Many have considered Pinot Noir to be New Zealand’s next big thing. But I’m here to say that Chardonnay, so far, has it beat. I tasted 60 or so of the country’s finest bottlings and there are some spectacular examples.

This was a very impressive wine. On the lighter shade of Cerasuolo, and all flinty, salty, citrus, and berry. Definitely modern in its reductive styling but flipping delicious. I’ll buy this bottle if I ever see it again. Thanks to @jasminehirsch and @crusewine for sharing! Nicely done @amorotti1521

Tasted an incredibly impressive portfolio of Mexican wines by @besoimports and @winebow last week in Berkeley. I definitely have been remiss in not getting to Baja yet! Here are a few of the highlights from @monte_xanic @dominiodelasabejas @bodegasfrubio @solarfortun @duomavinos @vinosvseco and more. #mexicanwine #vinosdemexico #valledeguadalupe #vinography #tradetasting

I tried this bottle on release and it was excellent. Now? It’s f*cking phenomenal. This is not your average CA rosé. It’s reduced, saline, umami, herbal, floral, berry and citrus deliciousness with a verve that makes you want to dance around like a muppet. Bravo @hirschvineyards @jasminehirsch #pinkwine #roseallday #kissfromarose #vinography

Coming in hot for my debut in @decanter magazine. Part of their newish feature “Head to Head” where they get two commentators to voice opposing views on a given subject. This one? Food and Wine Pairing opposite the inimitable @fibeckett_winematcher. Fun piece that I think came out well, though I must insist my hairline is not really receding that far 🤣. Read the piece at link in bio.

I’ll get you my pretty, and your little wings, too.

Lost in the Cellar, Episode 197. Will a 12-year-old ramato-style Pinot Gris still have anything to offer after being discovered languishing in the cellar? Damn right it will. Still has fruit, acidity, great aromas, mellow tannic grip. Amazing @paxmahle !
