My journey to complete my WSET level 2 and my WSET 3 certifications was populated with many tastings and bottles of fine wine. In the older posts, read about my journey in this blog that featured wines in both of the courses. My next stop on my journey was doing my own wine tours in the Okanagan for 6 years. Now I'm retired (again) and just drinking - and tasting - wine! Join me as we taste a new wine every couple of weeks!

Time to Taste White Wine from the Hills of Bordeaux
This time we taste a typical Bordeaux white wine which is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.
Chateau Puyanche has been in the family for five generations and makes wine in Bordeaux. After trying this white Bordeaux, why not check out some of the white Bordeaux blends in the Okanagan?

Time to Taste some Baby Brunello
This 2019 Castello Banfi Rosso di Montalcino is truly an amazing Sangiovese from the heart of Tuscany.
The area is one of the best regions in Italy - and has some of the most expensive wines - but Rossi di Montalcino is an affordable, Italian red, perfect with food!
