Join me, Suzi Perez, Vinmaps wine lover and cartographer, as I taste through the 2021 Mourvèdre from Dahlman Cellars Winery.

In this #winetasting video I also chat a bit about the backstory of the winery and share details about this fascinating red wine grape, called Monastrell and Mataró in its country of origin, Spain. The grapes for this wine were sourced from Columbia Valley’s Wahluke Slope AVA (American Viticultural Area) and I describe why this is a great place to grow this dark, thick-skinned grape.

2018 Kiona Vineyards Columbia Valley Estates Cuvée ~ Why We Love This Red Blend // A Wine Tasting!

Join Suzi Perez, wine lover and founder of Vinmaps, as she tastes and shares one of her red wine obsessions! The Kiona Vineyards 2018 Columbia Valley Estates Cuvée has become one of Suzi’s favorite, easy-drinking, approachable blends. It is surprising to find such a complex, well-balanced, delicious red blend at a price point that is easy on the wallet – especially from such a renowned, quality producer as Kiona.

Kiona Vineyards founder, John Williams, purchased land within the coveted Red Mountain AVA (American Viticultural Area), in 1972. Through the decades Kiona’s vineyards on Red Mountain have become sought after for their consistently high-quality fruit. Their Estates now provide source fruit for more than 60 wineries in the Pacific Northwest and the Winery and Vineyard also make some of the best wine in Washington State.

Suzi Perez, Vinmaps Founder and Wine Lover explores the 2021 Ceraso Aglianico wine from Italy’s Azienda Agricola San Salvatore 1988.

The Azienda @SanSalvatore-dm7fr is located within the bucolic yet wild, natural beauty of the Cilento National Park, within the southernmost portion of Italy’s Campania region. The winery itself is located in Giungano, near the world famous UNESCO World Heritage site of Paestum. The Cilento area or Sub-Region (sottozona) is Campania’s southernmost winegrowing area. The Azienda Agricola San Salvatore 1988 is a group project, led by Giuseppe Pagano and his son Salvatore (who was born in 1988).

The Radici Taurasi is a consistently high quality, complex and elegant red wine made from the native Aglianico grape variety (Vitis Hellenica).
During the video, Suzi explores the alluring and fascinating world of southern Italy’s Mastroberardino Winery and the historically and viticulturally rich Irpinia sub-region of Southern Italy’s Campania where the family settled, over two centuries ago.
