I’ve always appreciated this lovely rose. Wine Enthusiast gave the 2016 92pts. I agree...a perfectly balanced wine which always reminds me of provincial roses.

Bright cherry and strawberry notes married with some citrus finishing with that “old world” long zip of acidity .

This solid Rose is a brilliant marriage of various regions in Provence. Higher altitudes provide maturity without high sugars...the limestone foothills add balanced minerality...
The lower elevations lends characteristics of salt and licorice.

H & B produces a savory Cotes de Provence,
full of charm and perfect for our A Z summers

Amazing Cabernet...I’ve been saving this Plumpjack Red for 8 years and finally opened it to celebrate Memorial Day with dear friends.

My hubby grilled some choice fillets which cried for an epic Cabernet.

Parker gave it a 94+. Impressive terroir. A whiff of antique flowers, rich red berries, anise, silky smooth.

This is the wine that reminds me of being in the barrel room🍷

A new wine for us from the Central Coast of California.

Tropical, lush and creamy. If you need a rich,
Buttery Chardonnay for a party, this is a winner.

Perfect with creamy white sauces loaded with garlic and herbs.

I knew it would be good...the fruit is sourced from a well known and respected vineyard in Edna Valley CA. This wine screams intense varietal character with balanced minerality.

Clean, fresh flavors of lime, lemon zest, and a whiff of grapefruit and mingling citrus aromatics.

Celebrate Mom’s!!!

A perfect Rose, Brunch with my amazing local family Mark, Grace, and Reagon, fun phone calls from my son Luke, my sis Norah and my friend Rhonda❤️and a hug from Max.

Amazing...

A quick note on the Stoller Rose...One of my favs. Bill Stoller is a leader in producing some of the most exquisite Pinot Noirs on the west coast.

His Rose bridges the gap between old world and new world...Oregon is good at that.
This wine has the bright, balanced acidity found in Europe’s Rose’s married with a bouquet of rose petals, red cherry, ripe orange and tropical fruits.

Enjoying a high acid yet lush Albariño with dear friends At Ocotillo in downtown Phoenix...perfect warm weather white wine
(www).

Perfect with our southwest spicy, creamy dishes.

My friend loved the cool dunk in the water glass to keep the wine chilled....completely necessary 😎

Mouth watering Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand...this wine is loaded with lush tropical aromatics.

The palate “bursts” with ripe passion fruit, white pepper and grapefruit. This SB has a
pleasant lingering finish with a slight dash of salt which pairs perfectly with Queen Creek Olive Mill’s Maytag Blue Cheese olives.

Yum!

Please revisit this beautiful Chardonnay.

Creamy, yet elegant. A crafty marriage of bright tropical flavors combined with crisp acidity....A Rombauer alternative at a party price.

My New Favorite Pinot...Why didn’t anyone tell me?

Siduri vineyards focuses primarily on producing excellent Pinot Noirs. Adam and Dianna Lee, the owners 1st ❤️ are Pinot Noirs🍷

Siduri’s 2016 Willamette Valley Pinot is one of the finest bottlings Siduri has produced in over two decades...and I Agree!!!

Everyone is saying this wine is immediately delicious and yet age worthy...resembles a valuable red burgundy. It shows subtle yet powerful red fruit wth hints of flower and forest floor with some pleasing stone minerality on the mid palate.

Enjoying the lingering finish...🍷❤️🍷

Amazing starter for Easter Brunch or Dinner.
Luscious and complex...Tastes like a marriage of Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier all in one wine.

Pairs beautifully with lighter meals...sexy salads, seafood and chicken. Amazing with asparagus...a difficult pairing.

An amazing white burgundy...solid yet fruity, complete with a perfect balance of minerality and chalk, finishing with luscious lemon and mango.
