So proud of my awesome wife Mary Kirkendoll @yogaofkindness as she launched her new online yoga platform today! This has been a project long in the making and the last few weeks have been incredibly full shooting, editing, and creating new video content for her site. Please check it out and support her amazing work as she works to better the world by sharing kindness and love through yoga! In celebration, I opened one of the three wines that are eternally the most special to us. A bottle of 2003 Quintessa - @quintessawinery - from Napa Valley. We visited Quintessa in 2007 the day after we got engaged. At that unforgettable tasting, we enjoyed both the 2003 and 2004 bottling. This is a wine that is nothing short of breathtaking - even today in its 17th year. We enjoyed a bottle at our wedding as well and tonight is another celebration. This bottle is otherworldly tonight. Still youthful with amazing vanilla, smoke, leather, and tobacco notes surrounding brilliant ripe blackberries, figs, and plums. A Bordeaux blend, this wine perfectly represents Napa terroir with elegance and refinement that equal its power. Simply classic. If you need a splurge, splurge on this —- after joining Yoga Of Kindness! www.yogaofkindness.com #yogaofkindness #napavalley #quintessa #sommelier #winetasting

A spectacular 2010 Brunello from @mate_winery Wonderful balance of power and elegance. Beautiful nose with trademark cherry and currant, but laced with tobacco and leather giving it incredible fullness. Lovely spice notes on the palate and a touch of sour cherry. A truly beautiful wine!!!! So glad I opened this to@close out what has been a tough week for everyone. Wishing my mom a happy happy birthday and so sorry to not be sharing this bottle together tonight! Love you!!!!! #momsarethebest #brunello #winetasting @molesiniwineshop

It’s a strange thing to celebrate a birthday today. Today has been hard. My amazing wife has prepared and planned what I know will be an incredibly fun evening with friends, tasting wine, eating food, and playing games. Every day is a new chance to experience joy in all its different shapes and expressions. So tonight, I celebrate my birthday and my Dad. Wine is one of my avenues to joy, and as I open this incredible 1979 Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico Riserva, I also share a photo of the 1996 Domenico Clerico Barolo “Percristina” that I opened last Wednesday. Both in honor and memory of dad. thanks @eudorayogacenter ! Love you! @badia_coltibuono @baroloboysthemovie @barolomanzone @molesiniwineshop @molesiniwineclub @arnaldopanevino @chianticlassico #chianti #barolo #wine #sommelier
