Just hanging out poolside with #MuncipalWinemakers' Bright Red and Grenache Blanc wines. Both are excellent showcases for what can be done with the Grenache varietal. #california #wine #santabarbara #red #white #grenache (at West Hollyhood)

For the longest I have been guzzling Trapiche's Malbecs and Pinot Noirs. With this said, my curiosity levels for this white varietal is heightened. I will keep you posted. #trapiche #torrontes #wine #argentina

Just had a couple of good sips the Stack Wine Pinot Grigio. And I'm going to go out on a limb to say these stackable little units will be fixtures during summertime picnics this year. #stackable #wine #pinot #grigio #summer #picnic #stackwine

One of my pleasant surprises from this past week is discovering that Williamsburg Winery in Virginia has a fruitfully balanced Rosé. Very drinkable during this Atlantic coast summer that just kicked off. #wine #rosé #summersolstice #williamsburg #virginia

A sip of rosé

We’re traveling through the Virginian country and had the pleasure of sampling the wines from Williamsburg Winery.  Needless to say, their 2013 Dry Rose has become the prerequisite drink of choice for the summer.
