Back from my travels? Yes.
Sad about it? A little.
Tasting wine? Yup!
Check out this week's video - Diabolica is a super-popular wine line - but is it any good???
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!

This time we try a Pinot Grigio from Northern Italy. This one was surprisingly tasty and just might change my opinion on Pinot Grigio! It’s a 2020 Sun Goddess Pinot Grigio Ramato.
How is this ’Sunshine in a Bottle’? Check out the tasting video for this food-friendly Italian white blend from Orvieto, Umbria, Italy.
Ruffino is a larger wine producer that produces this white blend of four grapes from the Orvieto DOC, the best area of Umbria. This is a 2020 Ruffino Orvieto Classico.
Today we're drinking an Albariño — but there's an interesting twist. This 2024 Raimat Albariño doesn't come from the cool, Atl...
