Viognier is a white grape variety that doesn’t get talked about *too* much, but let me tell you what, Viognier definitely stands out among the crowd. Could it be your new favorite flower-child varietal?

This week I’m going to introduce you—if you haven’t been already—to chilled reds. (Like red wines that you should be drinking proper cold, like borderline white wine temperature.)

I swear, grilling takes every piece of meat, produce, fruit, etc. to the next level. Tofu? Grill it. Cucumber? Grill it. Lemon? Grill it. This wilted kale that’s been in the bottom of the veggie drawer for too long? I don’t know, let’s try grilling it!

So now that you’re a Txakolina expert, I'm gonna take you to the next level. This is advanced stuff, so get ready. Put on your learning hats.

Alright, true story, my friends: Txakolina is my summertime wine dream come true. ☀️ You know when you’re in the mood for something refreshing because…

Back in 2008, before I knew anything about wine, I got a job at a winery tasting room. (I still don’t know why they hired me.) I was frantically studying and trying to become up to par with the formally-trained somms I would be working with.

Ready to branch out of the quaffable porch-pounders and fancy up your Pinot Grigio drinking?

Ok, so you are a die-hard Pinot Grigio fan. You love the fact that you can guzzle them in your pink flamingo pool floaty and not be required to think too hard. Pure summer satiation.

Ever wonder the difference between Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio? Here’s your answer: They are the same! Well, kind of.

Did you know…There are high chances that the oldest wine known to man could have been an orange wine?
