A day is all it took to make me fall headfirst in love with Paso Robles, California. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿท๐Ÿ‡ ! The diversity and quality of the wines I have tasted so far are truly impressive, with each tasting offering a new delight.

๐Ÿ‡From the food to the wine, itโ€™s been such a memorable experience. A visit to Vinyl Vineyards added a unique twist to the journey - blending music and wine in a breathtaking setting.

๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธCycling thought the vineyards with Vine Cycle tours provided a refreshing perspective on the landscape - and really allowed me to connect to the place.

๐Ÿฅ‚The white wines in particular have so far stood out with their exceptional character and refreshing flavour profiles.

Paso, you continue to surprise and impress me at every turn. ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿท Canโ€™t wait to see what tomorrow brings brings. Thank you for the invitation.

Me. In the wild. Tasting some of Chileโ€™s most iconic wines. ๐Ÿท Recently, I had the privilege of diving into a tasting of the legendary wines from the Berlin Tasting lineup in Toronto with none other than Eduardo Chadwick moderated by Christopher Waters. I explored both the latest and older vintages of Seรฑa, Viรฑedo Chadwick, and KAI, most of which are now released at the SAQ and LCBO for all you fine wine lovers and collectors!

Want to hear more? Tune into โ€˜Unwined with Mandiโ€™ this Saturday on CJAD800 for my exclusive interview with Eduardo Chadwick! ๐Ÿคฉ. Whether youโ€™re a devoted collector or just wine-curious, itโ€™s an emotional and moving interview that you wonโ€™t want to miss!
