Weis Vineyards Pinot Blanc

On this beautiful summer day (please excuse the bathingsuit, too eager to taste the wine to bother to go back and get my cover up!) I was joined by my dear college friend, award-winning poet and author April Lindner as we taste Weis Vineyards Pinot Blanc. Weis only sells their Pinot Blanc at their winery or online to their wine club members. Their winery is located on Keuka Lake in the Finger Lakes Region of New York and they produce many German varietals. We love their wines and are members of their wine club. I highly recommend visiting this winery in the Finger Lakes and tasting their wines. They are excellent.

Hazy Mountain Vineyard Dry Petit Menseng

Tommy and I had the opportunity to do some wine tasting in Afton, Virginia near Shenandoah National Park and the beautiful Hazy Mountain Vineyard and Brewery. We thought they did a great job on their white wines bought several bottles while there. Since Beth (and her husband Jeff) were the people who introduced us to Virginia wines (and, very possibly, wine tasting at wineries in general), it was perfectly appropriate to share the Hazy Mountain Vineyard Dry Petit Menseng with her. A very unique and delicious wine, tasting it is an experience in itself. I highly recommend taking a trip to the beautiful area of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah Valley in Virginia and while there make sure to go for a tasting at Hazy Mountain Vineyards. I wish we had more time there so that we could have tasted their beers, too!!!

Principessa Gavia Gavi DOCG

My college friends visited for a weekend so I took the opportunity to do some tastings with them. Because we were super lucky and had beautiful warm weather, we drank whites all weekend, so the next four episodes will feature white wine.

In this episode, my college roommate and chosen family Beth and I are tasting Principessa Gavia Gavi DOCG. I love the story of this wine... In the 6th century, Principessa Gavia fell deeply in love with a soldier. Her father, Clodimir, King of the Franks, forbade their marriage, so the lovers eloped to a remote village in northwestern Italy. Charmed by the local white wine, the newlyweds revealed their identity and were brought before the king. He realized their happiness and forgave the couple. The King blessed their union and named after his daughter both the village and its wine. It is said that their romance lives on in each glass of Principessa Gavia Gavi.

The wine itself is lovely. It's great with or without food and perfect for enjoying on a warm summer day. I hope you will give it a try and let me know what you think!

Tuscan Seaport Wine Tasting

Tommy and I were able to get tickets for the Tuscan Seaport Wine Tasting in July and we had a lovely time. We tasted some interesting wines that we had never had before and made some new friends that we hope to see at future wine tasting events. It’s a very relaxed event with some delicious bites and several different wines to try. If you are looking for an opportunity to meet some new people, enjoy time with your current peeps and experience some wines, the wine tastings at Tuscan Seaport are a great opportunity.
