I run on wine. (And @brooksrunning ). . . . @faillawines Sonoma coast #PinotNoir is incredibly elegant and smooth. It offers juicy notes of blackberry, cherry and pomegranate, balanced by sweet baking spices. There is a touch of tobacco and a delicate acidity on the long finish. . . . #bornthirsty #everyglass #wine #winetime #winenot #instawine #drinkstagram #winereview #winetasting #winedown #🍷 #wineoclock #fortheloveofwine #cheers #winewednesday #postrunwine #willrunforwine #brooksrunning

WineWalks™️ are especially acceptable when you’re wine comes in a can. . . @unionwinecompany is already one of my favorite every day wines, but the fact that they 1-offer cans, and 2- have wine cocktails just makes them top the charts. This strawberry cooler is exactly as it sounds: refreshing and juicy-fruity without lacking in real wine flavors or being too sweet. There’s a touch of effervescence and a hint of citrus making this a perfect can for a stroll. . . . . #bornthirsty #everyglass #wine #winetime #winenot #instawine #drinkstagram #winereview #winetasting #winedown #🍷 #wineoclock #fortheloveofwine #cheers #cannedwine #pinkiesdown #winecocktails #brix #brixwinedog #dogsofinstagram #dogsofwine #dogsandwine #winedog #whiskersandwine

I sent Jeff out to get a bottle of @marchesiantinori ‘s Toscana. I did not specify that I meant the red, so I shouldn’t be surprised that he came home with the white. But I’m not upset about it. . . . This Tuscan white is a perfect wine to transition into the warmer weather. It offers elegant notes of white flowers, tropical fruits and banana. The palate is soft with a crisp acidity and lingering notes of pineapple and dried herbs. . . . #bornthirsty #everyglass #wine #winetime #winenot #instawine #drinkstagram #winereview #winetasting #winedown #🍷 #wineoclock #fortheloveofwine #cheers #winewednesday #tuscany #tuscanwine #tuscanwhitewine #whitewine #italianwine #marchesiantinori #everyhourishappyhour #happyhour #springwine

There’s no better place to fall in love with Mother Earth than in Hawai’i, and no better visual of her power than the ocean. These photos were taken days apart, in the same spot. The sands at La’aloa are washed away by the winter storms, and returned just as quickly. It’s my favorite spot for both sunrise and sunset, and this island taught me how to truly respect our home. . . . #earthday #mothernature #beach #ocean #magicsands #kailuakona

A hint of sunshine and we’re breaking out the whites. Stephen and Walker’s Russian River #SauvignonBlanc is a soft white with a bright minerality and notes of white peach, lemon and pineapple. Crisp citrus fruit flavors are balanced by notes of melon and fog on the long, smooth finish. . . . . #bornthirsty #everyglass #wine #winetime #winenot #instawine #drinkstagram #winereview #winetasting #winedown #🍷 #wineoclock #fortheloveofwine #cheers #winewednesday #russianriverwine
