KI NO BI Japanese Gin Cocktail Flight at @fitzgeralds_dc A Cherry Blossom celebration of artisanal Japanese Gins. The Kyoto Distillery is the first in Japan to be solely dedicated to making artisanal Gin. KI NO BI Gin is made using 11 botanicals sourced in its majority from the Kyoto Prefecture were the distillery is located. Another unique regional ingredient only available in Kyoto is found in its underground water source. Fushimi Spring water is renowned for its purity, softness, and mellow flavor. KI NO BI and KI NO BI TEA, the first two gins in the flight, were both elegantly smooth with classic juniper and citrus aromatics and flavors. The flagship KI NO BI is slightly fresher in its aromatics and more Yuzu forward in the palate. KI NO BI TEA delivers the similar freshness and citrusy quality, adding a layer of savory-fruity sweetness to its flavor profile. The third glass on the flight, KI NO BI Edition G, a rare and delicious treat. Edition G was aged in oak barriques sourced from the Argonne forests in Northeastern France near the Belgium border. The barrels had been previously used to mature Henri Giraud quality Champagnes in Marne, Champagne. Only 1,700 bottles of KI NO BI Edition G gin were produced to be distributed in 20 markets worldwide. A truly unique sensorial experience.

What wine will you be drinking this summer?

Save Water. Drink Wine.

“Some experts estimate the number [of Italian grape varieties to be] as high as 2,000,” says Maurizio Broggi, the education director of the Wine Scholar Guild’s Italian Wine Scholar program. “The Italian National Registry of Grapes currently lists 545 [varieties]. If we consider only native wine grapes and exclude synonyms, the number is likely to be somewhere between 350 and 600, which is still far more than France, Spain, or Greece.”

I often get asked what my favorite wine is. I typically avoid answering that question…. Mostly because, the truth is, I don’t have a favorite ONE WINE. Generally, I prefer wines that taste like where they come from, wines that come with an interesting story, and wines that have a special significance. Context is key. This 2019 Dato’s Wine Korbidzeebis Family Cellar, Chkhaveri Rosé Guria, a surprise gift from a new friend, ticks all the boxes… (Thank you for the surprise gift Nicole! Loved it! ) 🙏 ❤️ 🍷 Kobidzeebis Family Cellar produces expressive natural wines using traditional Georgian qvevri with grapes from his family vineyard located in the Guria region in western Georgia, near the Black Sea. The late-ripening, pinkish-violet variety Chkhaveri originally was a “maghlari” wine, a vine trained to grow up trees, in order to combat high humidity. This wine is dark rosé in color; light and fresh in texture and flavors; full of wild berry aromas and flavors in the nose and in the palate, nice acidity with just a hint of underlying funky tartness. Delightful, easy to drink, with a long pleasant finish. Definitely recommend it! #winesfromgeorgia #lowintervention #chkhaveri #maghlari #oinoslogo #rosewine #datoswine #grateful #thankyou (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CopXYQ9rnSb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bringing a bit of sunny California and warm Eastern Mediterranean flavors and sounds to a chilly, early afternoon in the city. Misirlou, the wine, is a flavorful, uncomplicated California Sauvignon Blanc with citrusy, savory notes and a touch of bright green apple pie and baking spices. Yum! Misirlou, the Arab folk song, was popular from the 1920s onwards in the Arab American, Armenian American and Greek American communities who settled in the United States. Yes, I’m dancing to the music! 😉 Visit the link in bio to ship this and other delicious wines brought by Wine Insiders directly to your home at very palatable prices. #wineinsiders #oinoslogo #sauvignonblanc #winestagram #winesofcalifornia #misirlou #linkinbio #ad (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnuUxDaLFRh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
