By popular demand and for betterment of your bunker, I am doing a FREE, fun, and unbiased virtual wine tasting: “Killer, Under-$20 Wine” (plus Q&A)”. This will kick off my “Wine for Your Bunker LIVE” Series. The tasting is Wednesday, May 6th at 8pm ET/5PM PT.

So bring your own bottle, OR taste along with the exact wines that I will be presenting (though this is not a prerequisite).

The virtual wine tasting’s three wines are listed below and available for purchase at Wine.com.

Wine 1: Veuve Ambal Brut NV ($19.99)
https://www.wine.com/list/wine/veuve-ambal/7155-114213
(or, if sold out, Ferrari Brut NV ($20ish)
 
Shipping from Wine.com typically takes 1-2 days, though some destinations will be longer. There are date-specific delivery options for your shipment on the final page of checkout.
 
We expect this virtual wine tasting to fill up fast 🐇. Please register while seats last.
 
And speaking of the Ferrari Winery mentioned above, you might want to check out this video I did with Ferrari’s top-of-the-line wine and Champagne coupes that Kate Moss had molded on her left breast (for real). Fancier and better made than Prosecco, they and other Trento DOC wines are a fabulous value at all price points. You can often taste an alpine freshness in these Italian bubblies – which fits wine that comes from the Dolomites — that is, the Italian Alps.

Corona loss of smell is not something to be neglected. Loss of sense of smell 👃🏻 could be a symptom of the virus. To test your schnoz, swirl and sniff an uncommonly aromatic wine, such as one from the grape Viognier. Featured wine: generous, crisp, tropical, apricot-tinged Domaine Guigal Condrieu 2017 (Rhone Valley, France).
