It was a very chaotic day for travel today between a go around, a maintenance delay, and a medical emergency!! All @AmericanAir staff stayed positive, calm, and professional… and now we celebrate graduations! 💙💙
Thank you to @AmericanAir for all you did to get my staff member & her student to a scholarship interview on Thursday. Though there were delays, the ExP desk did everything they could to help me… and they made it in time for a great weekend!!! 💙💙💙
A tale of 2 dinners over 3 days. 2015 & 2016 #Sesti Brunello di Montalcino… paired with a #Baricci Rosso 2023 & a @CastiglionBosco #Millecento 2019. It all does exactly what we need it to do. Mise en place. 💙💙
We did 2 side-by-side showdowns on #BrunellodiMontalcino this week - 2014 & 2020.
The 2014 #Ridolfi Donna Rebecca paired beautifully with grilled meat. The CDB was less complex and offers itself up as a nice, summer Brunello.
The 2020s are completely different.
The #Gorelli was beautifully complex with multiple spice notes. I can’t wait to see how this ages. (Same notes from when I purchased it! 😂)
The #PoggioalCarro needs more time but is still beautiful. It ended up pairing very nicely with dessert - something I didn’t expect.
17 year old and 21 year old Brunello respectively. Totally different and both excellent. Acquiring old vintages should be a side quest.
This vanilla orange blossom flan with an Alsatian Gewurztraminer is magic. 🫣🤤 Will definitely be bringing it to the remainder of summer wine dinners! 🍊🍮
27-years-old and no longer counting. London stays giving when it comes to great wines that have been impeccable aged.
This Fanti #BrunellodiMontalcino is tertiary and proud of it!! ☺️🤭🍷

This plays well above its age. Complex. Rich. Brooding. Elegant.
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. The 2020 Brunello is FASCINATING.
It’s all about the winemaker.
This 2020 Brunello reaches far beyond its age. It shows beautifully and now I’m intrigued to try the older vintages.
Drink or hold. It shows promise for both.
After the 2019 vintage, we “decided” to wait for vintages to have a little more weight on them before drinking.
And then I met the 2020 vintages… and I decided that I didn’t need to wait for everything to be perfect.
The 2013 and 2019 showed vastly differently tonight. Both are good, but one was clearly better (to me). What’s your choice?!
Put my pastry school skills to work for the second month in a row for our wine community dinner tonight. 🤭☺️ (🍓🍓 were better a couple weeks ago.)
I love finding out I still enjoy Istrian wine. Croatia was and continues to be such a delightful adventure. #croatiatraveltips #istria #malvasia

Rep. @JamesTalarico: "Are we sending our limited, precious taxpayer dollars to the wealthiest families in the state? And if you say that's not the purpose, then put it in your bill!"
Very excited for this wine after bringing it home from #ChateauGrandBarrail a few months ago!! (It paired beautifully with an arribiata tonight!)
My side quests generally involve making pastries and hunting down wines that aren’t imported. 🤣🫣
Now you?
