It’s direct pressed and fermented at low temps, lending to a light and fresh style of rosé. This is the wine for hot summer pool days. And, at $18/bottle, it’s a steal! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/f2079828-a19b-489e-a5bc-821c07f0885e/Screenshot+2023-07-07+at+10.07.25+AM.png Wine - Top 5 Rosés of 2023 - Chateau de Berne Inspiration 2022 This rosé from the Côtes de Provence AOP is a blend of Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah. The Grenache is grown on limestone soils and harvested at night. Winemaking is at low temps to preserve the wine’s freshness. I tasted this in the spring with the rest of their lineup and this one stood out with its delicate texture and notes of citrus and strawberry. And bonus - you can actually stay at the Chateau if you visit Provence! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/1237aa0f-846f-4a5c-a498-69e9368c6975/Screenshot+2023-07-10+at+9.25.33+AM.png Wine - Top 5 Rosés of 2023 - RAEN Monarch Challenge 2022 Did you know that the Monarch population has declined by 90% since the introduction of Roundup? Carlo Mondavi is raising awareness of herbicides and the detriment to our farms that filter into our entire lives. Each bottle sale goes towards organizations that help protect our planet. Coming from RAEN’s coastal vineyards in Sonoma, this Pinot Noir rosé is made even better by the addition of a block of old vine Grenache. With notes of stone fruits, white flowers, and citrus, it’s a rosé that I originally ordered for the Cause and kept going back for its quality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/5a9d38d0-905a-4167-9d1e-d3b06f84f9ef/IMG_3472.jpg Wine - Top 5 Rosés of 2023 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/e6c12541-4607-4f99-890d-d7a1905b9dc4/Screenshot+2023-07-06+at+4.16.07+PM.png Wine - Top 5 Rosés of 2023 - Chateau Miraval There is a reason this rosé continuously makes my must-have list. Its elegance and complexity for a rosé from Provence never fails. Grown at an altitude of around 1,200’ on clay and limestone soils, the blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Rolle (Vermentino), and Syrah is made by direct pressing the first three varieties and using partial saignée for the Syrah. Besides stainless steel for fermentation, they also use 5% oak barrels and stirring of the lees. What’s this do? It adds wonderful complexity and texture to the wine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/78a66ae1-55ad-4a64-a630-29dccc02a7d5/Screenshot+2023-07-07+at+3.30.15+PM.png Wine - Top 5 Rosés of 2023 - Emeritus Ruby Ruby 2022 Coming from the Russian River Valley in Sonoma, the Emeritus rosé of Pinot Noir hails from the dry-farmed Hallberg Ranch vineyard. It is made in the saignée method and aged in concrete and stainless steel for five months. I think it’s a combination of the farming practices and production methods that gives this rosé a highly complex nose that keeps giving throughout. It has a deeper hue with notes of citrus, cranberry, and crushed stones that would pair beautifully with food. Personally, I would love to have this bottle with the tuna poke bowl recipe on their website! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/9d1a14ca-31f6-43db-bd2e-ac1b33b51c5f/Screenshot+2023-07-07+at+4.25.18+PM.png Wine -

Although it is grown in other areas of France, Picpoul de Pinet in Languedoc is the region that produces the most. Notes of Green Apple, salinity, lemon, and budget friendly! Perfect with seafood like swordfish and salmon. Also cuts through heavy butter and cream sauces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/1629307451284-3ARMZUTKSQDFRW1Z45C7/Screen+Shot+2021-08-18+at+10.23.53+AM.png Wine - White Wine Crush - Vinho Verde Actually a region in Portugal known for its light and crisp whites, mostly found at bargain prices. I often see it on happy hour menus. It is typically a blend of Portuguese grape varietals, including Alvarinho. Expect an almost effervescent wine with high acid and light body with zesty citrus, blossom, and green fruit notes. Try drinking as an aperitif of with light summery dishes like fish tacos! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/1629308900385-L05N9NBJ0DXBJ5UCTH34/20C9F035-6A24-4F1B-B96B-9F7450FA3329.JPG Wine - White Wine Crush - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/1629306960492-STN6G1A2NCNOT5KXSXC9/Screen+Shot+2021-08-17+at+2.03.39+PM.png Wine - White Wine Crush - Chenin Blanc Another high acid white wine that is made in many styles, from dry to sweet. Among the most revered are the lusciously sweet botrisised wines. It is found mostly in South Africa and the Loire Valley of France. For the dry versions, expect minerality, yellow apples and pears, cantaloupe, and blossoms like honeysuckle. Perfect with avocado toast, chicken, summer salads, and grilled shrimp. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/1629306637913-8BU9OVWG67R9UTQIOX74/Screen+Shot+2021-08-18+at+10.10.30+AM.png Wine - White Wine Crush - Grüner Veltliner Grown mainly in Austria, this white varietal produces wine that is known for it’s white pepper zing, alongside citrus, high acidity and light body. Try pairing Grüner with lightly spiced foods, like Vietnamese noodle salad or summer rolls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/1629307564223-K090ICJMZKW2VA56T5PN/Screen+Shot+2021-08-18+at+10.25.58+AM.png Wine - White Wine Crush - Sauvignon Blanc Otherwise known as my porch pounder, Sauvignon Blanc is typically produced in California, New Zealand, and France. Another aromatic wine with high acid, Sauvignon Blanc is so popular that it has seen other winemaking techniques like elevage in neutral oak and concrete as opposed to just stainless steel, which adds a rounder, somewhat heavier version of the varietal. Try pairing it with summer salads, green veggies or goat cheese. https://www.caliwinegal.co/wine/grab-your-ros-colored-glasses monthly 0.5 2021-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/1623192857671-WVGS4UMGSPTJAQ18VBO5/Untitled+design-4.png Wine - Grab your Rosé Glasses! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/1623439991251-C5HV13ZAEMVDVGQE6SH9/IMG_6125.jpg Wine - Grab your Rosé Glasses! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.caliwinegal.co/wine/zd-wines monthly 0.5 2021-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/1618853168865-OS92RQIREYZDS2LIKOVK/abacus+zd+wines+caliwinegal.png Wine - ZD Wines https://www.caliwinegal.co/wine/prinsley-wines monthly 0.5 2021-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/1616707954291-M80RSD25HTU9XQRU2GI5/B8C606E4-F41C-45EC-BEC2-774716E940E7.jpg Wine - Prinsley Wines https://www.caliwinegal.co/wine/promontory-wines monthly 0.5 2021-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/1618854221049-RZO7M72FK31N0AGJDXW3/Promontory+caliwinegal.png Wine - Promontory Wines https://www.caliwinegal.co/wine/quintessa-winery monthly 0.5 2021-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/1618853969484-UF58XL7ICV4VVPPZJN92/Screen+Shot+2021-04-19+at+10.38.13+AM.png Wine - Quintessa Winery https://www.caliwinegal.co/wine/a-little-about-malbec monthly 0.5 2021-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/1618854441678-RJDFZ76TBEZ3CNJLKEHN/malbec+caliwinegal.png Wine - A little about Malbec https://www.caliwinegal.co/wine/rudd-estate monthly 0.5 2021-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/1618853593005-4T0U32F9WIQ51TVU7XNE/rudd+estate+caliwinegal.png Wine - Rudd https://www.caliwinegal.co/wine/tag/caliwinegal monthly 0.5 https://www.caliwinegal.co/wine/tag/white+wine monthly 0.5 https://www.caliwinegal.co/wine/tag/anderson+valley monthly 0.5 https://www.caliwinegal.co/wine/tag/wine+blog monthly 0.5 https://www.caliwinegal.co/wine/tag/travel monthly 0.5 https://www.caliwinegal.co/wine/tag/visit+california monthly 0.5 https://www.caliwinegal.co/wine/tag/white+wine+festival monthly 0.5 https://www.caliwinegal.co/wine/tag/wine monthly 0.5 https://www.caliwinegal.co/wine/tag/mendocino monthly 0.5 https://www.caliwinegal.co/travel-1 daily 0.75 2024-10-25 https://www.caliwinegal.co/travel-1/a-weekend-in-pasadena monthly 0.5 2022-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/7dc92998-9e2c-4f9f-96b7-fbe552ec725b/tempImageTVJtKK.jpg Travel - Pack your bags - we are Pasadena Bound! - #5 Visit the Huntington This piece of paradise is home to a library, museum, and botanical gardens. Since opening in 1928, it has served as a non-profit collections-based institute for the public and scholars alike. If you are looking to wander around, this is your place! Just the botanical gardens took us a few hours to experience. There are also casual dining options to grab a bite or a drink while exploring the expansive property. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/f4902918-7210-4f7b-8fd7-d387bec9832f/IMG_1723.JPG Travel - Pack your bags - we are Pasadena Bound! - #1. Hike Millard Falls This is a moderately easy hike in the San Gabriel Mountains, part of the Angeles National Forest. It’s located in Altadena and makes you feel like your actually in the woods while hiking…a far cry from the sun-drenched trails of Runyon Canyon in West Hollywood. It’s family and dog friendly, only around 2.5 miles in and out, and you get a waterfall view half way! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/04adac1e-b849-4679-bd74-0e5a8b179939/IMG_9048.jpg Travel - Pack your bags - we are Pasadena Bound! - #4 Walk around town Pasadena is rich with history. One of the best ways to experience it is by walking around town. With shopping, world class restaurants, and an endless list of art and entertainment events, there is something for everyone here! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/5ff75ec5-de91-455a-b363-88536cdee688/IMG_1751.jpg Travel - Pack your bags - we are Pasadena Bound! - #3 Explore the Langham Pasadena This historic 5-Star hotel exudes an old Hollywood vibe in every sense. From the grand architecture (check out the website for the full effect) to the enchanting courtyard, it’s a place I will will go back to time and time again. One of my tips - if you are unable to book a stay at this lux hotel, but like the finer things in life, have dinner and drinks at the restaurants or book a spa experience. We shared a bottle of champagne at the Tap Room, which has gorgeous views of the sprawling estate and LA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/6043326c-55fc-4fe7-bed9-b67d41b6a7dd/IMG_1996.JPG Travel - Pack your bags - we are Pasadena Bound! - #2 Check out a sporting event at the Rose Bowl or g o to a Dodgers Game I have to tell you, even as a Bay Area gal, there is something magical about going to a Dodgers Game! Maybe it’s the celebrity sightings, maybe it’s the Dodger Dogs, or maybe it’s the always perfect weather. The third oldest MLB stadium never disappoints with its unique and picturesque setting. Whatever it is, you can’t go to a game without becoming a fan! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/1dbf339b-321b-458d-80e5-9ce2f9f8b59f/IMG_2118.JPG Travel - Pack your bags - we are Pasadena Bound! - Make it stand out Enjoying a glass of rosé amongst the roses https://www.caliwinegal.co/travel-1/setting-expectations-in-2022 monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6053bdcb4af8db1bce97a834/86467385-9186-44eb-9078-70406e62062a/IMG_3613.jpg Travel - Top Tips for planning your Napa Valley Getaway Planning a getaway to Napa Valley this year?
