Save the date! On Friday, October 24, from 4-6 p.m., Viviana from 100% Italiano will be in the shop tasting their Amaro Importante and two Italian red wines from their portfolio. A great way to start your Friday evening.

I’m finding it’s a bit dangerous to own @marylandfarmsws.bsky.social as I keep coming across gems like this on our shelves. #wine #Port

The bright aromas of raspberry, blackberry, strawberry & cherry meld together on the palette. Soft, yet firm tannins frame the fruit with spices & vanilla into a balanced, lingering finish. Come in and grab a bottle of Willajory Willamtte Valley Pinot Noir at under $20!

So excited to embark on this adventure as co-owner of @marylandfarmsws.bsky.social with my beautiful wife, Marianne. Look forward to being in the shop Monday & getting to work with this amazing team. Please follow the shop on your socials & come see us! #wine #spirits #cigars #Nashville #Brentwood

For my Friday #wine post, this is a helpful breakdown of the price hikes the wine & spirits industry is seeing following the #tariffs. It cost me $50 more for my spring shipment from New Zealand. Politics aside, drinking is just more expensive now. www.wineenthusiast.com/culture/indu...

For my Friday #wine post, a feature on California #Zinfandel. My go-to producers? Limerick Lane and Ridge. www.wineenthusiast.com/culture/wine...

Visited Ricasoli in 2009. Beautiful place and I’ve always enjoyed their wines.

This leaves aside that adopting sustainable practices is just the right thing to do, not that we give a crap about that.

There’s a duh/strawman aspect to this. Of course taste & cost are the most important factors in selling #wine. “Here is my $300 Cab. It tastes like overripe, molded fruit but we have solar panels!” Get out of here. It’s about making great wine then telling the story of why it is worth a few extra $.

For my Friday #wine post, here is a little primer on what the word "reserve" actually means on a wine label. The short answer? Everything or nothing, depending on who is using it and where. www.wineenthusiast.com/basics/drink...

Franciacorta by bike - Decanter Franciacorta by bike: Take in the vineyards of Franciacorta by bike for an immersive introduction to the sparkling wine region.

Want high quality traditional method sparkling wines without the hefty price tag of high-end Champagne? I recommend Franciacorta & England. Ca' del Bosco is amazing. Hopefully more of these wines will be entering American markets even with the tariff threats. www.decanter.com/wine-travel/...
