Celebrated both of my aunts’ birthdays by enjoying wine, supper clubs, and #fallcolors in @doorcounty. It was my first time back in 21 years and more magnificent than I remembered. •

Also, swing states are REALLY POLITICAL during an election year. Residential homes, businesses, shared parkways...it’s #stumpcity and signs galore 🙄•

To some people, The spookiest thing in this photo

To some people, The spookiest thing in this photo is the #germanriesling. Today’s #riesling isn’t the sweet, mass produced stuff of yesteryear, but lean, mineral rich, multi-generational goodness that can be both traditional and groundbreaking. When’s the last time you had a dry Riesling? #rieslinglover #germanwine #winesofgermany #trocken #auslese #spätlese #vdp #prädikatswein #kabinett #jackolantern #jackolanterns #spookyseason #spookyszn

I know it’s been heavy on #catcontent over here, but I did just put out a new blog post about my first experience with #roguevalley wines from @roguevalleywinecountry in Oregon. This Southeastern Oregon area was hit hard by wildfires, and small producers like @awenwinecraft could use our support. •

I had the opportunity to visit #NorthernMichigan in both the winter and the summer last year, and I can definitively say that it is the best #fourseasons destination in the Midwest. You can use the @ikonpass to ski, can walk in the footsteps of #ernesthemingway, drink #tipofthemitt wine, and hike among the fall colors. If you are looking for a #roadtrip this year, check out my latest post on how to spend a weekend in Northern Michigan. #petoskey #walloonlake #charlevoix #harborsprings #bayharbor

I picked up this #californiachardonnay at one of the last in-person wine tastings I went to at @thewinecellargroup 😩. I poured myself a glass as I found out my @finevintagewine class was cancelled for a third time and is not available online. I am wondering at this point if I should just eat the cost of the registration and switch to a different platform that offers American Wine Scholar certification online. It's been frustrating that the place I've done all previous learning hasn't found a way to make these courses available online or from home. Have you done any online wine learning or certifications in 2020? Do you recommend it or not so much? #onlinelearning #sommcon Here's what: I adore this wine. It's a 2017 Chardonnay from the Santa Maria Valley and is through and through pure California. It's a deep straw/lemon color, right out of the bottle, and let me tell you about the nose. My #aromakit from @lenezduvin_officiel study has been helping me because I got a hit with banana, hawthorne (who knew?), lychee, orange blossom, baked apple, and of course that creme brulee vanilla that is synonymous with Californian Chardonnay. Well balanced with medium to full body and a medium finish, this wine is normally $35.99 but is 15% off with the purchase of 6 bottles or 35% off with the purchase of 12 (you can mix and match!)
