We've been fans of @Beaucastel Côtes Du Rhône Reserve 2021 Rosé for years. This pretty wine is an intense yet delicate rosé, with aromas and flavors of flowers and red berries. The iconic Perrin family is a pioneer in organic farming since 1950. @Vineyard_Brands @vino_sphere

Superb winemaker Chris Peterson crafts impressive wines, which we've tasted for more than a decade. We visited @avenniawinery Red Mountain recently and tried nine excellent wines. Details of our visit: writeforwine.com/avennia-red… @MartyTaucher @RedMtnAVA @Wa_State_Wine @vino_sphere

2017 @zenatowinery Lugana Metodo Classico Brut Turbiana is creamy and rich, yet clean, zippy and zesty, with full flavors of pears, peaches, citrus notes and beautiful bubbles. Loved it! #luganalover @consorziolugana @ExplorWineGlass @dallaswinechick @vino_sphere @SustainableKW

We recently tasted three @ancwine wines: Adulting Sparkling White and Rosé (think summer parties) and 2022 Affinity Alabriño, which is crisp and fresh, with lower sugar and higher acidity. Details: writeforwine.com/anc/ @Wa_State_Wine @Vino_Hawks @VinoSocialNancy @vino_sphere

Trothe 2022 Sauv Blanc is stunning. Wine Advocate awarded it 96 points — the highest it has scored a @Wa_State_Wine white wine. A glass of summer, with citrus notes, clean minerality, crisp salinity and bright acidity. @dallaswinechick @VinoSocialNancy @WINESofWA @vino_sphere

Trothe Limited Red 2020 blends Cab Franc (67%) and Cab Sauv (33%), and had me at its killer nose. Gorgeous now, it will be epic after cellaring. writeforwine.com/andrews-fam… @Wa_State_Wine @nwwinereport @owenbargreen @ExplorWineGlass @vino_sphere @WINESofWA

We visited with the dream team at the beautiful Trothe facilities and toured the vast Andrews Family Vineyards in the @HorseHvnHills in WA. What a compelling time. And the wine - sophisticated with finesse. More: writeforwine.com/andrews-fam… @Wa_State_Wine @owenbargreen @nwwinereport

2017 @BarrageCellars Double Barrel is 100% Red Mountain Cab Sauv. So it features the AVA’s power and structure, with aromas and flavors of blackberries, dark plums, cherries, mocha and spice. What a beauty! Bring on the BBQ! @Wa_State_Wine @vino_sphere @WINESofWA @WineDivaLife

2017 @TheWallsWW Mahana shows the Rocks District savory characteristics of smoked meat, olive tapenade and subtle, suave funk. It was very popular last night at a dinner party we attended. WOTN! @Wa_State_Wine @WWValleyWine @VisitWallaWalla @vino_sphere @VinoSocialNancy

2022 @Zeni1870 Vigne Alte is intense and rich; full-bodied, yet delicate and fresh. Aromas of strawberries and roses lead into notes of peaches and tropical fruits, with only hints of lemon and minerals. This is a textured and powerful Turbiana. @consorziolugana @vino_sphere

From Lugana, @zenatowinery is known for delicious whites, and we loved San Benedetto. This Turbiana offers rich citrus flavors, bright acidity and creamy minerality. Try it at Destination Lugana, hosted by @consorziolugana More: destinationlugana.com @Vignetocomm @vino_sphere
