With a delicate cut like filet mignon, I prefer a wine that’s light and restrained in style so as not to overwhelm the dish. This German Pinot Noir from Villa Wolf fit the bill perfectly. It’s med-bodied, bright and juicy; red-fruited, earthy accents with a nice pop of fresh acidity and spice on the finish. 🍷🥩😋 #VillaWolf #PinotNoir #GermanWine #wine #winelover #foodandwine #instamood #instawine #winesofinstagram #wineenthusiast #wineconsumer #winestagram #wineblogger #wineblog #winemoments #wineeducation #wineoclock #wineporn #winewriter #winetime #winelover #winegeek #lovewine #instagood #instalike #myvinespot https://www.instagram.com/p/CLYFeN6L_EK/?igshid=1g94d2yynl7ly

Jason Stephens 2014 Santa Clara Valley Merlot: This Merlot begs for a generously marbled cut of meat or something substantive. It is robust and full-bodied, with aromas and flavors of black cherry and ripe dark skinned fruits, interwoven with notes of cacao nibs, anise, and spiced fruitcake. An edge of balancing acidity adds lift and keeps it enjoyable, while a firm backbone of grainy tannins gain on the finish. Although Merlot dominates, there are additions of 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Malbec. This is a very nice Merlot for the money (SRP $24).

@AdelaidaVineyards 2016 HMR Estate Chardonnay ($40): This is one of those Chardonnays you do not want to serve too cold […like refrigerator cold]. Cellar temperature (55°) brings out the wine’s charming personality, lovely texture, and inviting aromas [bigly!]. Grown at higher elevations in chalk-rock soils, flavors of apple tart, fresh melon, puff pastry and lemon curd are framed by subtle notes toasty brioche and sweet oak. A fine mineral-tinged acidity provides balance and lift. Put this one on your wine radar; it is a really nice example of Paso Chardonnay. #UnexpectedPaso #Chardonnay #AdelaidaCellars #wine #winelover #PasoRobles #wineconsumer #winewriter #myvinespot

Amalaya ‘15 #Torrontés #Riesling blend …Fragrances of white flowers, rose water, and mint join citrus zest and yellow apples on the palate. Mouthwatering acidity, crisp finish, and only $10 – straightforward though fun & satisfying – we enjoyed this out back with a cheese & fruit platter. Cheers! #summer #wine #winelover #winewriter #wineblogger #wineconsumer #Argentina #myvinespot

Pazo de San Mauro 2015 Albariño (SRP $18): Bright white fruits laced with floral notes and a fresh mineral edge. This is a nice summer refresher and ideal accompaniment for ceviche, Neptune salad, and more. For my friends unfamiliar with this region, I recommend you put Albariño from Rías Baixas on your wine radar this warm weather season. They are usually under $20 and wonderful.
