Breakfast time! We have really enjoyed our stay @theritzlondon. The service is over the top. The staff is so welcoming and makes you feel like you are at home away from home. From the doormen smiles, the friendly laundry personal, the elegant Italian waiters in the dining room remembering every detail of what we like, the passionate concierges helping me with every arrangement, the cleaning maids making everything sparkle…every detail shows how well managed this hotel is. But behind the beautiful palace walls it is the staff that makes the experience so memorable! We will definitely stay here again to put on the Ritz! #ritzlondon #puttingontheritz #ritz #perfection #passion #beautifulhotels #luxurylifestyle #luxurytravel #luxury #london

Revisited the 2009 Pontet tonight and this time it was silky smooth and delicious! It went particularly well with the lobster. We also enjoyed the neighbor restaurant @50cheyne. Service and food were excellent and had a great Friday night London vibe. #foodie #pontetcanet @chateaupontetcanet #bordeaux #londonrestaurant

Claude Bosi at Bibendum is by far the best meal we have experienced in London. The 2 star restaurant is located in the Michelin House with beautiful stain glass windows and vintage Michelin posters…very inviting dining area. Every dish was elegant and delicate with amazing flavors that kept surprising us. A delightful dining experience! And our 2015 Estate was the crown jewel…it paired beautifully with many of the dishes. @claudebosiatbibendum #michelinstar #michelin #chef #frenchgastronomy #foodie #food #sommelier #wine #london

The town that never sleeps and has the best private clubs. Annabel’s is a party in every room and the decor is so creative! Plus all the staff is dressed in colorful suits and the DJ’s are keeping everyone dancing even on a Tuesday night! I could party here every night! #londonvibes #clubbing

It has been almost 2 years since we have seen our great friends and master cellist @gautiercapucon. The last time was in San Francisco when Gautier came for Arvind’s birthday and then he almost didn’t make it back to France since the government was shutting everything down. Gautier made such a difference for the world during lockdown performing daily from his apartment in Paris. So finally being all together again and enjoying a great meal @lemeuriceparis was truly the highlight of our trip. As well as meeting the new addition to the musical family Sunshine. Gautier and Delphine you are so special to us and we are grateful for our friendship. #friendship #goodtimes #musician #cellist #cellistoftheworld #foodandwine #finewine #michelinstar #finedining #lemaurice #parisrestaurant #foodie #paris

You would think we would order a Cheval Blanc when eating at Cheval Blanc in Paris but Rayas wines are never easy to find so it had to be Rayas! The 2009 Pignan was fresh, silky, typical Rayas but perhaps a touch of too much alcohol at 14%. We have been feeling it next day but could have also been from cocktails beforehand at the George V. In any case, lovely meal and superb service. @chevalblancparis #chateaurayas #chateauneufdupape #winetasting #winetravel #foodie

Had a lovely dinner at Veranda restaurant at the hotel…what made it a special evening was the head sommelier Guido Rossi Monti. I will admit we don’t know a lot about Italian wines and he listened to our preferences and suggested a Nebbiolo. Modestly priced and went perfect with the light fish dishes. I observed Guido through the evening and watched him pour wine perfectly from those fancy Riedel snake decanters. He was just so polished and elegant. Almost wanted to offer him a job with us!! A fabulous sommelier will always make dinner a great experience!! Then to top it off there was a magical fireworks show on the lake which you can see from the video. Loving Lake Como and Villa d’Este! @rossimontig @villadestelakecomo #sommelier #somm #sommlife #nebbiolo #italianwine #fireworks #lakecomo

FINALLY!! We have made it to Lake Como after having to cancel our trip twice during the last 2 years. It is such a magical, beautiful place!! It has been raining most of the day so we drove to picturesque Bellagio and then took a ferry with the car to Cadenabbia. Tomorrow I am hoping to waterski on Lake Como which would be a highlight for me, of course second to staying at Villa d’Este!! An amazing property, attentive service, and a epic view of the lake. @villadestelakecomo #lakecomo #luxuryhotel #luxury #travel #italy

Enjoying the Monte Carlo Yacht Show while celebrating the 80m superyacht Artefact winning the Yacht of the Year award. It is the most highly engineered yacht built by Nobiskrug the world’s leading superyacht ship builder owned by Tennor Group. There is 60 tons of glass installed on the yacht and the attention to detail inside and out is over the top. A perfect marriage of art and science. I didn’t take photos inside for privacy reasons but you can see what a marvel the superyacht is from the exterior videos, as well as the beauty of Monte Carlo. And of course we had to bring some Reserve for the owner. Super yachts need SODHANI onboard! #monacoyachtshow #superyachts #artefactyacht #yachtlife #yachting #yachtdesign #luxury #luxurylifestyle #winelife

Our members know that the 2015 Estate is one of my favorites that requires minimal decanting. We have been enjoying it on our trip almost daily. I love the subtle spicy taste on the first sip followed by floral flavors that seduce you on the finish…a lovely wine! #winetasting #cabernetsauvignon #itsfromnapa #winemaker #thomasriversbrown #singlevineyard #finewine #redwine #67pallmall @sodhanivineyards
