Filipa Pato 3B Rose Brut Nature Review – Fruity Sparkling Rose
We've been enjoying wines from Filipa Pato for quite some time now, and have had our eyes on the 3B sparkling rose brut nature as one to try. This one is quite the interesting bottle, and, for those curious, the 3B element stands for the grapes, Baga and Bical, as well as the origin- Bairrada! ... Read more

Pierre Paillard Bouzy Grand Cru Les Parcelles XXI Review
After returning home from our trip to Champagne, we, naturally, started buying more Champagne. This wasn't so much because we didn't buy a lot while there (we did), but rather that many top producers were readily available to us at home- often not for much more than we could buy them in France. So we ... Read more

February Wine Reviews: Rediscovering My Taste of Smell and Love of the Modern Bistro
Everything tastes better after a break. I took a pause from reviewing wines in January for the first time in over a year. It was much needed. While I only originally took the break to clear my head, I ended up needing sinus surgery, which basically meant I couldn’t drink wine for the entire month […]

Lindely Vingard H..Vid 2023 Review – Crisp Danish White
During our trip to Denmark, we knew we had to pick up some Danish wines to bring home. Now, you may be thinking, isn't that quite far north for wine production? The answer is yes, Denmark very much is in the extreme in terms of climate, especially as far as grapes are concerned. But recently, ... Read more

Rodaro Schioppettino Romain 2016 Review – Dried Fruit Notes
When out at a local wine shop, we stumbled upon a bottle of Rodaro's Schioppettino and, given that it was a new grape for us, we naturally scooped it up right away. But as this one is made with grapes that were allowed to raisinate, and clocked in at a robust 15% ABV, we never ... Read more

Campanilismo in the Glass: Touring Central Italy for Cristaldi & Co.
A quick note to let you know that my inaugural piece for Cristaldi & Co. is now live, focusing on four producers that I visited in Central Italy (via media tour) in the Fall of 2025. It was a fantastic jaunt, with great food and even better people. And the wines were pretty wonderful, too! […] Source

Fifty years is a long time in Napa Valley. Long enough to watch vineyards change hands, styles rise and fall, and reputations come and go.

It’s a moment that feels like a… The post Duckhorn Vineyards Celebrates 50 Years appeared first on Haute Living San Francisco .

December Wine Reviews: A Tour de France to Wrap a Wild Year of Wine Reviewing
Notes on the Rhône, Beaujolais, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne, the Loire – and beyond. When I started this little wine-reviewing experiment in January, I really had no idea where it would take me. Now, wrapping the last one of the year, I admittedly have mixed feelings. Some months, I was so short on time that I […]

November Wine Reviews: From Bordeaux Blanc to Beautiful Beaujolais
A small but mighty round-up and the launch of my limited-edition wine club. Every year, I get to November and lose it just a little bit. It feels like everything goes a tiny bit wrong – I accidentally post Carousels with typos, I wake up feeling a little off, my stomach can’t cope with the […]

October Wine Reviews: A Stellar Sancerre Met By Equally Excellent Loire Valley Neighbors
The month the Loire Valley took center stage on my palate – even as Champagne took over NYC. “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers,” wrote L.M. Montgomery in Anne of Green Gables. And really, with fall foliage, pumpkin patches, and apple picking, I agree. But the reality is that […]

When Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild sealed their partnership with a handshake in 1978, they weren’t just making a deal; they were composing a duet.

Together, they set out to create a wine that transcended geography and… The post Opus One: Heritage and Innovation in Harmony appeared first on Haute Living San Francisco .

September Wine Reviews: From the Dazzling Côte d’Azur to the Chaos of La Rentrée
The final sips of summer 2025. The term “la rentrée” was initially created to refer to that time of year when the kids go back to school. In France, this is usually early-mid September, depending on the calendar. But in the last couple of decades, its meaning has widened to include anyone returning to work, […]

August Wine Reviews: The Best Chablis for Lobster Rolls and A Last-Minute Escape to Provence
The summer I turned French – by taking almost the entire month of August off (albeit accidentally). Maine’s been on my bucket list since the second I moved to New York City in 2017. My husband and I dreamed about a road trip to the northeast’s only National Park, Acadia, from the moment we met. […]

July Wine Reviews: A Delightful Vouvray and Renewed Love for Cru Beaujolais
If we can’t have another trip to Bordeaux, at least we have wine. Oh, July. Sticky, sweltering, bipolar July. The weather in New York City couldn’t make up its mind. One day, it was a hundred degrees and 95% humidity followed by torrential rainstorms that paralyzed the region. The next? A beautiful summer day with […]

June Wine Reviews: Magic in Bordeaux and 2 Captivating Champagnes
As it turns out, Bordeaux is home to some of my favorite wines. A week before leaving for France, I had a mental breakdown. I felt like a total imposter. I could feel parts of my French language skills slipping away, I felt alone and uninspired, I was going through a phase of burnout, and […]
