Who can resist a reflection shot on the Mokelumne River!? 🍷 . . .From this Sub-AVA of California, the first release of the “Generosity” 2016 Grenache will be released in November of this year. A Rhône varietal Red wine with richness and elegance that I’ve been looking for in a Grenache since my old Cucamonga days in the 1980’s.. . . .Photo credit to my daughter KD as she has captured her father’s eye for a good picture!. . .#ancientcraft #best_photogram #beatifuldestinations #caligrammers #distinctionwines #ethereal_moods #experiencecalifornia #fpog #goneoutdoors #ig_wine #instawine #ig_estradas #ig_exquisite #keepexploring #lodiwine #naturegrail #nature_wizards #ourplanetdaily #pocket_reflection #reflectionlake #reflection_shots #reflection_shotz #reflection_perfection #sommjournal #terroir #unlimitedcalifornia #visitlodi #visitcalifornia #winemaker #winefever (at Mokelumne River) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoaBzwuB98Y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jx8y0vnjw20d

In ‘hand-crafting’ mode, the machinery is as “gentle as a human hand”. Here, Garnacha being adjusted to give 70%+ whole berries to allow the skins to ‘release’ their color and phenolic compounds when ‘they’ are ready rather than ‘mechanically macerating them’ (i.e.: pulverizing the berries to force the crushing of the skins). This approach causes the resultant wine to show a greater level of ‘finesse’ and softness on the palate. Having fun being a winemaker today! .🏄🏻. . . .#winemaker #distinctionwines #lovewine🍷 #bestwineries #allaboutwine🍷 #barrelsamples #colorsofwine #californialife #country_features #cabernetsauvignon #getoutandexplore #grenache #garnacha #devilinthedetails #distinctionmagazine #experiencecalifornia #fpog #heart_imprint #ig_wine #integritydriven #lodiwines #sipandswirl #terroirlife #unlimitedcalifornia #visitlodi #wine🍷 #winetasting🍷 #wineeducation #wineblending #winemaking101 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnomo-4BpJd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nvr61782ke9a

“Room with a view....” one of the advantages of having a “road office & studio” is that no matter where I am, this is what I’m fortunate enough to witness every day. Hang out with me, won’t you?🥂. . .good morning from Wine Country 🏄🏻. . .#lemonadeandlenses #sommjournal #distinctionwines #ethereal_moods #experiencesonomavalley #fpog #goneoutdoors #getrealwithme #haveawineday #hellaraw #ig_wine #instawine #ig_estradas #ig_exquisite #keepexploring #letsdrinkthis #nature_uc #naturalcalifornia #ourplanetdaily #pocket_world #raw_country #rawcalifornia #romancingthevine #sonomachat #sonomabest #tagtheartist #thecalifornia #unlimitedcalifornia #visitcalifornia #visitnapavalley .

Striking the balance between a properly balanced canopy and exposure of the fruit zone to the sun is the art and skill of a craftsman. Winemakers get fat too much credit without recognizing the absolute necessity of the vineyardist, who in this case is Cameron Mauritson of Dry Creek. Have a “Dry Creek Day!!🥂. . . .#barrelsamples #distinctionwines #lovewine🍷 #bestwineries #allaboutwine🍷 #colorsofwine #californialife #country_features #deliciouswine #distinctionmagazine #experiencecalifornia #experiencesonomavalley #fpog #getoutandexplore #heart_imprint #haveawineday #ig_wine #imaginecalifornia #neverlookback #oldzinfandel #plumgoodness #roséallday #robertparkerwineadvocate #sipandswirl #terroirlife #unlimitedcalifornia #visitcalifornia #wine🍷 #winemaker (at Dry Creek Valley)

While working the wine market in New York City, the contrasts of culture are remarkable. It reminds me a lot of growing up in the LA area with many more extremes. Each one of the Burroughs is unique and fascinating but my favorite (and the one I relate to most) is Brooklyn. From Dumbo & Brooklyn Heights to Williamsburg & Fort Greene, the variations, people, history & arts are displayed in every step just by walking between the areas I mentioned (and I have walked all of them). The food, conversations, cultures, music, and “vibe” is for the most part congenial & cooperative. Selling my wines here is going to be fun as these are people that I can relate to, communicate well with and will love to return to often. Thank you New York for being a place to come home to. Cheers!🥂. . . . .#distinctionwines #lovewine🍷 #roséallday #allaboutwine🍷 #nycity #brooklynstreetart #colorsofwine #cabernetsauvignon #distinctionmagazine #experiencenewyorkcitywithme #cityvibes #fpog #getoutandexplore #heart_imprint #ig_wine #keepexploring #lovewine🍷 #mastershot #newyorkwine #picturenewyork #streetlifeworldwide #street_vision #visitnewyork #winemaker #wineseller #newyorkfoodandwine #lovebrooklyn #citywinerynyc #robertparkerwineadvocate (at Brooklyn, New York)
