Time to Taste a White Wine from Italy

 


Five years later - I tasted this wine in 2021 and it was a solid wine. This time, I am tasting the same wine but a different vintage - did my previous positive review still hold? Watch the video and find out as we try a 2024 Barone de Valforte Abruzzo Pecorino.

Time to Taste a Glorious Rhone Style White Blend .... from the Okanagan!


 This white blend from Q&A in Oliver is called RMV - which stands for Roussanne, Marsanne, and Viognier. Stylistically, it is similar to beautiful white blends in the Northern Rhone, in France. Check out this tasty, food-friendly wine!

Time to Taste a Provence Rosé - from a winery partially owned by Brad Pitt!


 

This time we try a Provence Rosé - beautiful light pink wine from the South of France. This 2024 Miraval Studio is a very good wine with a great price but is also famous as being partially owned by Brad Pitt!  This wine is a tasty patio pounder but really sings when having a snack, a charcuterie, salad or sushi. After watching this video, why not find out what kinds or rosé the Okanagan has to offer by booking a wine tour this summer using this link: https://www.wineandthensommwinetours.com/contact-us

Time to Taste a Super Tuscan!


 This time we try a Super Tuscan - wine made in Italy with a blend of Italian grapes (like Sangiovese) and International grapes (like Syrah). This 2020 Tenute Rossetti  all’Uso Toscano is made in the Governo style which means that some of the grapes were dried on straw mats and then added to the already fermented wine to start a second fermentation. This makes a richer wine that is perfect for Tuscan food - and a lot more!

Time to Taste a Chateauneuf-du-Pape wine from the Southern Rhone of France


 This time we try a 2022 Domaine Clef de Saint Thomas Pierre Troupel Chateauneuf-du-Pape  from the Southern Rhone. This wine comes from a very famous region of France and the wine is a bit of a splurge but is also a wonderful blend that is perfect for a special occasion.
