So many good questions came in yesterday so I’ll continue to answer them tonight! Comment below with any questions for me and I’ll be answering later! Does not have to be wine related either, here to answer them all!

The most intimate part of a winery, the cellar, where wine rests silently for months or even years until it develops its best expression... What’s the most enchanting wine cellar you’ve ever visited? 🍷
This week on A Tale of Two......
(Cue dramatic music)
SHIRAZ!!!
While studying for the WSET 2 exam, we tried some really fun Australian wines, including these two Shiraz’s!
I preferred the Dead Arm Shiraz as it was more balanced, but found both very enjoyable with Steak. The salt in the steak cut the acidity in both wines, and it was remarkable!
What’s your take on shiraz? Any recs? Tell me below!

DOURO DOC - Reserva 2016
Vinho Tinto.
Portogallo.
——-
*Touriga National
*Touriga Franca
*Tinta Roriz
———————————-
Affinamento:botte grande di rovere francese e americano per 12 mesi.
Gli altri due vitigni li ho spiegati in due post precedenti,manca solo la Touriga Franca :anche questa una delle principali uve usate per la produzione del Porto: e’piu leggera e profumata della Touriga National,dona finezza al vino.

La Valle del fiume Douro è forse la più affascinante del Portogallo, dal punto di vista paesaggistico.
Io purtroppo non ci sono mai stata,ma solo a vedere i video e le foto ne sono rimasta affascinata.
La pendenza elevata delle anse che costeggiano il fiume,hanno costretto ad edificare dei terrazzamenti vitati delimitai da muri ( socalcos ).In epoche più recenti sono stati sostituiti da bastioni di terra a gradoni (platanares) ed e’ uno spettacolo meraviglioso guardarle in video,non oso immaginare dal vivo.
——-
Questo vino si presenta di un rosso rubino profondo.Al naso intensi profumi di frutta matura a bacca nera: mora,mirtillo,prugna.Note speziate:noce moscata,tabacco dolce,anice stellato.Ma una su tutte prevale:un gradevole sentore di ginepro.
Al palato e’ caldo,morbido,ben equilibrato,tannini fini.Fresco,richiama il frutto e le spezie ma quest’ultime in maniera minore rispetto all’olfatto. (E questo per me e’positivo senno’ lo avrei trovato troppo “piacione”).
Bella persistenza.
——
P.S: la Valle del Douro e’ stata una delle prime zone vitivinicole al mondo ad essere certificata di qualita’.( 1756).

In alto i calici winelovers....

The only ever so slightly bubblier side of Chardonnay. Vintage Selosse is a rare breed but it always leaves quite an impression, typically outperforming the lieux-dits although in that category the BdB’s also tend to stand out. Bright citrus and orchard fruits hovering between the fresh and dried types, wilting white flowers with enough ripeness and acidity to relegate the oak and oxidative notes to cameo appearances. Fairly cathedralic in its built although not as dramatically composed as the bigger-than-life 1998 that literally blows you away and in the process made the normally perfectly fine Krug 1998 next to it taste diluted and light.
Who ever said you need pinot for body in a Champagne? Chardonnay all the way 😊

Blue wine? #winenot
Tbh, it was sort of like Koolaid when you forget to put the sugar in and then somehow you end up intoxicated. #winefest#winetime#bluewine
The Hughes with the views. Nothing better than tasting wine in situ. A huge thank you to Jonny and Matt at Mewstone Wines for their hospitality earlier this week. We just added some new Hughes and Hughes wines to the store. Check them out! One of Tassie's most dynamic wine projects at the moment.

Wir produzieren unseren Bio-Sekt komplett von Hand. Das heißt die Flaschen werden per Hand gefüllt und anschließend findet die (mindestens) neun Monatige Flaschengährung statt. Um den dabei entstehenden Rohsekt ohne Trübung von der Hefe zu trennen.
Durch das "Rütteln" sinkt bzw. rutscht das Hefe lager zum Flaschenhals hinunter ohne dabei aufgewirbelt zu werden.
Wenn der mehrwöchige Prozess des täglichen Rüttelns vorüber ist wird der Hefepfropf beim Degorgieren "abgeschossen". Anschließend erhält der Rohsekt sein Dorsagelikör (zur Einstellung der Süße) und wird mit Rohsekt aufgefüllt, verkorkt und erhält seine Agraffe (das Drahtgestellt, welches den Korken fixiert). .

Auf den 📷 seht ihr den fertigen Sekt sowie eines unserer Rüttelpulte. .

Sabe pq é legal fazer um enoturismo? Pq cada vinícola e enólogo têm sua regra de produção, organização, escolha de processo e tipo de uva favorita. Isso tudo torna cada vinho com um caráter único... Quem fala que "Visitou uma vinícola, visitou todas"... sabe de nada, inocente!.
Curating the #winelist for @wearefoodwell has been a fantastic challenge - you get to try the most amazing wines like this organic beauty from @enotriacoe. Perfect floral aromas and citrus scents. Crisp lemon, grapefruit and pear on the palate with hints of blossom towards the finish. Hey and it looks good too.
Barbaresco DOCG "Montersino" 2014 - Albino Rocca🌼🍷
............................................................................
Le domaine🥦🏗️ :
L’histoire de la cave Albino Rocca est celle d’une famille qui respire l’air de Langa depuis quatre générations🌳: tout a commencé au milieu des années 40🍇, avec Giacomo Rocca🌿, qui après une première période de vente des raisins cultivés dans les vignobles de propriété✨, il a décidé de créer sa propre entreprise,☀️ commençant à vinifier et commercialiser son propre vin à Demijohns.🍇 Le fils de Giacomo🌳, Albino, a hérité du vignoble et a donné le véritable développement💮, au milieu des années 60🏗️, à la ferme qui porte son nom et qui est située dans la ville de Barbaresco🏺. Année après année, 🌍acquérant de nouvelles terres et plantant de nouvelles vignes🥦, Albino, doté d’un esprit dynamique axé sur l’expérimentation,🍷 parvint à accroître le prestige de la cave🥂, également grâce au soutien de son fils Angelo🐜, un personnage à qui nous devons,👌 à la fin des années 80, 🌱début de la vinification séparée de quelques crus importants de Barbaresco.🗺️ Aujourd’hui🎈, l’entreprise s’étale sur une superficie de 18 hectares de vignes et la maîtrise des opérations est confiée à la quatrième génération,🎆 toutes des femmes, avec Daniela,🏆 Paola et Monica qui poursuivent le voyage en suivant les traces d’Angelo🎍, Albino et Giacomo. Dans les vignobles, 🎗️les raisins typiques de ces régions sont cultivés, à l'exception du chardonnay, et toutes 🐾les opérations entre les rangs et dans la cave sont suivies par l'œil vigilant de l'oenologue Carlo Castellengo.🤔 Chaque année, environ 100 000 bouteilles sont produites🍷, divisées en 14 étiquettes.🌼 De Cortese à Dolcetto d'Alba🍇, du Moscato d'Asti à Barbera d'Alba,🎆 vous pourrez choisir parmi de nombreux produits. À une condition toutefois: il est impératif de🌳 se concentrer sur le vaste choix de Barbaresco présenté,☀️
"At MASH Copenhagen, wine list may exceed 3,000 bins, while London features circa 900. A particular focus is lavished on the dedicated cellar, part of which is visible beyond a glass partition, of North American wines. Wines may include the full frontal, boldly labelled wares of Charles Smith, the Washington State producer who formerly managed Danish rock bands. Also neatly racked are tantalising flights of Amuse Bouche, Au Bon Climat, Diamond Creek, Dunn Vineyards, Hanzell, Harlan, Opus One, Williams Selyem, Ridge, as well as Domaine de la Romanée Conti, although there are plentiful pleasures sub £40, too.” The Drinks Business
Deep red in colour, strong nose of earth, leather and tobacco, all mixed with powerful black fruits; tannins soften by age but still keeping the grip. Looong finish. Rare.
For all my friends out-there who were wondering what’s up with the wine-geek language (and probably haven’t been with me for dinner in a long time), allow me to make a little disclaimer - I study wine.
I’ve been passionate about wine for many years, but more recently I also started to study it properly, looking to pass my first international sommelier certification exams in a couple of months.
So please bear with me from now on, as I’ll start sharing on this platform and practicing the introduction of wines by-the-book: look, smell, taste, think (elaborating a conclusion). I’ll post here only what’s worth it and I have actually drunk. My mission is to put the pure joy back in the wine enjoyment and only promote the genuinely good. Maybe inspire you at some point, with some great pairing or a suggestion for a fine conversational wine. Yes, I will make this a thing :) #enjoy#unfuckwine#somethingsareworthit#forthediscerningpalate#winemorewhineless🍷

Saint-Émilion, the legendary village build on a limestone that became the backbone rock of some of the most prestigious wines ever.
Fun fact - did you know that the French macarons were created here because they had extra quantities of egg whites since they used the yolks to clean/ filter the wine? The macarons started to be manufactured here as early as 1620 by a religious community, the Ursulines. The recipe was passed down through local families, and generation after generation is still a secret held.

ИЛИ
ДА ОНИ ЖЕ ТОЛЬКО И ДЕЛАЮТ ЧТО ПЬЮТ.
✨
Не так ли говорят об итальянцах из-за их "пристрастию" к алкоголю? Точнее к вину. ✨
У нас и ассоциация с Италией какая? 🍕 Пицца 🍝 Паста 🍷 Вино
И там у всех уже свой список. У кого-то это горячие мужчины, у кого - море, модная одежда, язык, Венеция,оливки... ✨
Мы все привыкли думать, что итальянцы пьют вино литрами. Держа бокал в своей загорелой руке и болтая о всем на свете. ✨
Какое жалкое у нас понятие... ✨
1. Они не пьют, в значении котором понимаем мы. Это может быть всего бокал за вечер.
2. Вино всегда качественное и вкусное.
3. Они на самом деле его обожают.
И правильно делают! 😍
Почему же полезно пить вино?
🍷Придаёт коже сияния. 🍷Делает зубы крепче. 🍷Помогает расслабиться. 🍷Улучшает пищеварение. 🍷Помогает похудеть. ✨
Так что пейте вино, товарищи. Красное или белое? 😏
