TOP TIPS, TRUTHS & MYTHS Red Rioja is a wine style not a grape variety. Rioja is region based on its unique place AKA terroir. So the wines are often labeled by the region / appellation (D.O. /D.O.P) rather than the grape. Then in true Latin style they sometimes break the rules and label the bottles with grape name only ?!?!

🍷 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.

These are my absolute favorites out of who knows how many. 😂 😇 Not in any order either. So here we go! De Martino Legado Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva 2018 Notes and a bit more about this wine! Produced from certified organic estate-owned vineyards located in Maipo Valley, Legado Cabernet Sauvignon shows aromas of black berries and black currants abound on the nose of this full-bodied wine. They are backed by subtle hints of vanilla and mocha from 14 months of aging in French oak barrels. A smooth, approachable wine with firm tannins. Great wine and it’s priced at around $15.98 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!!

PINOT MEUNIER In the Champagne region, farmers produce seven grape varieties, but most wineries employ only three varieties for their wines: chardonnay, pinot noir, and pinot meunier. Pinot Meunier (aka schwarzriesling in German) is a fruity red grape variety used less often than chardonnay and pinot noir. Pinot Meunier wines smell of sour cherries, mushrooms, pomegranates, and occasionally potting soil. The wines are bone dry and medium-bodied with an average of 10 to 12 per cent ABV. Pinot Meunier is also made as a still red wine and marketed as Bouzy Rouge after the town where most Pinot Meunier is grown. They should be served at 12 – 15 C in red wine glasses. Pair with grilled vegetables, sauteed mushrooms, pork roasts, pizzas, pasta with meat sauce, and semi-hard cheeses.

Grenache: a hidden gem in the wine world 🍇 Despite being the seventh most planted grape variety globally, Grenache often remains under the radar with consumers. In Europe, the grape is frequently hidden in AOP regulations, and in Australia, it’s commonly blended into GSM wines, making it less visible on labels compared to more popular varieties like Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. 🌍 Grenache’s versatility and ability to thrive in hot climates has led to its global expansion. Originating from Spain, Garnacha Tinta is a staple in Rioja, while Grenache Noir dominates southern France. With wines crafted from Grenache Noir, Blanc, and even Gris, regions such as Australia, South Africa, and California are producing standout bottles, offering everything from accessible “quaffers” to age-worthy classics. 🏅 Winemakers now have a unique opportunity to spotlight their Grenache at the Global Grenache Masters competition. Judged by a panel of Masters of Wine and Master Sommeliers, the competition recognises the finest examples of this underappreciated grape. Entry submissions are open until Monday, 30 September 2024. #Grenache #GlobalGrenacheMasters #WineIndustry #WineCompetitions #Grapes #Winemaking

Its silly season and that means popping corks! Most Australian sparkling wine consists of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, with the most common style a blend of the two. Australian grape growers pick cool-climate Chardonnay fruit early to retain its high acidity levels before it’s too ripe and acidity levels decrease. Some winemakers also make single-variety (100%) sparkling Chardonnays, known as Blanc de Blancs (French for ‘white of whites’). Australian Blanc de Blancs tend to be elegant, savoury, floral and dry, with robust acid. Aged Blanc de Blancs – like all sparkling wines that have spent extended time on lees – can also develop toasty notes. Other winemakers do produce single-variety (100%) sparkling Pinot Noirs, known as Blanc de Noirs (French for ‘white of blacks’, or white wine made from red grapes).
