They say an 🍎 a day keeps the doctor away, but a glass of 🍷with a bubble bath does the trick too.😉 Cheers to the weekend!🥂 Today, I’ve got two reds (Barbera and Syrah) to put on your radar. Founded by husband and wife team, Dominic and Anna O’Reilly, he makes awesome wines, she makes delicious hard apple cider. 😋 BTW, today is National Apple Cider Day so with the holidays coming up, it’s the perfect sip along with your favorite vino! @domthewineguy @annascider #nationalciderday After opening their cidery in 2017 with the goal of producing hard ciders Champagne style, the couple founded Doctor’s Orders wine in March 2020. Remember that month?! Beyond the name, their organic wines are carefully crafted employing holistic farming practices. That means no-till, dry-farm or cover crop. Hand-farming is hard work, which makes me appreciate sipping their wines knowing so much passion was poured into the bottle (pun intended!) 💜 It’s reasonably priced and overall great value (less than $40 a bottle) to enjoy as an everyday sip or fine dining. I enjoyed their Chardonnay, Syrah, but my favorite hands-down is the 2020 Barbera. Made with New World style, it’s fuller-bodied, fruit-forward and food-friendly! We paired this wine with a creamy tomato-based pasta, pizza and beef stew. 🍝 🍕 The Barbera had the right balance of acidity, minerality, spice and fruity profile (cherry, strawberry and plum) to cut through the fat. So the next time you’re looking for a Barbera with low mouth-drying tannins to pair with a comforting dish, put this on your list. After all, that’s what the Doctor ordered.😉 #doctorsorderswineco
