Definitely one of my favorite wines so far this year! 2020 Lola Russian River Pinot Noir, red fruit, strawberry notes, very elegant. Bit of baking spice. Excellent with paprika chicken & potatoes from @nytimes cooking! #wine #winepairing #winesky

Excellent wine tonight! Dineen Vineyards Heritage Blend 2021 from #YakimaValley. Bordeaux style blend, enjoyable now and some aging potential. Red berry fruit, notable acidity and well structured. #winesky #wawine #sundaysips

For our recent French #Winophiles event, @culinarycam.bsky.social compares Picpouls from France & California. Interesting topic! I have Picpoul from France fairly regularly. The only one I can recall from California was a sparkling Halther Ranch Picpoul. #wine www.culinarycam.com/post/two-pic...

I mentioned a wine from Sonoma-Cutrer earlier...reminds me to share that I had a chance to interview their Senior Winemaker for our Cook Local #podcast last year. You can check it out wherever you get your podcasts (episode 37) or here on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJhb... #winesky #wine

Interesting! I wasn't familiar with the Mazuelo grape on a recent wine label. Now I see it is the same as Carignan...which I associate with France, but it has its origins in Spain. winemakermag.com/article/cari... #wine #SpanishWine #winesky
