Hey Lovlies!!
This time of the year is my favorite! The weather is amazing all season long!! There's so much to do before the summer heat comes a đ„” blazing!!
đ·Wine is the perfect pairing for every event and activity this Spring! đ·Whether it's indoors or outdoors, a glass of wine is sure to make things even more enjoyable.
Here are đș 5 Spring activities đŒ I recommend doing this season (along with my wine pairing suggestions):
1. đŠïž Enjoy a glass of Riesling after an April rain shower. I love having a glass of wine on my balcony when it's raining đ§ïž . Did you know that the aromas of certain high end Rieslings have a similar smell to rainwater?!
đWine Recommendation: PARRA WINE CO. 2021 ROJAS-MARTINEZ VINEYARD WILLAMETTE VALLEY OREGON RIESLING [BUY NOW]
đŹïžTasting Notes: This dry Riesling entices with flavors of đGranny Smith apples, đapricot, and đđBartlett pear, and ends with a slightly đ«§mineral finish.
2. There's nothing better than getting Touchy-Feely while on a romantic picnic! Pack a đ§șbasket of your đ„favorite salad with goat cheese, grilled đ„vegetables, or empanadas.
đWine Recommendation: THE FARM WINERY 2018 TOUCHY-FEELY ADELAIDA DISTRICT PASO ROBLES GRENACHE [BUY NOW]
đŹïžTasting Notes: This brilliant and attractive đ·ruby red blend offers fragrant aromas of ripe, soft raspberry, đcherry, black currant and đ„€cola. With a full-bodied palette, this wine has expressive flavors of đberry preserves, spice, and đcherries with an effortlessly integrated acidity. It has a lovely, velvety frame with fine-grained silky texture.
3. Fire up đ„ the grill for a BBQ đ!! The best thing about a barbecue is that you can take the grill anywhere you want to go. Whether it's at the đïžbeach, a đïžpark, a đ„ïžmarina, a đĄbackyard, or a đïžrooftop pool-you're going to enjoy that đšbreezy spring weather! Enjoy a nice glass of Grenache with some yummy đgrilled meats, đsmokey barbecue sauces, and đ„grilled veggies.
đWine Recommendation: THE.GRENACHISTA 2019 MOUNTS VINEYARD DRY CREEK VALLEY SONOMA COUNTY GRENACHE NOIR [BUY NOW]
đŹïžTasting Notes: Opens with black plum and đstrawberry. Then a wonderful thing happens: The fruit fades leaving đ«white pepper and cedar. Itâs like a Gigondas Grenache! On the palate, the đstrawberry shines, followed by garrigue and đ«spice. With an angular acid backbone and strong, grippy tannin, itâs a Grenache Noir for Pinot Noir lovers.
4. đ§čThe ChĂąteau Spring Cleaningđ!! It's that time of the year to do some đȘŁdeep cleaning and reorganizing! I always like to put a twist on the dreaded housecleaning. Brush up on your đ«đ·French, pull out that sexy little đŻââïžhousekeeping outfit and grab a đ·glass of wine!!!
đWine Recommendation: CHĂTEAU CABEZAC 2019 MINERVOIS FRANCE CARIĂU CARIGNAN [BUY NOW]
đŹïžTasting Notes: On the nose, youâll find aromas of ripe fruits and đ«black olives. On the palate, the wine is fleshy and lush with an explosion of black đcherries and wild garrigue đherbs.
5. Relax in a đbubble bath while sipping on some đ„bubbly!! This is something you should do at least once a week!đïž
Wine Recommendation: SCHRAMSBERG VINEYARDS 2019 BLANC DE BLANCS NORTH COAST BRUT SPARKLING WINE [BUY NOW]
Tasting Notes: âThe 2019 Blanc de Blancs has lifted aromas of fresh đGranny Smith apple, đlemon-lime and đ„fresh baked bread, intermingled with hints of baked đpineapple and toasted đ„almonds. Its vibrant flavors of Meyer đlemon and tartđ apple bring drive to the mid-palate, leading to a clean, palate-cleansing finish.â âWinemakers Sean Thompson, Jessica Koga and Hugh Davies
If you're looking for more wine suggestions, recipes, and tips I definitely recommend joining The California Wine Club . You can shop their individual bottles, pre-selected cases, and also join their club for hand-selected wines.
What makes The California Wine Club different from other wine clubs?
They personally visit each winery, meet the families, the winemakers and then select two bottles of their best. You can be assured that every wine comes from a small, real-working winery. They only feature wines in their wine club that they would serve in their home to family and friends.
Cheers to some wonderful Springtime fun!! đ·đ·
