More Salmon… I think we eat it four times a week. This time I broiled it with s&p and evoo then topped it with shallot, lemon zest , herb butter. Served on top of Arugula with oven roasted king oyster mushrooms and fresh chives with my evoo dressing. Pinson Chablis was perfect!
Wax dipping on the other side of the pond @Chablislodge. We did on big bottles. Tried it once on regular bottles for 5 cases—we decided the foil spinning method was much better
Practicing making Gougeres for a French dinner party next week. The house smells heavenly!
Epstein’s former lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, puts his hand to God and swears he knows that documents are being suppressed to protect individuals pertaining to Epstein, and he knows who is doing the suppressing. I’m here to tell you right now, it’s not Trump. These people have been…
Just need some Burrata or Mozzarella di Bufala!
Prime Rib Skewers with Gagliole 2021. Luscious.
Tonight’s Chablis is stunning. It’s was only made possible thanks to @Chablislodge driving us in the rain to the winery without an appointment and the father and son opened 3 wines for us to taste. Each better than the one before. One of my new favorite wineries
I need to get back to London!! Looks like a great trip!

A100% shout out and total thanks to Daniele @campochiarenti for all the help in making our dream come true to have a Tuscan Olive Oil. He was quality control—ordered the labels and shipped everything for us. Notice a couple cases of wine at the bottom of the pallet
It was the first wine I ever commercially bottled in 1981 along with a Chardonnay. I love Zin but it went the wrong way for many years
I haven’t had a Zin in over 25 years. From what I remember they were all over ripe, but I’m sure things have evolved since way back then.
Friday night treats. Love the weekend. Nothing like a full bodied Zin that’s not over ripe. Great food wine
Happy Birthday to the greatest daughter and winemaker, Sarah Garrett @SerranoWine Have a great day. Love you so much!
Our spring bottlings. They were very fun to taste over the last week. The first OVZ since 2017 and the first Napa Cab since 1998 Stagecoach Vineyard. Very excited about them.
@JojoRussellvine favorite dinner tonight a burger with our new Reserve Zinfandel. So fun to try new wines that have just been bottled and a special treat with a great burger
The @SerranoWine 2020 Vortex is an excellent red wine. A blend of 67% Mourvèdre and 33% Cab Sauv from the Russell Family vineyard in Paso. #drinkwine #redwine #mourvedre #txwineproducers #txwinemakers
We didn’t have Meursault @NickAnt12345 but not too shabby for 17 days in the bottle.
This wine is on its way to Denmark. They wanted 250 cases and the bottling was 253 cases so we got a few to try. @JojoRussellvine gave me the biggest compliment when she said it was like a Chablis.
