I was excited to discover that Upper Shirley Vineyards near Richmond, Virginia was having a Governor's Cup Wine Dinner pairing their 2024 gold medal winning wines with an enticing chef inspired dinner! We have been to Upper Shirley Vineyards before and we just love the plantation house winery and restaurant, the view of the James River, and the wonderful wines we have tried over the years!...

This past Summer has been hot and humid every day followed by a couple hours soaking rain! The flowers love it! But I love that it's Finally Fall and I am still indulging into some great white wines that really Rock!

I discovered the Sun Goddess Pinot Grigio earlier this year and loved it but haven't found it since! BUT I did find Sun Goddess Sauvignon Blanc which is just as legit as the PG! The Sun Goddess wine label is owned by famous musician Mary J Blige and produced by the Italian winery Fantinel Winery. This Italian Sauvignon Blanc is medium bodied with flavors of tropical fruit, melon, passion fruit, hints of banana, and a long, refreshing finish. Perfect flavors and it's music to your palate! Rock n Roll never forgets and this wine is just as unforgettable! Cheers! 🥂🍷🎶💕

I just spent a few days in Yosemite National Park and the trip was fantastic! I have never seen such stunning views of mountains, waterfalls, rivers, forests, and awesome natural beauty. If you have never been to Yosemite National Park , then please put it on your bucket list because it was all stunning! One of the mountains that I visited is called Half Dome and you will know it when you see it with its 1/2 rounded peak on top. So to celebrate this magnificent mountain, I bought a bottle of Ian McCaffrey's "Tissack" Rosè and it is wonderfully delightful too! This Rosè is dry in style with flavors of bright raspberry, cranberry, herbs, melon, with hints of rhubarb on the long finish. Just as the Half Dome Mountain is a California Icon, you can find this Ian McCaffrey Rosè California Icons Wine or at Californiaicons.com online. Cheers to great wine and the breathtaking natural beauty of our National Parks! 🥂🏞️🍷🌄🎉

Just boost my Summertime with great Wine & Sunshine and it will be Perfect! I am finding lots of perfection in this glass of 2019 Ardiri Winery Pinot Noir from the Chehalem Mountains in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Ruby in color, medium bodied, with intense cherry, red berry, earth, and vanilla vibes on the nose. It is beautifully balanced and alluringly delicious with flavors of ripe red cherry, cranberry, tea, cola, spices, and a lingering vanilla oak finish. Complex and layered but easy going across the palate.

I found this captivating Ardiri Pinot Noir on the Wines 'Til Sold Out - WTSO.com . Scoring it alongside other Oregon Pinot Noirs, I give this 92 Points! Check for this wine on the Wines Til Sold Out site or at Ardiri Winery and Vineyards here on . Cheers to great wine and Summer Sunshine! 🍷🌞
