Happy #NationalDrinkWineDay to all the wine loving parents who are literally balancing kids and wine at this moment. Cheers to us 🍷🎉 . . . We opened this lovely @3broswine Stoney Lonesome Pinot Noir. Smoky and leathery on the nose but bright pops of raspberry and almost red grapefruit notes on the palate with a dusty light tannin. . . . #comesipwithus #wineday #nationalwineday #drinkmorewine #drinklocal #threebrotherswinery #3broswine #flxwine #fingerlakeswine #senecalakewine #boymom #visitroc #momswhowine #winemoms #thisislife #momlife #momsofinstagram #imomsohard #unicornmom #wineeducator.

Who loves a wine pairing dinner?! Last night I attended a collaborative dinner with @hermannjwiemer and @simplycrepes. It was divine! . . 1) spicy curry soup balanced out by a 2017 semi dry Riesling that was so juicy . . 2) eggplant rollatoni with @livelyrundairy goat cheese with a peppery 2013 Cab Franc that cut the creaminess . . 3) poutine and quail egg with 2016 Extra Brut sparkling, just omg good . . 4) bugolgi steak tacos with the biodynamic 2017 Riesling that emphasized the meatiness and brightness . . 5) pork katsu and charred cabbage slaw with 2018 Reserve Riesling, a lovely smoky blend of flavors . . 6) blackberry fig jam crepe with black sesame ice cream and the 2016 Noble Select Riesling, which was just an opulent finish to an amazing meal. . . . #comesipwithus #hermannjwiemer #winedinner #winepairing #simplycrepes #wineanddine #foodandwine #wineeducator #winelover #flxwine #nywine #yesny #fingerlakeswine #flx #fingerlakes #drinklocal #eatlocal #visitroc #iheartroc #thisisroc #roceats #rochesterny.

Let’s talk oak! What’s your favorite type? 🧈 Buttery French oak? 🥥 Coconut American oak? 🍂 Spicy Hungarian oak? I’m a Hungarian fan, love when someone ages a Cab Franc in this oak and creates a spicy flavorful wine. . . . This photo was taken during the @triuswines tour. We had the chance to try their Bordeaux style blend in their aging cellar. It was a delicious berry, cherry, leathery and peppery wine. . . . #comesipwithus #triuswines #niagaraonthelake #niagaraonthelakewine #wineadventures #winetravel #wineeducator #winefun #winelovers #oak #winecellar #oldnavystyle #travelawesome #passportready #winestagram #winegeek #winetravel

Do you like older wine? . . With all the snow, we thought it would be fun to open something we’ve been saving. This @atwaterwine 2014 Pinot Noir has lost a lot of its fruity notes, and is totally smoky and leathery. I love these notes, but it’s not always for everyone. Some wines, like Cab Franc, I actually prefer young! . . . Also, had to use my @lakesandgrapes glass to celebrate all the lake effect snow. Without the Great Lakes we wouldn’t get this beautiful fluffy snow! . . . . #comesipwithus #winelovers #lakesandgrapes #lakeeffect #lakeeffectsnow #snowfall #wine #olderwine #pinotnoir #fingerlakeswine #flxwine #fingerlakes #yesny #iloveny #nywine #drinklocal #wineeducator #winelover #winetasting. #snowday

Well, it snowed about a wine bottle’s worth last night... how do you measure snow? . . . @drfrankwine consistently produces some of my favorite sparkling wine, and I love that they do the whole range of styles from Blanc de Blanc to Rosé to Riesling! This 2012 was my partner and my compromise wine because that year we had super strong opinions on the Blanc de Blanc and Blanc de Noir (he strongly preferred the latter and I the former, but we both loved this one). . . . . #comesipwithus #flxwine #fingerlakeswine #winepassion #instawine #winestagram #visitroc #iheartroc #winetime #flxwine #winelover #wine #thankful #fallleaves #winesofinstagram #winebottle #winerylovers #fingerlakes #winelovers #wineblogger #vinho #winepairing #winestagram #winetasting #momlife #sparklingwine #champagnepop #riesling #momswhowine

Vidal Icewine and a little hotdog with ice wine caramel it’s onion? Yessiree! . . . I love when wineries do unexpected food pairings like this. Its a great way of showing how versatile wine can be, even sweet wine like Icewine! The sweet apricot wine and savory meaty combo was amazing, and it totally makes me want to try more hot dog pairings. Well done @triuswines, a great choice for @niagarawinefest! . . . . #comesipwithus #niagaraonthelakewineries #niagaraonthelake #niagarawine #niagarawinefest #winetour #winefest #winefestival #wineeducator #winetime #wineanddine #wineandfood #winepairing #hotdog #hotdoggourmet
