  2. The Loire Valley’s Quiet Art of Wine and Château Living

    The Loire Valley reveals itself slowly. Beyond a bend in the river, a château rises above clipped gardens and pale stone terraces; farther along, vineyard rows follow the contours of the hills, their leaves shifting in the breeze be…

  4. The only grape so far that I haven't liked any bottles I tasted it's #CheninBlanc but I refuse to believe I can't find a grape I won't enjoy. Still looking into it. #wine #winetasting #winelover #winegeek

  5. ‘Don’t drink and walk on the road, you may be killed’ - is a bit of an odd warning on a wine label… go to town on driving, operating heavy machinery and swimming with deadly sharks, I guess.

  6. More skin-contact white wines made in China, this time by Canaan winery just outside of Beijing.

    - The Riesling has 1 month of skin contact in amphora, then 6 months of aging in old oak.

    - The white blend, with Muscat, Chenin Blanc, Ehrenfelser, Müller-Thurgau and more, has 6 weeks of skin contact in stainless steel.

    Both wines are fresh and floral, with that Riesling having ample lemon-y character, while the white blend's aromas dance all over the place: chrysanthemum, passion fruit, jasmine, citrus peel and more.

    Anyway, I brought back one bottle of each to include in my next tasting in Beijing. Looking forward to sharing them!

  7. Wine Grape Vineyards in South Africa by Variety, 2013-2020. Overall, the South African vineyard area shrank by 7.7% - with larger drop for reds than for whites. Of main varieties, only Sauvignon Blanc (5.5%), Muscat +8.9%), and Pinot Noir (+7.1%) grew. Sharp drop for others. #southafrica #vineyards #PinotNoir #SauvignonBlanc #CheninBlanc #wine #grapevarieties #Pinotage #Syrah #Shiraz #Chardonnay

  8. Not the best Monday ever, but ending the day with a very nice glass of wine and an amazing dinner with the wife, so all is well. #Monday #Wine #CheninBlanc #Dinner
