#HappyChardonnayDay 🎉🎉🎉​ ​ Chardonnay is the most widely planted white grape variety, globally. Its adaptation to a wild range of climate makes the cut.​ ​ “Winemaker’s wine” is Chardonnay’s nickname since its neutral aromas and flavors, it can be made into so many different styles from lean, crisp Chablis, sparkling Blanc de Blancs, to rich and creamy white wines aged in oak. A wine that is so versatile and compelling. ​ ​ @aslina_wines Chardonnay, produced by the renowned first female black winemaker @nbiyela , sets the wonderful example of how Chardonnay can thrive in any part of the world. ​ ​ A tribute to Nitski’s grandmother, Aslina Chardonnay not only offers exuberant aromas of citrus, white peach, and pineapple, but the brilliant acidity, minerality with a hint of oak truly makes this Chardonnay extraordinary. ​ ​ To celebrate #chardonnayday, which part of the world’s Chardonnay do you plan on sipping?​ ​ ​ #酒意思 #sipwithjoyce  ​ #chardonnay #wientasting​ #winelover #southafricawine​ #winetime #winelovers #wineoclock​ #drinkmorewine #wineinstagram ​ #celebration #wineenthusiast #womeninwine ​ #winelifestyle #sommelier #femalewinemaker​ #winephotography​ #ワイン #포도주 #部落客  ​ #葡萄酒 #夏多內 #侍酒師

As @sommation_live #rose week continues, today, I’m tasting two distinctive delicious Rosés, both are from the U.S.​ ​ Located in Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, @mauritsonwines has more than 150 years of grape growing heritage. Clay Mauritson, the 6th generation of the family, bottled the first vintage in 1998. ​ ​ This 2020 Mauritson Rosé made from 100% Zinfandel, a stellar grape variety of Dry Creek Valley, is expressive both on the nose and palate with red berries compote, ripe white nectarine, and pink grapefruit. Vivid, exuberant and mouthwatering. ​ ​ Moving from west coast to east, @osmotewine is established in 2014 by the young and talented Finger Lakes born, Ben Riccardi, to show his voice and the region’s tremendous potential. ​ ​ First impression with this 2019 Cabernet France Rosé is mineral followed by notes of white raspberry, candied tangerine peel and savory herbs. The wine is dry with a little grip maybe. It’s lean and bright. I can certainly see myself sipping the wine overlooking Seneca Lake on a warm summer evening. ​ ​ Special thanks to @Banvillewinemerchants @mauritsonwines @claymauritson for your generous support. ​ ​ To learn more about @mauritsonwines, don’t forget to check out @sommation_live Ep194 as @carrielynstrong chat with Emma Kudritzki Hall, Head Winemaker at Mauritson Winery. ​ ​ #酒意思 #sipwithjoyce #sommation #sonomacountywine #flxwine #cabernetfranc #newyorkwine #tastytuesday #zinfandel #rosélover #roséallyear  #wineoclock #winedown #roseallday #wineinstagram #winetime  #drinkmorewine #winelifestyle #wino #winetasting #sommelier #ワイン  #포도주 #部落客 #葡萄酒 #粉紅酒  #品酒 #侍酒師

Everything started in 2000. Finaca Museum is an expansion of the Grupo Barón de Ley outside of La Rioja region and an open air vine museum. The winery is located in Cigales DO, in the heart of Castilla y Leon and west of Ribera del Duero. The region enjoys Continental climate with huge diurnal temperature change which providing an ideal growing environment for the grapes to ripen slowly but maintain their acidity. ​ ​ What I have in my glass is Finca Museum Reserva 2015. This wine is made with 100% Tempranillo, locally known as Tinta del País. Sourcing from 70-year-old vineyards planted in clay-limestones soils with an altitude 800 meters above sea level. ​ The Reserva goes through 22 months ageing in new French oak and additional 15 months in the cellar before releasing to the market. ​ ​ This wine is deep ruby red with blue hue with exuberant aromas of red and black fruit notes with violet, all spice, vanilla, and menthol. The tertiary notes has started to unfold itself, leather, coffee and dark chocolate. Thanks to its bright acidity, the wine tastes vibrant and full of energy. ​ ​ I asked Chef Bruce to recreate the dish, ibérico ham with scrambled eggs, we had in La Boqueria, Barcelona years ago. This dish is usually served for breakfast or lunch. This pairing not only works wonderfully but bring us back to our sweet memory in Spain. ¡Salud!​ ​ ​ ​ *Special thanks to: @carolinawinebrandsusa, @parisgourmetny @odilagalernoel for your generous support​ *Tune in @sommation_live on 11/5, at 3 pm and watch @stefanieschwartz interviews @victor_ifu with @bodegasmuseum​ *Treat yourself a proper wine glass in @gabriel_glas and save some wine for later enjoyment in @coravin​ 👨‍🍳: @brucekuo.brooklyn​ ​ ​ #酒意思 #sipwithjoyce #sommation #ArtesanosDelVino #Crear #elcotoderioja #barondeley #colinfoodforme #carolinawinebrandsusa ​ ​ ​ ​ #spanishwine #spanishwinelover #wineofspain #foodandwine #tempranillo #wineoclock #winepairing #winetime #drinkmorewine #wineliftstyle #sommelier #sommlife #getsomm #ワイン #포도주 #部落客 #葡萄酒 #紅酒 #餐酒搭配 #侍酒師 #台灣侍酒師
