Started with my favorite sauv blanc @loveblockwine ....moved to my favorite chard Chateau Montelena and will end with a pinot and maybe a syrah from @tensleywine. Amazing wine will make a mediocre day great, and a great day, divine.

This 2019 #NewZealand #SauvignonBlanc is just as #refreshing as the #SauvBlanc pioneer for whom it's named - @loveblockwine #EricaCrawford -wife of #KimCrawford (the man, not the brand 😉) Kudos also to female #winemaker @julestaylorwine! #veganfriendly #wine #Marlborough

Hey @webafrica it’s not reasonable to make me hang on for. 90 and be no where near a solution for a simple fault. Bloody hell!

Who'd think a Kiwi Chardonnay would bring a warm glow to an icy Cape Town winter? @loveblockwine eschews the lean, stoney, barnacle edgy style that is all too common in modern Chardonnays. Delicate, refined and pure, but shines with exotic tropical fruit. @loveblockwine
