Excited to be able to share why I'm celebrating 🍾 🥂
my company sold 👏👏👏
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've decided to use this opportunity to close the books on corporate life. It's hard to believe it's been 35 years of being in or around corporate America; definitely time for a new chapter
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It will be official July 31st and I'm most excited about making my own schedule. The only thing I know for sure about this next chapter is it will entail more travel adventures ✈️

New York City is filled with fantastic little wine bars. Ruffian in the lower east side, is featuring women winemakers on their by the glass list with a wide selection of little known wines (scroll for list & others we tried)

I enjoyed this Orange wine from Georgia, Tsolikouri grape from winemaker Baia Abuladz (my first time trying this grape)

Do you enjoy a creative wine list or tried & true, know what you're getting?

This is a nice skin contact style with no bitterness. Wonderful aromas of honey and citrus. A refreshing and crisp wine, nice acidity and finishes with minerality

Who wants to get lost on a wine country road?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your looking for inspiration, I've shared some of our wine travels on The Road to Wine website (link in bio)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Surprisingly there's quite a few beginning with the letter ”P”; Priorat, Piedmont, Portugal, Puglia - all unique and outstanding in their own way. Wine travel gets you off the beaten path, provides the opportunity to absorb the culture, and connects you with fantastic people ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cheers to the weekend and your next wine travel adventure 🍷

Back home and craving Pinot, I reached for a long time favorite ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This Kosta Browne 2013 was their first estate blend from two vineyards in Russian River and the Sonoma Coast. Although under new ownership their winemaker, Nico Cueva, has been with them since 2009 and making outstanding wines
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On the nose; Blackberry, blueberries, and fig. Which follow through into the taste along with boysenberry jam. This is an opulent wine, with nicely balanced acidity and the long finish has a bit of minerality
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you know Kosta Browne? If you want to know more, check out my article on the Vintner Project (link in bio)

Come with me to peak inside Caiarossa, located just north of Bolgheri in the hillsides overlooking the Tuscan coast

Since it's inception in 1998 this winery has been biodynamic. The vineyards total over 75 acres, on three different elevations and are comprised of 10 different soil types. Grape varieties were planted based on what soil best suited; Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre for the reds; Chardonnay, Viognier and Petit Manseng for the whites (only 2% of production)

The cellar was designed using Feng Shui practices and utilizes the natural slope of the land for gravitational processing. They only use natural materials in the winemaking process; concrete, wood, amphora (stainless tanks only for overflow) with limited use of new oak

They have two major labels for the reds; Pergolaia and Caiarossa. Caiarossa being a fascinating blend of eight grape varietals and Pergolaia is a Sangiovese-driven blend.
The owner also owns Bordeaux’s Château Giscours and Château du Tertre and landed French winemaker Julian Reneaud who spent some time at Opus One. They sell direct to the US through Total Wine, so they should be easy to find

A new set of Tuscany memories is in the books. Going to miss these beautiful scenes
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So much more to share from wines, to wineries, to travel discoveries. Hope you’ll continue to join me as I reflect back on this incredible road to wine

Do you have any travels in the making?

Tenuta dell’Ornellaia another winery legendary to Bolgheri

Ornellaia was started in 1981 by Lodovico Antinori and earned Wine Spectator’s Wine of the Year in 2001 for the 1998 vintage. He later sold to the Mondavi family who in turn sold the Frescobaldi family. The entire estate is 370 acres with 285 of those planted in vineyards. The grapes from each vineyard site are vinified and aged separately before selecting the blends

An interesting fact about the winery is 80% of the people that work here are women along one of the wine makermakers, Olga Fusari, who oversees the production

One thing that stands out during a visit is all of the artist series showcased throughout the winery. One series displays the different artist labels for each vintage which depicts that vintages characteristics, ceramic fountains depicting the four seasons, in the fermentation room a series of paneled mirrors in celebration of 25 years, outside a hedge saying, ”happiest ever after”, and highlighted in the library room is a picture of the tree which grows in the middle of the winery, upside down to indicate infinity (see all in Stories)
