“I'll take Taittinger blanc de blancs….. It is not well known, but it is the best champagne in the world"
James Bond, in Casino Royale, by Ian Fleming in 1951

And I’ll agree to that with drinking the Comtes de Champagne, Grand Cru, Blanc de Blancs 2012 tonight for New Years Eve! This is the most premium cuvee by Taittinger and it’s absolutely divine! A treat to myself after such a successful year!

Happy New Year! 🥂🍾🥳

Wow 2023 what a year!
This year has been incredible and one of my best years professionally ever! I have achieved more than I could ever imagine in one year and I’ve embraced every opportunity that has come my way! It’s been such a busy year for me and some of my highlights are listed below:

I kicked off the year with a new job! And I stated working for Terroir et Vigernons de Champagne in the UK. Which is the 3rd biggest Champagne group in the world! and I get to work with and represent Champagne CASTELNAU and Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte in the UK!

I became an advanced level Cava educator and ambassador, all certified by the Cava DO! D.O. Cava

I finally got to attend my WSET diploma graduation in London at the Guildhall, after passing my Diploma in Jan 2022! One of my most proudest moments to date, as I struggled with my final exam the dreaded D3 and just couldn’t pass it! I’m so grateful for lockdown and having the time to revise properly and surprised myself by ending up with a merit overall! WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) WSET School London

Entering the Ramon Bilbao Spanish Wine Masters competition and going through 3 rounds to reach the final! I ended up placing 6th overall out of a hundreds who applied! Ramón Bilbao

Having my 1st paid wine article published in the Bordeaux Wines global newsletter, all about the new generation of Bordeaux reds! Bordeaux Wines Bordeaux Wines UK

I became a Dame Chevalier in the Ordre de Coteaux de Champagne or the OCC as my French colleagues say. This was such an honour for me as if you know me personally, then you’ll know that I totally love Champagne! So it’s great to be recognised as an official ambassador of Champagne! Ordre des Coteaux de Champagne Odc Champagne North

I’ve also been lucky enough to visit a few wine regions this year including 2 trips to Champagne, Bordeaux, Provence and the Rhone valley in France. Along with 2 trips to the Penedes (Cava), Rioja and Rueda in Spain!

And finally a shout out to all the people in the world of wine I’ve met this year, either through work, at wine tastings/trips, or even via SM! It’s been great to meet and chat to so many wine enthusiasts!

Happy New Year! 🥂

I pair well with Chardonnay! 💛
With the Little Yering Chardonnay from Yarra Valley, Australia!

⭐️I love the all of the Yering Station wines, but think the Little Yering range offers excellent value for a really really good Yarra Valley Chardonnay!

⭐️Yering Station were Victoria’s 1st planted vineyard all the way back in 1838 and today they are owned by the Rathbone Wine Group who focus on making cool climate premium Australian wines!

⭐️A lovely citrus note of grapefruit, with ripe honeydew melon and apple and with a creamy and toasty finish from spending some time in oak! Perfect to sip on its own or pair with food!

Cheers! 🥂

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love sent to me, twelve drummers drumming! 🎄🥁

⭐️Twelve drummers drumming, must mean that the Christmas PARTY is about to start! There’s only one drink I want to drink at Christmas parties and that’s Champagne of course!

⭐️And to make sure there’s enough Champagne for everyone, I have a Jeroboam of Champagne Castelnau, which is massive bottle containing 3 Litres or 4 bottles of Champagne! This party is definitely going off with a bang! 🍾🍾🍾🍾

Merry Christmas Everyone! 🥂🥂

On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love sent to me, eleven pipers piping! 🎄🪈

⭐️Pipes with to***co and wine go hand in hand and a nice smoky red will be perfect for Christmas in front of a winters fire! 🔥

⭐️The Ramon Bilbao Mirto 2016 Rioja is perfect red wine to sip away in front of the fire with a cigar this Christmas time! This is Ramon Bilbao’s top wine produced only in the best years from old Tempranillo vines and aged for 18 months in new French oak, fruity, toasty and smoky a very very good red!

On the tenth day of Christmas my true love sent to me, ten lords a-leaping! 🎄👑

⭐️When it comes to royality, there’s only one grape to serve and that’s a Cabernet Sauvignon as it’s known as the king of grapes!

⭐️This delicious Xanadu Exmoor Cabernet Sauvignon from Margaret River in Western Australia is perfect to serve this Christmas. Full of black juicy fruits and supple tannins, it’s perfect to serve with a festive beef wellington!

On ninth day of Christmas my true love sent to me, nine ladies dancing! 🎄💃

⭐️If you want a easy drinking wine, that you can drink all day and night at the holiday parties, then your best match is a rose wine, such as the Studio by Miraval rose from the south of France that I have here!

⭐️This Studio Miraval rose was created as a tribute to the famous recording studio based at Chateau Miraval and it’s the perfect wine to drink and dance away the night with!

Cheers! 🥂

On the eighth day of Christmas my true love sent to me, eight maids a-milking! 🎄🥛

⭐️What Christmas treats contains milk? Christmas chocolates of course! And when paired with a Port wine, its a match made in heaven!

⭐️I have the Taylor’s First Estate Reserve Port, which is a rich and fruity style of ruby Port. The sweetness and fruitiness of the port matches up to the sweetness and all of the different flavours in the chocolates. A particular favourite of mine was the Port with the Roses golden barrel!

Cheers! 🍷

On the seventh day of Christmas my true love sent to me, seven swans a-swimming! 🎄🦢

⭐️The seven swans a-swimming verse in the twelve days of Christmas represents the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. So why not give the gift of something nice to drink this Christmas!

⭐️I recommend gifting a good bottle of Cava this Christmas, such as this bottle of the Vilarnau Gaudi Organic Brut Reserva Cava! Bubbles are the best gift and the best way to celebrate Christmas with your family and friends!

On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me, six geese a-laying! 🎄🪿

⭐️A Pinot Noir is the classic pairing for goose and game dishes this over the Christmas holidays!

⭐️The Cycles Gladiator Pinot Noir from California is the perfect match, as the the crisp acidity of the wine cuts through the fat of the goose! And the ripe fruitiness and velvety tannins will go perfectly with the more intense flavour of goose and game birds!

Cheers! 🍷

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love sent to me, four calling birds! 🎄🐦‍⬛

⭐️There’s only one type of bird that I want to eat this festive season and that is of course a turkey!

⭐️I have chosen the Castellare Chianti Classico to go with my Christmas Turkey! A red made with Sangiovese is the perfect match for Christmas turkey in my opinion! The fruitiness of the wine stands up to all the flavours of the turkey and accompanying dishes! And how cool is this label with the bird!!!!

Cheers! 🍷

On the third day of Christmas my true love sent to me, three French hens! 🎄🐓

⭐️A new world slightly oaked Chardonnay perfect for accompanying a roasted chicken this Christmas and if you are going to push the boat out then a Bresse chicken would be the best match here!

⭐️I have chosen the Journeys End V1 Chardonnay from South Africa here, as the expressive fruits and creaminess of the wine will pair perfectly with some roast chicken!

Cheers! 🥂

On the second day of Christmas my true love sent to me, two turtle doves! 🎄🕊️

⭐️Now I doubt you’ll be eating any turtle doves this Christmas, but something from another bird you might eat would be some duck and and orange pate this festive season and I’ve got the best wine to pair with this by the bird in hand 🤣 sparkling Pinot Noir from Australia!

⭐️The fruitiness of the wine matches up to the chutney and the acidity cleanses your palate from the creamy pate! A winning combination!

Incoming with the 12 wines of Christmas!! 🎄🥂🍷

On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me, a partridge in a pear tree! 🍐

⭐️And what’s the perfect pairing for a pear and goats cheese salad? A Sauvignon Blanc and for my 1st wine of Christmas it has to be a Sancerre! As goats cheese and Sancerre are an amazing combination together the natural acidity of the wine will pair perfectly with the creamy goats cheese!

⭐️I’ve chosen the Domaine Reverdy Ducoux Beau Roy Sancerre and it was delicious with some Kidderton Ash goats cheese, pear and walnut salad!

Cheers! 🥂

"Too much of anything is bad, but too much Champagne is just right." 🥂

I certainly had too much good Champagne last Friday evening at the Ordre Des Coteaux Du Champagne Gala Dinner in Manchester! I was also invested into the Ordre as a Dame Chevalier and I’m honoured to be recognised as an official Champagne ambassador!!! 🍾

We were completely spoiled with the champagnes served and starting with the drinks reception we were served all of the following en magnum!!! 🍾🍾

⭐️Nicolas Feuillatte Reserve Exclusive Brut
⭐️Barons de Rothschild Blanc de Blancs
⭐️Gardet 2012 Extra Brut
⭐️GH Martel cuvee Victoire Golden Eagle 2005
⭐️Lanson Le Black Creation 257
⭐️Laurent Perrier La Cuvee
⭐️Paul Goerg Blanc de Blancs

Then onto the actual dinner we had some very rare and old champagnes and it was such an experience to try them all! Starting with something very special….

⭐️Castelnau Brut Millesime 1990, this was served in a Jeroboam! 🤩

Everything else was just served en magnum! 🤣

⭐️Laurent Perrier Brut Millesime 2012
⭐️Lanson Le Vintage 2012
⭐️Paul Goerg Blanc de Blancs Millesime 2008
⭐️GH Martel Cuvee Victoire Rose

Such a great night and I can’t wait for the next one!

Sante! 🥂

When you know, Pinot 🍇
With the Le Versant Pays d’Oc Pinot Noir!

⭐️I love this Le Versant varietal range made by Les Vignobles Foncalieu, a winemaking co-operative of z800 growers across the Languedoc-Rousillion region of southern France. Made from a selection of best plots across the region and showing the typical varietal character of an easy drinking Pinot Noir!

⭐️The IGP Pay d’Oc really does focus on varietal wines (made from the same grape variety) and 58 grape varieties are permitted here under this classification. And I do like a Pays d’Oc quality level wine as I think they offer fantastic value for money, plus winemakers have a bit more freedom in making wines, as wine rules are a bit more relaxed compared to the AOP French wine classification!

⭐️A super fruity, light bodied Pinot Noir, with aromas of cherry, strawberry and blackcurrant with supple tannins and a smooth finish! Very good!

Cheers! 🍷

Fizzy vibes only!
With the Nicolas Feuillatte Reserve Exclusive Premier Cru Extra-Brut 🍾

⭐️This is a new cuvee from Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte and it’s an extra-brut, so bone dry style of champagne. Extra-brut styles of champagne which are up to 6g/l dosage are becoming more popular as our tastes evolve to favour drier styles of champagne! And I personally do really like this drier style!

⭐️A blend of equal parts of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier all sourced from Premier cru villages in the Cote des Blancs and Montagne de Reims, aged for at least 3 years and a % of reserve wines are added with the winemaker deciding the exact amount of reserve wines and from where each vintage. All finished off with the super low dosage of up to 6g/l.

⭐️A very dry and chalky mineral style of champagne, with notes of pear, honey and fresh lemon, intense and smooth with a subtle salty hint. This would of been perfect with some oysters, but I had to make do with some prawn tempura!

Cheers!! 🥂

Rose to the occasion!
With the Spy Valley Pinot Noir Rose! 💗

⭐️Spy Valley are based in Marlborough New Zealand and this 100% Pinot Noir rose comes from the Waihopai Valley in the Southern Valleys sub region. And this region is noted for its good Pinot Noir here as the soils tend to have more clay and it’s cooler and drier compared to other regions in Marlborough!

⭐️Spy Valley have been producing wines here since the 1990s and take their name after a international satellite communications station in the valley. I also love the fact they have some morse code on their labels! Today they are an acclaimed and super sustainable wine producer.

⭐️A crisp, dry and textured Pinot noir rose with a portion fermented in barrels. Aromas of delicate peach, cherry and strawberry. Mouth-wateringly good!

Cheers! 🥂

It’s Friday, let’s get Fizzical!! 🍾
With the V***e Clicquot Brut Yellow Label NV 🥂

⭐️V***e Clicquot with it’s iconic yellow label was founded in 1772, that’s over 250 years ago! Although this yellow label (Pantone 137 C) didn’t appear on brut bottles until 1835 and it was officially trademarked in 1877!

⭐️V***e means widow and after Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin was widowed at age 27 in 1805 she took charge of the V***e Clicquot house and became a leader in the world of champagne at that time! She is credited with making the 1st recorded vintage champagne in the region in 1810 and being one of the 1st producers to make a rose champagne with the addition of still red wine in 1818!! Today V***e Clicquot is the 2nd biggest selling Champagne globally!

⭐️The Yellow Label is V***e Clicquot’s signature house style, Pinot Noir dominant (50-55%) as all V***e Clicquot’s champagnes are. Grapes are sourced from up to 60 grand and premier crus, with 28-33% Chardonnay and 15-20% Meunier in the final blend. Of this, the house use around 30-45% reserve wines and it’s aged for 3 years in their Unesco listed Crayeres in Reims! A silky smooth champagne, it’s a brut but has 10g/l dosage giving it a velvet-like texture, full of ripe green apple aromas, with a lemon freshness and a creamy vanilla finish! Delightful!

Let me know what fizz you are drinking tonight! 🥂

Cheers! 🍾

Wine is the answer, what was the question? 🍷
With the Marcel Lapierre Morgon Beaujolais!

⭐️Beaujolais is a wine region just south of Burgundy producing predominantly red wines from the gamay grape. The region tends to produce fruity, light bodied and low tannin wines. But it’s the Beaujolais crus you really need to look out for, as they make much better quality and serious wines and this Marcel Lapierre Beaujolais from Morgon is 1 of the 10 crus!

⭐️Morgon is the 2nd largest of all the crus and the crus are all in the northern part of Beaujolais, as it’s at a slightly higher altitude and that’s where the best draining granite and schist soils are found. The Beaujolais wines from the crus will have more intense fruit notes, structure and can be aged for 5-10 years compared to a Beaujolais or Beaujolais-villages level quality wine!

⭐️Marcel Lapierre has been making Beaujolais wines on the family estate in Morgon that dates back to 1909 and Marcel was championing the natural wine movement in France for many years! All wines produced are organic and fermented naturally and without any addition of sulphur and Marcel started doing this in the 1980s! Sadly he has passed away now, but his legacy continues under the ownership of his son and daughter.

⭐️A absolutely outstanding Beaujolais cru from Morgon. Handpicked organic Gamay grapes from 70 year old vines are fermented using both semi carbonic maceration and traditional fermentation, aged for 9 months on oak and unfiltered! Intense red cherry and raspberry aromas with notes of violet and liquorice on the finish!

⭐️What’s your favourite Beaujolais cru?

Cheers! 🍷🍷

Sancerre Sippin
With the Domaine Fouassier Les Grand Champs Sancerre! 💛

⭐️Sancerre is the benchmark for Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire region in France! Situated in the central Loire on the river what makes Sauvignon Blanc shine here is the climate and more importantly the soils! The region has long growing days compared to say Marlborough New Zealand, that is also famous for Sauvignon Blanc and combined with the cooler temperatures this makes a more restrained final style of wine! There are 3 main types of soils in Sancerre:

⭐️Caillottes - shallow soils over limestone, wines produced here tend to be for earlier drinking

⭐️Terre Blanches - limestone and marl soils containing fossilised oyster shells, the same soils as Chablis! and wines produced here are more structured and need ageing

⭐️Silex - flinty soils and wines produced on these soils tend to have a stony or smoky aroma

⭐️The Les Grands Champs Sancerre is grown on limestone and Marl, so Terre Blanches soils! And that’s what Domaine Fouassier do is to vinifiy different plots of separately to express the specific terroirs of the different soils! They have been doing this since the 1980s on the family owned estate, one of the oldest in the Loire valley established in 1749! Today they farm organically and biodynamically!

⭐️Les grand champs Sancerre comes from 30-45 Sauvignon Blanc vines, with indigenous yeast fermentation and one year lees ageing in stainless steel. A bright Sancerre with vivid lemon lemon and buttery pastry notes, crisp and refreshing with cut grass and gooseberry aromas, a fantastic Sancerre!

Cheers!! 🥂

Chardon-hey!
With the Charles Smith Eve Chardonnay from Washington State 🇺🇸

⭐️Washington state is on the Pacific Northwest coast of the USA, but did you know that’s it’s the 2nd largest wine producing state in the US after California? Today there are over 1000 wineries and growing at an average of 4 new wineries registered per month! With over 90% of these being smaller independent wineries!

⭐️What make Washington so great for growing grapes is the climate. The state shares the same latitude with other top regions in Europe such as Burgundy and this northern latitude means that the state can see up-to 17 hours of sunlight in the growing season! Most of the vineyards are located in the eastern side of the state as the Cascade mountains provide a rain shadow from the wet pacific weather, resulting in warmer and drier conditions perfect for growing grapes!

⭐️Chardonnay is now the top planted white variety in the state and this Charles Smith Eve Chardonnay is a perfect example. Fresh and clean with pear, apple, white peach and lemon curd aromas with a dry and crisp finish! Beautiful!

Cheers! 🥂

Old vines and great wines
With the Domaine Lafage Centenaire IGP Cotes Catalanes 🍇

⭐️The Lafage Centenaire takes its name from the centenary vines overlooking the sea in Canet en Roussillon, in the south of France, near the Spanish border. It’s a blend of 80% Grenache Blanc and Gris and 20% Roussanne from vines that are over 100 years old!!!! The vines were 1st planted in 1900 with some additional plantings in 1908!

⭐️Domaine Lafage have been growing grapes in the Roussillon region of France for over 200 years! They used to grow grapes for the local cooperative under current owner Jean-Marc Lafage took over the business in the 90s and started making wines under their own labels from 138 hectares across number of terroirs in Roussillon! They have also been the 1st producer in France to start harvest this year on the 2nd August!!!!

⭐️This Grenache / Roussanne blend is hand harvested in two lots with 30% fermented in new French oak with weekly batonnage and 70% fermented in stainless steel with 4 months lees ageing! A beautifully intense wine with fresh citrus, fleshy white peach, pear and floral aromas and with a subtle hint of vanilla and a mineral note on the long finish. This is one of the best Grenache Blanc wines ever and made from old vines!

⭐️So what makes old vines special? As vines age, they tend to produce less fruit and thus lower yields, but the grapes grown tend to give more concentrated wines. Old vines root systems are more deeply established, thus allowing the vine to draw on nutrients and water deep below the surface making them more drought tolerant which is important in warmer climates such as here in the south of France! If you want to know more about old vines, over 35 years and where they are planted globally then check out the Old Vine Registry a comprehensive data base with details on old vines!

⭐️Let me know if you’ve had any old vine wines?

Cheers! 🥂

Bonjour from Bordeaux!!! 🍷🍷

I had a epic time on my trip to Bordeaux the other week with Bordeaux Wines! With lots of winery visits, wine tasting and eating a lot of food! We went across the region, from the Medoc to Entre-Deux-Mers, Saint-Emilion, Graves and Sauternes! We tasted a lot of red wines!!! and my teeth were black after the 1st day, but we tried the regions whites, roses, sparkling and sweet wines also! We visited a number of producers ranging from 2nd classed growth chateau’s in the medoc down to small family run estates, it was great to see a range of different types and sizes of wineries across the region!

Climate change is obviously an challenge and it was fascinating to learn about the different approaches to tackling climate change. Currently Merlot plantings are 66% across the whole of the Bordeaux region, Merlot is an early ripening variety and this is causing a few challenges with the changing climate. The time between technical ripening and phenolic ripening for Merlot is now around 10-15 days, it used to be 5 days and this is causing higher sugar levels, lower acidity and ultimately higher alcohol levels. To combat this producers are looking at different rootstocks and canopy management. But the general trend seems to be planting and using more Cabernet Franc in a Bordeaux blend as this is later ripening variety.

Like lots of other regions in France, new varieties have been permitted within Bordeaux in 2020, still at an experimental stage, but one day might find the following varieties in your Bordeaux red and white wines! Red: Arinarnoa (Tannat x Cabernet), Castets (rare grape from SW France), Marselan (Cabernet x Grenache) and Touriga Nacional! White: Alvarinho and Lilorila (Baroque x Chardonnay). I find it really interesting that 2 Portuguese varieties have been permitted!

I’d like to thank CUBE Communications and Bordeaux Wines UK for letting me come on this educational trip! I’ve certainly learned a lot! Bordeaux is a lovely city to visit and id definitely recommended it! And a massive thank you to all the producers who we visited for taking time out to show us your lovely wines and for all of the fantastic food that we had!

Cheers! 🍷

Hope you are all having a great Saturday!! Here’s an orange wine I’m drinking tonight and it’s from Ancre Hill in Monmouthshire in Wales!!!!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🧡 I’ve had a few questions about orange wine. And it’s made using white skinned grapes that are fermented with their skins on, in the same way as we make red wine! 🧡The grapes can then ferment for anything from a few days to over a year! 🧡The final wines are orange or amber coloured due to the skin contact during fermentation! 🧡Generally orange wines are made with minimal intervention and it’s common that they are fermented with ambient yeasts, no temperature control and no added sulphur! 🧡Orange wines aren’t new and it’s one of the oldest wine making styles in the world dating back to at least 5000 BC in Georgia! 🧡These days many countries are now again making orange wines from Italy, the UK, New Zealand and Uruguay! 🧡This orange wine is from Ancre Hill in South Wales! And it’s organic and biodynamic, meaning that a total holistic approach is taken along with farming to the lunar cycles 🙌 🧡It’s Albariño 70% with Chardonnay 30% from the 2020 newly released vintage, natural MLF, no filtration, no fining and no added sulphur! As natural as you can get! 🧡A dry and bold wine with, cox apple, dried apricot, honeyed peach, candied fruit, dried orange rind, and a slight nuttiness with some tannins and a sour aftertaste a bit like a still cider! Beautiful! From Ancre Hill Cellar Door or online @ £29.95 a bottle! Let me know if you have tried an orange wine? 🍊 #stephanieswinesociety #orangewine #welshwine #organicwine #biodynamicwine #ancrehill #wineoftheday #winereel #winetime #saturdaysparkle #winetasting #winetime #winereview #winerecommendation #winelovers #winelife #teachme #instawine #winesofinstagram #wineingtheworldinstyle Ancre Hill Estates Drink Welsh Riedel - The Wine Glass Company Bakermat Wines of Great Britain
