoir #vinblanc #vinrouge #winetasting #workshop #instawine #winelifestyle​ #asianwineprofessionals ​ #frenchwine #wineprofessional #winelover​ #NYC #bourgognewine #sommelier ​ #sommlife #ワイン #포도주 #部落客 ​ #葡萄酒 #品酒 #侍酒師

Have you ever tasted rosé made with Saint Laurent? Saint Laurent, a highly aromatic dark-skinned grape variety, is believed to be an offspring of Pinot Noir with an unknown second parent. Its origin remains a mystery. ​ ​ Commonly grown in Austria, Germany, and Slovakia, Saint Laurent is gaining popularity in the new worlds, like California, Canada, and New Zealand. It’s also the most widely planted red variety in the Czech Republic. ​ ​ Still, dry Saint Laurent dominates the major production but sparkling, dry rosé and sweet style can also be found. ​ ​ Saint Laurent usually exhibits bouquet of red rose, red berries, Morell cherry, cardamon, tobacco and savory spices on the nose. On the palate, it’s bright with dark lush fruit, sandy tannins, good structure, and with potential to age. ​ ​ @brucekuo.brooklyn made this quick pasta dish after work by using @valentepasta Black Olive & Garlic Fettuccine with ground pork, Chinese chive, and Radicchio Rosso de Chioggia with an Asian twist. He added in a little soy sauce while sauteing the ground pork. Nice touch! ​ ​ I paired the dish with @borelldiehl Saint Laurent Rosé Trocken. I love how the acidity and savoryness of the Rosé compliments the pasta. ​ Do you notice the color of the Rosé and Radicchio? They match! 💕​ ​ ​ #酒意思 #sipwithjoyce #rose ​ #wineofgermany #stlaurent #pfalzwine ​ #borelldiehl #germanwine #sustainablewine ​ #picoftheday #rosélover #foodandwine ​ #winepairing #wineanddine #roseallday ​ #asianwineprofessionals #valentepasta​ #womeninwine #homecooking ​ #winetime #sommelier #ワイン #포도주 ​ #部落客 #餐酒 #餐酒搭配 #葡萄酒 ​ #粉紅酒 #品酒 #侍酒師
