Hello! My name is Nina. I am a wine enthusiast and a student at International Sommelier Guild.
I became a wine enthusiast quite recently. I always was a foodie. And I noticed wine was always part of the meal in many countries. So I wanted to find out more! I went to ISG courses. And now I’m hooked! I love the history, I love the varieties.
I love wine. And I love how you can build your taste with wine and food.
I'm doing private parties for wine and food pairings. I want people to learn something new and have fun!
And I'm always learning!

Sassicaia 2009, Doc Bolgheri Sassicaia
Tuscany, Italy$199.95
Dark, ruby colored in the glass.
Even though this wine is still young, it’s very big, rich.
Concentrated flavors of dark fruit, leather, little bit of menthol and smoked meat.
Very complex and elegant wine, balanced tannins with long finish.

Very interesting Zin and very good.
Some would say-classic. Dark ruby color, on the nose aromas of cherries, spices, tobacco, on the palate dry with delicious flavors of dark berries, ripe cherries, leather, meat. Full bodied. Long juicy finish.

Domaine Parent Pinot Noir Bourgogne 2011, Ac
Burgundy, France$21.95
It was rather disappointing.
It’s not a bad wine but why did they put it in the vintage section?
It is good table wine, very young. Fresh berries flavours, fresh acidity. I think for this kind of wine this one is quite overpriced. I’m guessing back in Burgundy it will be 2-3 euro top.
I didn’t enjoy it and it’s made to be consumed young.
