Inauguration Day calls for @charlesheidsieckchampa Inauguration Day calls for @charlesheidsieckchampagne 

Cheers to new beginnings. 🍾🇺🇸🥂🍾🇺🇸🥂

Charlie’s style of Champagne is elegant and indulgent.  The wines are complex and balanced, and there is great care given to every detail of the Champagne making process from the vineyards to the cellar.  Many of the wines are put away and patiently held for their reserve wines.  Their Brut reserve wine has a large portion of reserve wines (up to 40%) with an average of 10 years of aging, making the wines of Charles Heidsieck exception and of the highest quality.

Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery has been producing estate-grown wines for over 60 years.  The winery was started by Dr. Konstantin Frank, a Ukrainian immigrant in 1962.  He was the first person to successfully plant European grape varieties(Vitis Vinifera) in the Eastern part of the United States.  The wine a rare and unique blend of 75% Pinot Meunier and 25% Pinot Noir from their estate vineyards on Keuka Lake.  The Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery Blanc de Noir 2016 (Finger Lakes, Keuka Lake) shows characters of fresh pastry dough, Bartlet pear, lemon curd, and minerality. The crisp acidity and subtle mineral undertones give the wine great structure and elegance. Leading with a fine mousse, the mouthfeel is creamy and profound with a long crisp apple finish.  Cheering and wishing you all a Happy New Year!!🎊🍾🌟🥂🎊

No deep thoughts here, just a glass of wine and deep self reflection, gratitude and warmth. 

Thank you to all my friends and Instafamily for all your love and support. Together we will make 2021 worthwhile. Cheers to a sparkly and wine filled 2021. 

A little insight into what I’ll be doing today.  I don’t believe in resolutions, as I like to focus on the positives.  Every year,  I write down what I would like to accomplish in the New Year. In 2019 I wrote down 19 things, in 2020 I wrote down 20 things I wanted to accomplish. This year I will write 21 things I want for 2021.  Remember to dream big and follow your heart. 🥂🍾🌟🥂🍾🌟

This holiday week has been a week of incredible wi This holiday week has been a week of incredible wines and new discoveries. I loved the 2014 Ondulé Esme from Coombsville in Napa Valley. @ondulewines 

Elegant, rich flavors of black currant, blackberry and dark chocolate mingle with intoxicating sweet tobacco aromas on the nose. 

Lush palate that opens with dark plum, cassis coffee and an earthy finish. An interesting component of Alicante Bouschet in the mix, which adds a slight smokiness.  A luxurious wine that is sure to please all fans of Napa Valley. 🍷🍷🍷

The Dutcher Crossing Taylor Reserve Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 is aged  in 100% French oak, this Cabernet Sauvignon is blended with 20% Syrah, which enhances the brightness, brings out rich berry flavors and showcases a rich elegant body with complex characters.  This wine is stunning and balanced with a satisfying and pleasurable mouthfeel.  There is great aging potential for this wine.  One of my favorites for gift giving, not just for the holidays but throughout the year. 🍷🍷🎁🎁
