My first New Mexico sparkling wine, this Gruet Blanc de Noirs. Although called a Blanc de Noirs, it’s actually a blend of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay. Aged sur lattes on the bottle for 18 months. Fresh wine, elegant bitter, well-integrated dosage, nice acidity. #sparklingfriday #winelover

Today, I had the immense pleasure of helping in the vineyard of Colonjes , in Groesbeek, Netherlands. Adam, the winemaker, explained in detail the art of winter pruning and the theory behind it. Thanks Adam and team! Awesome experience, awesome day! #winetasting #winemaking #winelover

After tasting thousands of wines and trying various wine tasting notebooks, I decided to design my own. And that wine tasting journal is now for sale ☺️ Check out my website at becauseilovewine.com #winetasting #wine
