In celebration of #internationalwomensday & #MarylandWineMonth , I'm sipping MD's 1st #Tempranillo made by @lisahintonn of @oldwestminsterwinery "​Lisa is one of the mid-Atlantic’s most talented winemakers. She is the recipient of numerous awards for her contributions to the wine industry, including ��best in class” awards at the Governor’s Cup and being named one of the Baltimore Business Journal’s 40 under 40.  A chemist by education, Lisa has extensive experience at prestigious wineries on both the east and west coasts. Additionally Lisa consults and makes wine for many respected wine producers in Maryland. Lisa believes Maryland to be ripe with opportunity to craft world-class wines. Viticulture has been here since 1648. She is captivated by the responsibility to carry that legacy on in a way that redeems many misgivings about Maryland wine. Lisa is crafting some of the best wines Maryland has to offer; wines that are not only a pleasure to drink, but that also reflect the region’s unique geologies and climate. Her approach is not the easy way, but she knows that a bottle of wine reflects its maker’s passion." https://www.instagram.com/p/B9fPchEBa_D/?igshid=dq0xegseqapc

Celebrating today! My baby birb, Samwise, has hatched! Pulling out my last bottle from my visit a few years ago from @oldwestminsterwinery: the 2017 Petillant Naturel Pinot Gris from Libertas Vineyard. I'm honestly not sure why I've been aging this bottle, but bubbles are *always* good for celebration. (I would have also grabbed a cigar, but it's a bit chilly and windy out today for that.) Sure, The label has been a bit battered from cellar time, two moves and time... but... well.. So many people say that Pet-Nats don't age well, but.. i personally feel that's untrue when it comes to the genre as a whole, and this one has aged beautifully. Yeah, it's a cloudy pale gold. It's a pet nat. Duh. Of course it's gonna be just slightly cloudy. That doesn't mean there's no sun behind the clouds [expletive deleted]. On the nose, perhaps, this wine is showing it's age with flint, minerals, yeast, and really high-end kettle-baked potato chips, intermingling with apricot, pears, and fresh grass, but the palate... the palate is where this wine shines. It is bright and vibrant, with little bubbles tickling acidity on the tongue, bringing forth bursts of apple, pear, and apricot, which intermingle with seasalt, lemon peel, and flint. The finish is short, but bright like fireworks, or lightning at night. This wine is lovely. Bright, smiling, adorable, cute as a button. The 2017 Pinot Gris pet-nat is a bubbly adorable blonde that gives wonderful hugs and always has the cutest, most heartwarming meme to show you. She's precious. #petnat #petillantnaturel #oldwestminsterwinery #bubbles #celebrate #whitewine #wine #sparklingwine #pinotgris #pinotgrigio #wineinthetimeofcoronavirus #winereflection #winereviews #marylandwine #drinklocal #🍾 #libertasvineyard #oldwestminster #cheers #cheersofinstagram #winesofamerica #winesofinstagram #instawine #naturalwine https://www.instagram.com/p/B--rQC-nZdg/?igshid=1gji2th2ikcwn

Thoughts on the Home Vineyard 2017 Cabernet Franc from @oldwestminsterwinery: This wine is a rich garnet red in the glass, like a lover's lips. Unfiltered, dark, and a little broody. Also, the label is quite simple and elegant, which is appealing. When I first opened this wine, I was pleasantly surprised by the rich cherry and plum aromas intermingling with savory fennel, graphite, and cigar wrapper, with hints of vanilla, lavender, and baking spice. Lots of solid, robust tannins here! Overtime, this wine has opened dramatically, with tannins fading into the background. New characters have come out to play: cacao, mint, coffee, and strawberry have all join in the orchestra. It cannot be said to be anything other than savory and enjoyable. The scene in my head when I sip this wine is that you're eating a delicious homemade fruit pie while smoking a Maduro cigar on a springtime afternoon, on a lunch date with a cute girl. Anyone fond of Chinon should get a hold of this bottle! Also of note; the winemaker for this wine is self-taught, which I think is really cool. #winesofinstagram #winestudio #cabernetfranc #redwine #winereview #wineblog #wine #vintagesofinstagram #marylandwine #naturalwine #biodynamic #cabernet #drinkmd #oldwestminsterwinery #mdwine https://www.instagram.com/p/Byl3wMeHiMB/?igshid=1q2yoeftrk9re

My first #winestudio event here in my new place in Bisbee. We're doing wines from @oldwestminsterwinery, and I happen to have a bottle of the Rosé Rarity No. 3 that I'm cracking open for the occasion. The nose is incredibly earthy: graphite, clay, and fennel, intermingling with dried strawberries, white cherry, rosehill, and just a touch of allspice. On the palate, the Rosé Rarity No. 3 is filled with cherry, watermelon, sage, fennel, and flinty character. It is decidedly rich and savory, and there's even some tannins lurking there. For some reason, my mind is flashing back to a Passover Seder in late Moorish Spain. The rich scent of lamb combines with fruit and bitter herbs. We wait for Elijah to come back as the candles burn down to the tallow. #wine #rosé #rosébeforebrosé #marylandwine #naturalwine #30secondwinereviews (at Bisbee, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByT12fYH70M/?igshid=k723vbag7366
