• Breaking Out of the Wine Rut – Fall White Wine Edition

  

  Rut – a habit or pattern of behavior that has become dull or unproductive but is hard to change. Do you ever find yourself stuck in a rut? As humans we are creatures of habit.

• In Defense of Winter Whites

  

  There is an old adage that says you cannot wear white after Labor Day. When, where, and how this was decided is a mystery to me. I live in North Texas. You will see people, myself included, wearing white year round. In fact, if there was ever a color of winter shouldn’t it be white? […]

• Discovering Maryhill Winery

  

  I have never been to Washington State and sadly I have not had a lot of wines from Washington either. When I think Washington wines, admittedly, I think Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Riesling. Three varieties I enjoy, and have liked all that I have experienced so far from Washington. However, I was recently introduced to […]

• Pour a Glass of Summer with Rias Baixas Albariño

  

  Summer is quickly approaching. Now is the time to embrace crisp and refreshing white wines to pair with a warm summer’s day. There is no shortage of refreshing white wines to choose this time of year, but if you want a wine that embraces its home: green as far as the eye can see, salty […]

• #Food & #Wine Pairing: Gallica Albariño Meets a Vietnamese Classic

  

  October has arrived and I am done with all my September press trips. Fall is my favorite time of year. After a long, hot Texas summer I am always thrilled when the temperatures begin to fall. Plus fall brings football and hockey! By being intentional about my choices I managed to maintain my fitness level […]

• Rias Baixas: The World of Albariño

  

  I am attempting a nearly impossible task. I am going to share nine weeks of outstanding information on Rias Baixas as taught through Protocol’s #Winestudio, including 15 wines, in one article. It takes me back to an afternoon in Bordeaux in April. We drove by St. Emilion twice each day, and twice each day Mike […]
