Noblis Vinho Verde| This one is crisp and refreshing after a hot day on the beach. Slightly effervescent and bone dry, with a granny smith apple finish that paired perfectly with pan-seared wreckfish. https://www.instagram.com/p/CgSvdsNLeDA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Caymus vs Caymus | A wine that needs no introduction, we decided to try a side-by-side comparison of ’17 vs ’19. Out of the bottle, the 2017 greeted us with the smell of bright, overly ripe fruit. When tasting, we were surprised to find the ripeness dimished, leaving behind the classic Caymus flavor of dark stone fruit coupled with mocha, baking spices and excellent tannins. The 2019 was disappointing out of the bottle, with muted aroma and flavor. The initial sips were un-remarkable with a bit of alcohol noticeable. We gave the ’19 time to decant over the course of the evening and it opened nicely and began to drink very similar to the 2017. Final call: 2017 drink now or continue holding, 2019 hold for at least another year and then re-evaluate. #wine #winelover #vino #winetasting #winelovers #winetime #instawine #winestagram #food #redwine #winery #vin #wineoclock #sommelier #vinho #love #winelife #foodporn #instagood #drinks #wineporn #italy #foodie #wines https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc2ng6hrDNc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

2019 Post & Beam Cabernet Sauvignon | I told you this one was on the repeat list! The previous one I tried and loved was the 2018. This bottle is 2019 and I love it! As the label says “Post & Beam *Framework For Fine Wine*”. I agree and it remains on the repeat list…a cork favorite! #wine #winelover #winetasting #winetime #winecellar #redwine #redwinelover #redwine🍷 #redwines #wineporn #vino #vineyards #vineyard #winesofinstagram #instawine #postandbeamwine #farnietewinery #cabernetsauvignon https://www.instagram.com/p/CZNg21bLB1l/?utm_medium=tumblr
