Each week, I’ll share my tasting notes about the wine, beer and spirits the guests and I drank on set during the taping of the show. delamotte.com/en/">NV Delamotte Blanc de Blancs Champagne France, $65 When I talk about Delamotte Champagne, I always say it’s a wine that offers pure pleasure. Sure, their signature Blanc de Blancs is complex and classy, but mostly it’s just a joy to sip. The historic house dates to 1760, so they’ve had a few hundred years to get things right…and right they do. This sparkler is made from Grand Cru Chardonnay grown in the famed chalk soils of the Côte des Blancs in Champagne. Matured for years in bottle to gain creamy complexity, its tightly-wound core of minerality is draped with lemon crème lushness. Treat yourself to this treasure of pleasure. 2018 Ca' Bolani Pinot Grigio Friuli Aquileia, Italy, $15 A refreshingly crisp Pinot Grigio coming from an area between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea in Italy. This bucolic wine region is known for producing whites of purity and food-friendly zestiness. Tenuta Ca’Bolani encompasses the largest single vineyard in northeastern Italy and nearly 1,000 cypress trees surround the estate. The beauty of the place certainly translates to this wine. If you’re a lover of Pinot Grigio, it’s an affordable choice that over-delivers on quality. Layers of lemony flavor and a ping of minerality define the wine. Try with grilled fish, summer salads, fresh cheeses, or simply by sitting in the sunshine and enjoying life. 2018 Rocca di Montemassi 'Renaissance' Rosé Toscana IGT Italy, $15 Stylish packaging and an artful label with Michelangelo imagery is what catches your eye with this wine. However, the deliciously elegant pink inside is the reason to buy it. Italian Rosé is less prominent in the United States, which focuses on versions from the south of France and Spain. But, Rocca di Montemassi 'Renaissance' Rosé is an example of why you should seek out the spicy yet delicate versions from Tuscany.
