As a sommelier💁♀️ every time we go on holidays with the family I always try to combine pleasure and work … each place we go there is always a wine region 🍇and some new wines🍷 to discover.
👉This time our passion for surfing 🏄🏄♀️🏄♂️took us to the south west of Portugal in the beautiful Algarve 🍇wine region.
I had the chance to visit and taste the wines of Paxa winery being welcomed by Duarte 🙋♂️the wine maker … how lucky I felt to get to meet him and ask him all the questions I had.
Duarte surprised me with the first white wine not telling me the grape variety 😃what a challenge … but the exotic notes of litchis and passion fruits and the crispy and refreshing aftertaste gave me some info about the grape 😋variety …
Sauvignon 😉
👉Then I tasted a more local grape variety Verdelho vintage 2023, citrus notes and tangerine, passion fruit. Dry with a very long aftertaste… it will definitely go well with a sea scallops carpaccio or a grilled fish with a zest of lemon.
👉It was followed by another white, made with 100% Viognier…. One of my favorite 💘grape variety 😌 on the nose …very closed at first needed some time to aerate in the glass … then dried fruits notes walnuts, apricot🍑, pistachio …
Well balanced with a long aftertaste …
Lots of complexity for this wine who stayed in old oak barrels for about 7 months.
Perfect pairing … can you guess my favorite dish …chicken stuffed with a blend of dried apricot and pistachio 🥘🤩
I went from one surprise to the other 🤩💁♀️🍇🍷😋
Always so much to learn anywhere you go 🤩🏄🍷🍇

As a private sommelier, one of my favorite activities is to take clients to meet passionate local winemakers 🍇. There is no better way to understand the concept of terroir and the intricacies of the winemaking process 🌿. These experiences culminate in a wine tasting, perfectly complemented by local cheeses 🧀, making the experience truly special. Additionally, visiting an exclusive restaurant nestled in the vineyards 🍴 to enjoy a delicious, handcrafted meal is always a welcome highlight. Wine tours are especially enjoyable when accompanied by a professional driver and a dedicated private sommelier 🚗🍷. 🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇En tant que sommelier privé, l’une de mes activités préférées est d’emmener mes clients rencontrer des vignerons locaux passionnés 🍇.

🍇🍇🍇My clients from Switzerland and Germany had a delightful experience exploring a winery nestled on the hill of Nice Saint Jean de Bellet. They gained valuable insights into the wines and grape varieties indigenous to Bellet. As a sommelier, I prioritize guiding my clients to small, authentic wineries where handcrafted excellence and rich narratives abound.☝️💪. 🍇🍇🍇“Mes clients venant de Suisse et d’Allemagne ont eu le plaisir de découvrir un vignoble perché sur la colline de Nice, à Saint Jean de Bellet.

👉🍷🍇🎶In my 25 years working with wine, I’ve learned how crucial it is to treat it right before tasting. Aeration, especially for young reds, is key. Letting them breathe softens their harshness and brings out their full aroma. The time needed varies depending on the grapes and where they’re from. 👉💦For white wines, especially rich, oak-aged ones, giving them about an hour to breathe before serving makes a big difference, enhancing their flavor and making the tasting experience truly enjoyable.
👉🍇🍷❣️
En 25 ans de travail dans la découverte et service du vin, j’ai appris l’importance cruciale de bien traiter le vin avant de le déguster. L’aération, surtout pour les jeunes vins rouges, est essentielle. Les laisser respirer adoucit leurs tanins et révèle leurs arômes. La durée nécessaire varie en fonction des raisins et de leur origine. 👉👉Pour les vins blancs, notamment ceux riches et vieillis en fût de chêne, leur accorder environ une heure pour respirer avant de les servir fait toute la différence, en développant leurs arômes et rendant l’expérience de dégustation vraiment agréable.❣️🍇🍷 #WineService #WineTasting #LanguedocRoussillonWine #SommelierLife #WineLovers #WineCulture #WineExperience #WineJourney #WineAppreciation #WineEducation #WineTime #WineLife #VineyardVibes #WinePassion #GrapeExpectations #WineWisdom #TasteOfTerroir #CheersToWine
