Happy National Drink Wine Day! Guess what I am doing?!? Tonight it’s going to be San Marzano Wines​ 62 Anniversario Riserva 2015 Primitivo Di Manduria from Puglia, Italy. This prominent producer highlights the region’s traditional varieties like this Primitivo I am drinking. * This wine also scored 91 points from the 2019 Ultimate Wine Challenge held by Ultimate Beverage Challenge​🍷 Judges describe it as “vanilla-kissed potpourri” with “bold black fruits” and “dried figs” on this full-bodied wine with a consistent finish. Very yummy! * I hope everyone had a delicious wine-sipping day!

My Friends Tom's Wine Tasting Group in Westchester, NY

Montalcino wine tasting at St. George Bistro was so much fun! My friend , Tom, couldn’t make it to the NYC tasting so he recreated his own. Wow!! They were all so great and we had such a good time trying them blind. I was pretty proud of myself for getting a few of them right! I couldn’t choose a favorite bottle so I gave them a big group hug

Barolo & Barbaresco World Opening 2020 in New York City

My love for Barolo goes so deep. Over a decade ago, when I first started learning about wine, I went to the region of Barolo located in Piedmont, Italy by myself for ten days. I tasted wine all day, went truffle hunting, and went to the original Eataly​💗🍷 * Now they came to NYC!! The first ever Barolo & Barbaresco World Opening was held here as part of their campaign to promote these wines around the world. The Grand Tasting had over 200 producers pouring wines made from 100% Nebbiolo. The point was to experience one grape and how its vineyard location affected its taste. Wines from Barolo and Barbaresco can age up to 40 years and are some of the most sought after in the world. I couldn’t wait for this day!! Barolo has such a special place in my heart and everyone knows that if it were my last day on Earth, I would want a big glass of Barolo. This was amazing and I was very lucky to be here! 💕🍷💕 * All food catered by Eataly NYC Flatiron💥

Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino 2020 at Gotham Hall in NYC

Really enjoyed the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino tasting held at Gotham Hall🍷🎉These wines come from the Montalcino region of Tuscany, Italy. Just like the well-known Chianti wines everyone loves, Brunello di Montalcino is made from the same grape called, “sangiovese”.

The wines poured yesterday were delicious! Most bottles were from the stellar 2015 vintage and showed flavors of bright red cherry, baking spices and grippy tannins. This is my second time trying this particular year and it really didn’t disappoint. They definitely need more time in the bottle to age and I am sure it will be a dream once they’re ready. It was a great time!
