Jesus... this is the second fried chicken and bubbly meal I’ve had during quarantine and it sets a high bar. The kind gents at noble_riot supplied delicious gluten-free fried chicken with a bangin’ bottle of… instagram.com/p/CAwRydLp0v4/…

Rainy day in the mountains that made for a good day to chill. Been studying for my @FrenchWineSoc Spain test and purchased a few wines that I was less familiar with, including this delicious white wine from… instagram.com/p/CAmNyYSn2sT/…

A very good wine from @Adelsheim via @Winestyr. 2015 is one of my least favorite vintages in Oregon’s recent history but this bottle was spot on. The nose and palate were certainly more on the rich side. But the… instagram.com/p/CAJr-l0ncro/…

The dog has melted into the patio (it wasn’t hot today though...) but I did drink this bottle of Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley over the last few nights. My friend fraulein_frances’ brother runs @CuredBoulder… instagram.com/p/B__UjpBJQ5h/…

Garden boxes are blooming and this riesling is a solid bet for $15. I can’t speak more highly of the wineries in the fingerlakeswinealliance. This @EmpireEstateFLX 2017 dry riesling did the trick on a few hot days… instagram.com/p/B_1NY90pEmX/…

Bordeaux is still the great revealer. These two sub-$20 bottles have provided endless fascination over the last three days. I’ve said this before but I’m often exhausted by all the new fangled natural approaches to… instagram.com/p/B_eAq7lnegl/…

This red made with Listan Prieto vines from bichiwines is produced in the rugged landscape of northern Mexico (!!) and has me in a love/hate relationship only an hour after taking my first sip. I imagine this type of… instagram.com/p/B_OX5n3pLmm/…

Some of the bottles of Nerello Mascalese from Sicily I’ve had lately have a distinct concentrated cherry/cough syrup note to them. While they weren’t bad bottles, I wasn’t pumped about their flavor profile. This… instagram.com/p/B_JJyilpJNm/…

Day 2 of drinking this tasty little bottle from Chateau de Bagnoles in Cabardes AOC. Not a well known region but a blend of Merlot, Syrah, and Grenache Noir. Lively with an earthy component and dark berry pop on the… instagram.com/p/B-_IKtzJ3Ju/…

Loved this $20 bottle of Chorey-Lés-Beaune in Burgundy from domainearnouxpereetfils. It had a distinct woody/oak component, which made it taste a lot richer than I paid, but also healthy red fruits and very good… instagram.com/p/B-3hvo_pmOr/…

Riesling is an enigma. This 2016 bottle from kuntzsybille is dreamy, everything I want in a sub-$20 dry bottle from Germany. Explosive tropical, citrus, and mineral notes that are mirrored on the palate. Everyone… instagram.com/p/B-tHQ6qJp0-/…

Sometimes wine just doesn’t cut it. Feeling very blessed to be three blocks from @calltoarmsbrew on Tennyson Street. They are still selling crowlers of beer and doing a great job of handling takeout and canning… instagram.com/p/B-iinSnpuA4/…

I could very easily drink this incredible bottle of Pineau d’Aunis every day. This is produced by Patrice Colin in the Coteaux du Vendômois, a small and little-known AOC in the Loire Valley. The grapes are sourced… instagram.com/p/B-bGdT6JvVZ/…
