What’s in our glasses? We enjoyed some fine wine lately, and subsequently posted about these great bottles on social media. However, in case you missed our posts, you can catch up here. In addition, we would love it if you would follow Write for Wine on Instagram and Facebook.

Read on to find out what’s been in our glasses!

What’s in Our Glasses Lately?

In the last few months, our wine picks comprised of stellar sparklers, whites and reds from Washington state, British Columbia, South Africa and New Zealand. Specifically, the sparklers are from BC and WA, while the whites also include bottles from South Africa and New Zealand. Meanwhile, all reds are Syrah or Syrah blends from WA. Some of these were wallet-friendly, while others were for special occasions. Above all, we embraced every single pour.

Here are the excellent wines that we sipped (listed in alphabetical order).
