🔥 What’s hot in the world of wine❓ 🔗 Link in bio https://lnkd.in/d-vZWzsb 🍷 What are orange wines and why are they hot right now? 🍊 Let’s clear this up first: orange wine is not made from oranges, it refers only to the wine’s colour. It’s also known as amber wine or skin-fermented white wine. 🥂 Although orange wine seems new and trendy, it’s actually an ancient style of wine that’s been used for thousands of years to make white wines, often fermented without temperature control for long periods in qvevri (clay vessels or amphorae), in regions such as Georgia and Armenia. 🌿 How did natural wines become trendy? 🌟 They start out like making white wine, but then they leave the grape skins on during fermentation just as red wines do and white wines do not. 🎨 The grape skins contain these magical aromatic precursors that eventually get released into the wine to create its distinctive aromas, flavours and colour. 🍇 Much like orange wines, natural wines are a move toward less manipulation in the winemaking process. This trend goes hand in glove with movements toward organic produce and buying local from small-scale farmers. 🥃 Wine aged in whisky barrels are having a moment right now. Instead of using tradition oak barrels from France, Hungary, Spain, etc, some winemakers are innovating and using barrels that were previously used to make whisky in Canada or bourbon in the US. 🍷 Have you tried an orange wine❓ Cheers, 🥂 Natalie 🍷 PS Get my free "Ultimate Guide to Wine & Food Pairing" at: https://lnkd.in/gwDc7jVb 🔗 Link is also in the bio ✉️ Or just DM me and ask for the guide!

🍷 Would you like my top 90 wine choices? 🍷 I do love my wines. And they are not all expensive either. To me, a great wine is a wine that YOU LOVE. 🫵 It’s not about price at all. Some of my absolute favorite picks are $15 a bottle as a great dinner table wine. I want to share with you my list of wines that I have gathered over the last decade plus. These are my absolute favorites out of who knows how many. 😂 😇 Not in any order either. So here we go! Vina San Pedro 1865 Selected Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Notes and a bit more about this wine! Intense, deep ruby red with purplish tones. This wine demonstrates a strong bouquet, marked by elegant and intense aromas of ripe red fruit like cherries, plums and blueberries, in addition to cassis blended with notes of chocolate, mocha and cedar. Very dense and concentrated, with mature and noticeable tannins. In addition, the wine displays a very good balance between the tannins, acidity and oak. Great wine and it’s priced at around $16.99 depending on where you get it. I highly recommend this wine. I hope you found this helpful in choosing a great wine! DRINK, BE MERRY & GO BE AWESOME!!

Over the chag we tasted this absolute treat from Shirah Wine: the Power to the People, Santa Barbara County, 2014. An always generous friend with a great cellar brought this wine to share. I've heard lots of confident talk about Shirah's inability to create age-worthy wines. While there is good consensus that Shirah wines are well-regarded and consistently good to great upon release, I hear lots of chatter that there is no point to cellar these wines. I will (again) vehemently disagree. This is not to say that each wine Shirah releases will improve. In fact, some are done a great disservice by aging - e.g. the CounterPunch, with its incredible juicy fruit. It's been some time since I've tasted the 2014 PTTP (Pesach 2022 to be exact) but, man, was this worth the wait. This wine has continued to improve and evolve. The 2014 is 98% Syrah (50% Thompson Vineyard, 48% McGinley Vineyard), cofermented with 2% Viognier. The label is very distinctly Shirah- black velvet with silver underlayment text- a conversation piece on its own. (And notoriously difficult to photograph.) In the glass, deep, dark purple, almost quite dark to the rim and no bricking, with pronounced still-youthful aromas of primary black fruit. Closer inspection yielded incredible aromas of tart red cherry, game, soy, mushroom, red cherry, and a floral character. What a heady nose! Waves of dar fruit and acid up front with mid palate depth and rich red and black fruits with plenty of umami and spice. There was still good concentration and far more depth and interest than I'm accustomed to with Syrah. Black peppercorn, soy, wild strawberry. The finish was lingering and elegant. An incredible showing. With one bottle remaining I'll plan to revisit in about 2 years. I think this wine is likely at its peak but its stark improvement in the last 2.5 years leads me to believe otherwise. There is some thought Syrah shows its true greatness at 10 years and here is some corroborating evidence. Drink now until 2026 or longer? https://lnkd.in/eBMizieE
