Post meal and flight wine. While I may say that PN isn’t my favorite grape, I’m definitely a fan of well made PN, especially from #willamettevalley Domestically, it’s the region I tend to prefer. I still love other wines from the U.S. And I really enjoy the quality of #texaswines from the past few years. #sommlife #lifewithmark (at High Street Wine Co.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMsr2ulr29U/?igshid=1u2c2eiage30n

After class I stayed for lunch. Chopped BBQ beef sandwich- brisket, white onion, jalapeño and pickle relish, house baked sesame bun. Paired with @lostdrawcellars Texas High Plains Tempranillo. First time having the their wines. Great pairing. Heard great thing about Lost Draw. Looking forward to trying more of their wines. Also my first time at Lambert’s. Digging the place. #wine #txwine #texaswine #sommlife #lifewithmark (at Lamberts Downtown Barbecue) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgxK11qJTtm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
How many of you can say you’ve have single malt whiskey from India. I can now. 25% peated malt imported from Scotland and 75% unpeated malt from India. #sommlife #lifewithmark (at Mickey Mantle's At Winstar World Casino) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf5UXPStSmN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
The view for the Ruinart Challenge. Waiting on the results. I hosed the wines as far as where they are from, but I’m hoping the rest of my stuff takes me over the top. #sommlife #lifewithmark #ruinartchallenge (at Monarch Dallas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf4exfPJk80/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
