Bred out of a Brooklyn basement in 2014, YG's Wine Picks is a site that offers articles that transform you into a wine professional, or at least makes your friends believe you are. We have spent countless years traveling around the world to bring you the best knowledge and stories about wine, its regions and the people behind the bottle.
Since many of us have dusted off the grills in honor of Independence Day Weekend, I wanted to share what I’ll be pairing with my food this Fourth of July.
Chillaxing on a rooftop is something that we all love and I’ve officially dusted off my lawn chair and left it out on the roof. While it's still "technically" rosé season, I like to mix it up and drink some light white wines. So, if you’re just having a glass of wine with Buddha (like me) or hanging on the roof with some friends, here are 3 wines that you should add to your list of rooftop sippers.
Tequila, a national liquor of Mexico, has for a long time been thought of as a drink that you have as a shot, with salt and lime (do you remember that college party… or perhaps not remember it at all?!?!) Either way, this isn’t the case anymore. Tequila is regarded as a top quality sipping drink and a great cocktail ingredient. Due to the advancement of technology and producers’ interest in making a first-class product there are now hundreds of really amazing Tequilas and Mezcals out there.
Now that we’ve gotten 3 consecutive days of 50+ degrees, it’s finally spring; or as I like to call it rosé season!! It’s the time of year when we lay out on any lawn, rooftop or park bench we can find because we’ve been deprived of the sun for so long. It’s also the time of year that we drink as much Rosé as we can because it’s light and chill (but really because Rick Ross drinks it #likeaboss).
In the spirit of Valentine's Day taking over all aspects of our lives (and our wallets) I figured I'd send out some wines that you should enjoy if you're planning on chilling with your bae or like me, just rocking out in your snuggie eating popcorn!
We’ve all had the moment when we enter a wine store, look up at the hundreds of bottles on the shelf and think…wow, I don’t even know where to begin. Well the place to start is by knowing a few terms to help you identify what you like.
Do you like white wine or red wine? Full or medium bodied wines? Oaky or Non-Oaky? Dry or Sweet? This week I’ve decided to explain some terms that are often thrown around, but not always explained. While you'll probably know some of these terms and they may seem basic, it’s always helpful to be reminded!
Hi Guys,
First off I want to wish you all a happy and safe holiday season.
As we begin to think about which meal we're going to prepare for the holidays, I thought it'd be a good idea to share with you some of my holiday wine picks under $30.
Remembering great musicians
Like many of you, I’ve spent the last evening and much of today listening to one of the most iconic artists that we’ve seen in our time. Prince Rogers Nelson was a visionary and a legend. He has truly inspired many of us through his words, his art forms, and his music.
Since I love music, and pairing wine with things, I thought I’d spend some time pairing some iconic artists with iconic wines.
