Four years ago today this sign outside a wine bar Four years ago today this sign outside a wine bar in La Morra, Italy caught my eye…thankfully, it was in English!! My husband and I were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary while enjoying the incredible wines, amazing cuisine and the breathtaking landscape of the Langhe region. Wish we were there now! Happy 14th wedding anniversary to my wonderful husband and thank you for putting up with all my ‘wine-ing’ over the years!! 🤣🍷😘 . . . . #wine #winelover #vino #winetasting #winelovers #winetime #instawine #winestagram #redwine #winery #vin #wineoclock #vinho #love #winelife #whitewine #wein #italy #wines #wineblogger #winetraveler #langhewine #winesayings #vigneview
Looking for a fantastic bottle of Oregon Pinot Noi Looking for a fantastic bottle of Oregon Pinot Noir for around £20? I highly recommend trying Erath Oregon 2018 Pinot Noir. This isn’t your typical earthy, unfiltered Oregon Pinot Noir filled with endless complexities. Rather, this Pinot Noir is easy-drinking, fruit-forward with bright, fresh vibes. This has always been my “go-to” Oregon Pinot Noir when considering the highest quality I can find at the best possible price. Dynamic aromas of freshly picked red summer berries along with subtle clove and toasted oak notes draw you in. Flavours of juicy strawberries, ripe cherries, luscious raspberries and vibrant red currants awaken your palate with refreshing acidity on a lingering finish. I guarantee you’ll be reaching for the bottle to pour another glass! Buy this amazing Oregon Pinot Noir @majesticwine So, how is it possible that the Erath Winery has managed to create such an incredible wine at such a fantastic price point in the UK? All the answers and more are on my website! Hint: High quality grapes combined with clever winemaking and modern technology are key to the success of this beautiful bottle of Oregon Pinot Noir!! Cheers xx 🍷 . . . . . #vigneview #willamettevalleywine #oregonpinotnoir #oregonwine #oregonwinecountry #pinotnoir #oregongirl #nativeoregonian #oregonlove #winelover #winebloggers #winetraveler #erathwinery #oregonwineuk #vino #vin #wine #redwine #wineblogger #winetasting
If you’re after a lovely wine and cheese pairing If you’re after a lovely wine and cheese pairing to celebrate Wine and Cheese Day, try my Bûchette-de-Provence Hors d’oeuvres paired with a Provençal rosé wine. Bûchette de Provence is an unpasteurised goat milk cheese from the Provence-Alpes Côte d’Azur region. Formed into a small log, decorated with a sprig of rosemary and placed on a thin piece of wood, this Provençal delight is made from the native Rove goat’s rich, creamy milk. Earthy aromas, characteristic of goat cheese, are fresh and delightful. While a subtle essence of lemon adds a bit more complexity to the mix. Perfect on its own or dressed up and ready for a night out on the town; this cheese is versatile, yet exquisite! I purchased my Bûchette de Provence from my local cheesemonger, @middlelanemarket, who specialises in a variety of British and Continental cheeses, wines, fresh produce and other goodies just waiting to tantalise your tastebuds! A Provençal rosé pairs perfectly with this cheese and its toppings. These flavours are so reflective of the Provence region, that you simply can’t go wrong! One of my key tips to remember is that regional pairings are often the most successful. Check out the recipe on my website and wine suggestion. Happy Wine and Cheese Day!! Cheers!! xx . . . . #vigneview #pinkwine #roséwine #winelover #winebloggers #winetraveler #wineandcheese #foodandwine #wine #winetasting #winelover #cheese #cheeseboard #charcuterieboard #charcuterie #winetime #winelovers #vino #wineoclock #winestagram #cheeseandwine #nationalwineandcheeseday #wineandcheeseday
As a native Oregonian, it's wonderful to see Aldi As a native Oregonian, it's wonderful to see Aldi selling this Left Coast Cellars 2019 Estate White Pinot Noir from Oregon’s Willamette Valley. While it may seem like a bit of a pricey wine at £12.99 per bottle; however, this is such a great way to start exploring Oregon wines. Not many are sold in the UK and I’ve never seen one at this price point…they’re usually £20 on upwards. Additionally, this wine is from one of the newest AVA’s in Oregon, the Van Duzer Corridor, which was officially approved in December 2018.   This beautiful part of the Willamette Valley enjoys moderate to warm sunny days during the summer months along with daily afternoon Pacific Ocean breezes that blow through the Van Duzer Corridor, which is a gap in the Coastal Mountain range.  These coastal  breezes help ease disease pressure on the grapes while also gently cooling them.  A wide range in daily temperatures enables the grapes to develop more elegance along with additional aromatic and flavour complexities.   This wine is a blend of Pinot Noir (91%), Pinot Meunier (6%) and Pinot Blanc (3%).  Pinot Noir offers structure and elegance, while Pinot Meunier provides floral aromatics and fruity notes and Pinot Blanc adds body, creating a more rounded mouthfeel.  The grapes are cold pressed at extremely low temperatures in order to extract as little colour as possible. The juice is then aged for six months in stainless steel tanks.  You'll enjoy lovely aromas of honeysuckle, ripe pears, juicy yellow plums and subtle nutty cashew notes.  On the palate, further notes of pineapple along with moderate acidity and a rounded mouthfeel follow on a lengthy finish.  Enjoy this on its own or with food.  I enjoyed it poolside and then with mushroom arancini balls...delicious!   . . . . #vigneview #willamettevalleywine #oregonpinotnoir #oregonwine #oregonwinecountry #whitepinotnoir #oregongirl #nativeoregonian #oregonlove #winelover #winebloggers #winetraveler #wine #vino #vin #aldiwine #pinotmeunier #pinotmeunier #vanduzerwines #leftcoastcellars #vanduzerava
Well, it’s a beautiful Friday warm summer’s ev Well, it’s a beautiful Friday warm summer’s evening in London and I’ve just opened a bottle of Whispering Angel Cotes de Provence Rosé 2020 @thewhisperingangel from the Caves D’Esclans in the Department of the Var in Provence. This is such an elegant wine made from a blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Rolle (Vermentino) grapes. The Grenache adds structure, flavour and alcohol to the blend. While the Cinsault adds strawberry aromas and the Rolle (Vermentino) offers up vibrant zesty, citrus notes. A harmonious blend creating a truly luxurious rosé wine. Aromas of ripe strawberries, cantaloupe and subtle sweet spice lure me in. Flavours of strawberries and cream (the perfect Wimbledon pairing!!) continues to tempt my palate while notes of grapefruit add a vibrant acidity on a long, memorable finish. This wine so smooth and elegant that it is almost an ethereal experience drinking it! I guarantee that you will start dreaming of escaping to Provence and the Côte d’Azur! Enjoy this wine on its own or paired with your favourite soft, fresh Chèvre cheese and some Provençale delights. Grab a bottle @majesticwine! Cheers xx . . . . #vigneview #pinkwine #roséwine #thewhisperingangel #roséwine #wine #vin #vino #grenacherosé #cinsaultrosé #vermentino #provence
