In the spirit of the US Open (aka just finding an excuse to open some nice bottles 🎾🍷), two recent American favorites:

Ridge Monte Bello 2002 — older California wine is just special. More than 20 years on, it had layers and layers of cassis, cherry, to***co, earth, mint and spice, with that beautiful balance of depth and freshness. A reminder of why aged California can be so magical.

DANA Estates Hershey — if you’re not familiar with DANA, it’s one of those cult Napa producers that’s so hard to get your hands on. Production is tiny and the wines are highly allocated, so you don’t exactly stumble across them on a wine-shop shelf. Hershey comes from a steep, rocky site on Howell Mountain, and the wine is all about depth, structure and layers — the kind of bottle where you keep finding something new in the glass.

Have you tried either of these?

Guess who’ll be back in France next week! 🇫🇷🥂

I’m ridiculously excited to be heading to Bordeaux to visit a fantastic winery (more on that soon 👀🍷), and then spending a few days in Paris catching up with old friends! And I genuinely can’t believe it’s been a few years since my last visit. How did that happen?! 😭

Now for the very important question:

Friends, I’m coming for your best Paris recommendations. 🇫🇷

What’s the ONE place I absolutely cannot miss?

I’ll be saving your recommendations and reporting back. 👀🥂

“Champagne with squab?”
“Why not? We’re not here to follow rules.” 🥂🕊️

If you still think Meunier is just the third wheel in Champagne, this bottle might change your mind.

Emilien Feneuil’s Cuvée Meunier Blanc de Noirs is 100% Meunier — seriously elegant, but with enough structure and savory depth to hold its own alongside richer, gamey flavors. Think juicy orchard fruit, a little spice, chalky freshness, and that savory quality that keeps pulling you back for another sip.

And honestly? It was so good with squab. Who said Champagne had to behave? 😉

These aren’t your everyday Sauvignon Blancs.

✨ Didier Dagueneau Pur Sang & Silex — Sauvignon Blanc with a completely different kind of personality: intensely mineral, textured, and unmistakably terroir-driven.
✨ Nicolas Barbou Utopia Creative — wonderfully unconventional and expressive, the kind of bottle that makes you stop and ask, wait, what exactly am I drinking?
✨ Gérard Boulay La Côte Sancerre 2020 — elegant, savory and quietly complex, showing just how profound Sancerre can be.

Before summer slips away, I’m holding onto long afternoons outside, flowers in bloom, picnic blankets, and wonderful bottles that make you slow down and stay awhile. ☀️🌿🍷

Some dinners are worth getting dressed up for. This was one of them. 🥂

Finally made it to César, Chef César Ramirez’s intimate restaurant, and it’s exactly the kind of place I love: elegant without feeling stuffy, thoughtful without trying too hard. French technique, seasonal ingredients, and plenty of personality on the plate.

Wine list is great too! Already thinking about what I’d order next time. 👀

Can’t believe summer is almost over. 🥲 Trying to soak up every last bit of it — long sunny days, good food, chilled bottles of Louis Latour Inc., and those evenings that somehow turn into “just one more glass.” ☀️🍷

Bordeaux was the first wine region I visited when I started my wine journey, so it will always have a special place in my heart. ❤️

And there’s truly nothing like an old Bordeaux night.

A very special lineup: Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 1982, Château Lafite 1994, Lynch-Bages 1995, and Vieux Château Certan 2008. The depth, the history, the evolution in the glass — there’s something so special about wines that have lived this long.

And somehow, our conversations went from “What’s your next vacation?” to relationships, regrets, and what we’re really doing with our lives. 😂 Maybe that’s what old Bordeaux does.
