I don’t know much but I do believe everything works out for a reason. ✨ #tbt to my first harvest and every one who’s helped me get where I am today.

Two weeks till France, not that we’re counting or anything! ✨ If anyone has recommendations for Paris or Bordeaux let me know! We don’t have much free time but you can bet we’ll be using every minute.

Roses are red, violets are blue.

Look out world, another DeYoung on the loose.

Do you believe in food and wine pairings? ✨ Personally, while I’m aware that different wines affect one’s perception of food in different ways, I don’t let it define my choice. I drink mostly before and after the meal anyway, so generally speaking will just go with what I’m craving! ✨ There are exceptions of course, but unless you’re consistently sipping between bites my advice is don’t stress about it. Just sit back and enjoy!

Had a lot of fun last week at the Sonoma County Barrel Auction! Every lot being sold was one-of-a-kind, and every sale goes back to the county to support the region’s marketing initiatives! ✨ Our wine buyer picked out a few special wines for @btlbarn too, so stay tuned for those releases! 🤗

Cheers to the weekend, go live your dream.

When you get into the wine industry, sometimes there’s a little ~judgement~ when it comes to the big names. ✨ Admittedly I didn’t know much about Ridge before visiting their Monte Bello property in March, so the more I learned (and tasted), the more I was blown away! ✨ Grapes have been on that site since the late 1800s, and it was actually four Stanford Research Institute engineers who made a 1/4 barrel of estate Cabernet and realized the land they had bought to build homes on was something special! ✨ From the beginning, their team has maintained a very hands-off approach to winemaking, only intervening where necessary and letting nature do the rest. ✨ If you ever have the chance to make it to the Monte Bello vineyard, take it! It’s a stunning part of California’s wine history and totally worth the drive.

My weekend job > yours ✨ I love working at Silver Oak Oakville, but want to take a second to celebrate our Alexander Valley location! ✨ Beyond being Leed Platinum and going for the Living Building Challenge, the winery is implementing some of the latest technologies to be net zero water, power, and carbon capturing as soon as the technology becomes available. ✨ Sustainability in the fields is a top priority, but we can’t forget about how the facilities we work in also impact the environment!
