Valentine’s Day wines are not just rosé!

February 13, 2018

Until 2011, I used to be a Valentine’s Grinch: Why don’t people celebrate their love everyday? Why do we need the shops to be filled with hundreds of cringy red heart-shaped balloons and chocolates? What happened to the REAL romance? Back then, I lived in Germany with the most brilliant bunch of wine ladies and … More Valentine’s Day wines are not just rosé!

Fill your wintery Sunday with sun-kissed Mediterranean wines tonight by joining me at my new YouTube video *link in bio* where I’m sharing my Winter feel good tips and trying two fabulous wines: Emphasis Assyrtiko from @ktimapavlidis in Drama, Greece and @domainesott Château Romassan Rosé from Provence in southeastern France! 🥂 Which is the wine that fills you with sunshine every time you drink it? 🌞 🌞 🌞 #wine #winelover #wines #winelovers #wineoclock #winetime #winenight #summerwine #springwine #Winecountry #France #Greece #frenchwine #greekwine #drinkgreekwine #frenchrose #roseallday #pinkwine #Assyrtiko #whitewine #thinkpink #flowercrown #vin #vinrosé #wein #вино #κρασί #domainesott #chateauromassan
My idea of Friday dancing! 💃 🍷How many times have you picked up a bottle because of its pretty label? I get attracted to all sorts of pretty things so a beautiful wine label really is my weak spot! 📝 This lovely blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot comes from Northern Greece in Drama and is made by @nicolazaridiwinery . It offers amazing pleasure with rich red and black fruit, appetizing spicy and toasty notes for a very affordable price (~15€). Fantastic value especially when you can lay it down for a couple of years and you can easily match it with so many staple winter dishes like shepherd’s pie, grilled sausages, stews, game and hard yellow cheeses. 🍷 🍷 🍷 #wine #wines #winelover #winelovers #redwine #winelabel #winecountry #Greekwine #wineoclock #wineblogger #winetasting #winenight #wineglass #winery #redredwine #CabernetSauvignon #Merlot #fridaydance #wineblogger #winevlogger #wein #vin #vinho #вино #κρασί #winestagram #instawine #effidrinksgreekwine
In my next video, I am dancing cheek to cheek with the iconic @domainesott Château Romassan bottle and wearing a flower crown in the middle of freezing winter because... wine not? I am also sharing my “How to get rid of winter blues” tips and tasting one more Spring/Summer reminiscent wine 👒 Which one you’d think I went for? 👙 🥽 🌞 #wine #winelover #wines #winelovers #Springwine #Summerwine #DomainesOtt #Provencalwine #rosewine #rosé #yeswayrose #pinkwine #thinkpink #Frenchwine #provence #provencerose #whenitshotdomainesott #winecountry #wineblogger #winevlogger #wineoclock #roseoclock #youtube #winery #wein #vin #vinho #κρασί #вино

🎶 Wine makes the world go 'round The clinking, clanking sound of...🥂🍷🍷🎵 Before catching the oenophile bug, I was terrible at geography much to my father’s disappointment..but now things have changed immensely. Every time we gather around the family table I never cease to surprise my dad with the names of the rivers going through this region and the other, altitudes, proximity to the sea and random geography knowledge I have been accumulating over the last 10 years! It’s hugely inspiring to learn about new regions and realise once again how tightly interconnected we all are and how wine is bringing people together. 🇿🇦 Rubicon is the name of the river that Ceasar and his army crossed to march on Rome. He is said to have said “alea iacta est”, the die is cast. We still use the phrase “crossing the Rubicon”, when you pass the point of no return. And that’s exactly what Nico Myburgh and Giorgio Dalla Cia when they crafted the first blend of South African wine in the early 1980s. Until then, the country had been focusing on lower price, varietal wines until Rubicon came along to place South Africa on the fine wine map with collectors all over the world looking for the top vintages and a dedicated fan club enjoying this delicious Bordeaux blend year in and year out. 🔹2015 was one of the best vintages in the last 20 years, so go and seek this gem out! You won’t be disappointed! • #wine #winelover #wines #winelovers #wineoclock #winetasting #winenight #wineglass #globe #library #booksandwine #southafrica #winecountry #southafricanwine #Meerlust MeerlustEstate #Meerlustwine #meerlustrubicon #Rubicon #wineblogger #winevlogger #ukwinehourlive #ukwinehour
