I knooow wine is the most dense and hard to comprehend of all the beverages. Let me help you break through the mess of it all! ...Because I’m stuck inside like everyone else rn. #Tweetasomm
My partner @BlackGirlsDrink and I sharing a little Thursday Beauj-Vi. This bottle is everything I know #jeanfoillard wine to be. Darkly fruited, ample earth and spice, concentrated and elegant. I swear we drink non-French wine...sometimes.
This 1999 Hermitage from Domaine Belle was lovely. Advanced dried fruits and cured meats, licorice and dried savory herbs. Check out that core! #Hermitage#rhonewine
This is a failure of hospitality. You don’t just throw a bottle at a guest because you think they’re wealthy or not. BUT if you don’t take a moment to ask what something costs thennn that my friends is shared responsibility.
The #winekey tool on the right I use to cut the foil capsule covering the cork, and to pull the cork out just a touch. This will unstick the cork from the bottle, but pulling any further and I risk breaking a fragile cork.
The #AhSo tool on the left is what extracts the cork. The tongs pinch the cork and allow you to extract it in one piece. Just a little work and voilà! Time to decant and sip.
Acquired: the season’s first bottles of rosé. @agricolacirelli Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo. Not just crushable #pinkdrink, this wine has weight and tannin while maintaining a generous personality. Perfect alongside grilled anything and usually under $20.

Somm-ing is not just about wine, it's about all things beverage. #Coffee, beer, #sake, spirits/cocktails, and tea. Only one of those usually finds its way to me before lunch... and it's not tea. Whats your AM beverage of choice?
