Exton Park Pinot Meunier Rosé NV, Hampshire, UK
Light salmon colour. Dried red fruits, orange zest, toasted brioche on a racy, mineral-laced finish. Nice creaminess through the end. #wine #englishwine #sommelier #sommelierlife #sommlife #wineporn #winestagram #sparklingwine #winewinewine #winelover — 7 years ago
2002 Bollinger La Côte Aux Enfants #PinotNoir #CoteauxChampenois #wine #somm #sommlife #sommelier. A satisfying rare red still wine from the #Champagne powerhouse. Dried red fruits intermingled with cedar, earth and damp mushrooms. Quite austere yet tannic for Pinot. Pretty incredible. — 8 years ago

2011 Liz Chambers 'Shea' #PinotNoir #Oregonwine #sommelier #sommlife. In a year shunned by many, great winemakers made great wine. This Shea is really strutting right now. Notes of violet, pomegranate, tart cherry intermingle with a romp through a fall forest with a whiff of vanilla spice hanging in the air. Soft and elegant; very long finish. — 9 years ago

Suvla 'Sur' 2011, Gallipoli Peninsula, Turkey
Blend of Merlot, Cab Franc, Cab Sauv, Petit Verdot. Very one dimensional. Extraction, fruit and oak. Jammy, black cherry, stewed plum mixed with vanilla spice. A good wine for Napa Valley palate. #wine #winetasting #winewinewine #winetagram #winewinewine #turkishwine #sommelier #sommlife #sommeliers #badwine #boring — 7 years ago
