✨ Madison, MS & surrounding areas… cheers to another Wine Down Wednesday! 🥂🥂🥂

Purchased:

🚨 New wine alert just in time for end-of-summer celebrations, football season kickoffs, and even holiday gatherings… new Sparkling Chenin Blanc has officially landed in the area!

Y’all already know I’m a sparkling wine girlie—it’s always my go-to. A couple years back I had the pleasure of visiting this winery in person, and let me just say…the hospitality is just as top-tier as their wines.

This beauty has definitely made it onto my 40th birthday wine list. Now the question is—do I pop it open early, or wait until October? 👀

If I cave early, I’ll be pairing it with the Steelers vs. Seahawks game this Sunday + a spread of potato skins & fried mushrooms.

👉🏽 What do y’all think? Should I open it now or save it? And are you a fan of sparkling Chenin Blancs?

Cheers to Wine Down Wednesday! 🥂🍷

🗣️ JACKSON, MS + Surrounding Areas — LISTEN UP!

One of my absolute favorite wine producers, the iconic André Hueston Mack, has new wine in town and you already know I had to sn**ch it up immediately! 🙌🏾

Today’s feature: Bottoms Up White Table Wine by
Purchased locally from (located in Madison, Ms).

Let’s talk about this beauty — the label is fire 🔥 but what’s inside the bottle? Even better.

✨ Bottoms Up is a vibrant blend — mostly Riesling, with a touch of Müller-Thurgau, Pinot Blanc, and Gewürztraminer. Think chin-dripping peaches, zesty citrus, refreshing acidity, and just the right kiss of sweetness. Basically? A whole vibe in a glass.

It’s giving “keep this in rotation for all your events.”

💬 Have you tried anything from this collection? Drop your faves in the comments!

And don’t forget to follow & for more wine gems.

Bottoms up, y’all! 🥂

🍷🍷🍷In celebration of National Syrah Day, let’s delve into some fascinating facts about Syrah.

Also known as Shiraz, Syrah is the term used in France and other Old World countries, while Shiraz is used in Australia and other New World countries.

Syrah is cultivated in multiple countries, including France, Italy, Spain, the US, South Africa, and Australia. The style of Syrah can vary significantly depending on the climate, vineyard, and winemaking decisions.

South Africa has a long history of growing Syrah grapes, spanning over 100 years. The country’s cool coastal influences allow for the development of complex flavors.

Syrah is the second most planted red variety in South Africa, following Cabernet Sauvignon.

South Africa has the fourth largest plantings of Syrah globally.

Syrah pairs well with bold foods like BBQ’d steak, ribs, roasts, and game or biltong (South African-originating, air-dried, and cured meat snack.)

🍷
FLAVIAN SYRAH 2020, a South African Syrah from the Swartland region, is the featured wine.

What is your preferred Syrah pairing? 🍷

Cheers to September, Virgo season & International Cap Classique Day! 🥂🥂🥂

South Africa celebrates International Cap Classique Day every year on September 1st and what better way for us in the States to close out our summer season.

Everyone that knows my wine journey knows I am a Sparkling Wine Fanatic!
Cap Classique is my go to sparkling wine when I don’t want to spend champagne money champagne.🥂🥂🥂

🥂Cap Classique Fun Facts 🥂
This first Cap Classique, released in 1973 by Simonsig under the name Kaapse Vonkel (“Cape Sparkle”).
Cap Classique is made in the traditional method of sparkling wine production. This means that the second fermentation happens in the bottle, just like in Champagne.
Cap Classique sparkling does not have restrictions on what grapes are used to make the delicious bubbly stuff. At first there was a lot of Chenin Blanc, but now there is more South African sparkling wine made from the same grapes as Champagne; Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.

My food pairing for these amazing bubbles: sweet and sour chicken, caviar, salmon, sushi, strawberries and cream, perfect for brunch, grilled shrimp, strawberry shortcake ice cream, crème brûlée

Let me know your favorite Cap Classique below in the comments! 🥂🥂🥂
