Haut-Brion 1988 – a real pleasure. On the nose, still showing cassis, cedar wood, leather and a touch of tobacco. The tannins are very fine, with a light, well-integrated acidity still present, keeping the wine lively. The colour is still beautiful as well. #bordeaux #redwine 🍷

It’s absolutely wonderful here in Tuscany. The Bolgheri region is a treasure trove of delicious food. We’re enjoying it immensely. One could definitely get used to this. 🇮🇹🍷☀️🍽️ #bolgheri #tuscany #delicious #food #wine

A meal with my parents again today! Avocado, mango, kingfish, and tuna—paired, naturally, with Bollinger Champagne! Followed by a Panzanella salad with peperonata, capers, and basil, alongside a beef entrecôte. Paired with a beautifully aged 2007 Giusto di Notri! Wonderful. Truly delicious! Weekend! #champagner #bollinger #france #redwine #tuarita #tuscany #italy 🍾🥂🍷🥩🥳

Lamb on the menu again today! Lamb Bordelaise with creamy mashed potatoes and butter-glazed carrots, enriched by a rich reduction of red wine sauce and veal jus. Paired perfectly with a 2002 Château Pichon Longueville Baron. Lovely blackcurrant and cedar notes, creating a truly wonderful pairing. Saturday — what else? Enjoy the weekend, and don’t forget to open a great bottle of red wine! Life is too short to drink bad wine 😉🍷🎶🍷 🐑🍽️🇫🇷🎸 #bordeaux #pauillac #redwine #france #lamb #enjoy #bordelaise #weekend

Enjoying Saturday with my love and friends! Could there be anything better? Champagne to start, followed by panzanella salad with a regional entrecote of beef! Accompanied by Bolgheri red wine! The little brother of Sassicaia, and a beautifully aged Il Pino from Biserno! Delicious! Exquisite! To finish, cheese with sweet wine from Alsace! Life is beautiful! #champagne #redwine #sweetwine #france #italy #beef #summer #delicious #whatelse 🇫🇷🇮🇹🍷🍾🐂☀️😎🍽️

It’s slowly getting warmer, so today I opened two very delicious wines from Tuscany. Alongside, I had some beef with fried potatoes, peperonata, and zucchini. Everything goes very well together and is a true delight. 🇮🇹🍷🥩🥔 Both wines were thoroughly enjoyable! A Bordeaux blend (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc) and a pure Merlot – what else?! Delicious 😋😋😋 #redwine #italy #food #friends #tuscany #tuarita #giustodinotri #poggioallevipere #music #adrianocelentano 🎶

Still in good shape :) a little bit suprised .. delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley 🇺🇸🍇 @jwalkermobile : What do you think of this drop? What's your opinion? 2005 vintage in Napa? #DRH #redwine #napavalley #cabernetsauvignon #delicious

Today we had some Balik salmon with bergamot again! combined with a delicious Blanc de Blancs Champagne. 2009 is great vintage. Love it! ==> Elegant and complex, the nose opens with scents of hazelnut and citrus pulp (tangerine, yuzu) and preserved pear. With ventilation, pure and crystalline aromas (raw butter and fresh honey) emerge, given by the calcareous soil of the house's terroir. For the main course, a porcini mushroom risotto with Parmesan. For the red wine I decided on 2 red wines. A mature Merlot from Ticino, which already had beautiful tertiary aromas. Matches the mushrooms. As an alternative, a Sangiovese from Tuscany. Both went well with risotto. A successful meal #Balik #champagne #redwine #risotto #blancdeblancs #chardonnay #merlot #sangiovese #parmesan #delicious #dinner #friends #weekend 🍾🥂🐟🍄‍🟫🍷
