Started the day with Please The Palate tasting the fabulous Idlewild WinesWines lineup and Italian cheeses with Sam. Then after a break back to the desk, pop in tastings at Aeris Wines for 1st in Cali Carricante, and Longboard Winery for meeting new friends and tastes. Then it was the 17th annual Pigs & Pinot for the best of both and running into friends and winemakers. PS— 5-spice caramel spareribs for the win! Pinots that called my name-- Dot Wine White Pinot Noir as a gorgeous welcome, Ra Ra carbonic, Tongue Dancer Wines and Melville Winery
Thanks for looping me into your day @pleasethe palate

Yes!

Adventures at Gambero Rosso “Tre Biccchieri” Italian wine awards tasting in San Francisco Friday. (And… the teeth don’t lie that I made it to the red wines this year!). Beautiful discoveries and tastes of favorites.
