2025 Tour de France. 🍷🍷 / 5🍷. Best paired with Mas Peyre IGP Côtes Catalanes '1ères Soifs'. While this year’s Tour had moments of brilliance, it was, overall, a fairly straightforward vintage. This wine, with its bright, warm fruit, won’t overpower the palate—or the memory of Tours past.

Been a @lidltrek.bsky.social fan forever and just bought first trek bike!

2025 Critérium du Dauphiné 🍷🍷 / 5🍷. Best paired with Domaine Collotte Marsannay Rosé. While not a bad addition, it was fairly underwhelming in the end. If Pog is set to be the dominant force in this year’s Tour, we might be in for another lazy summer of rosé by the pool.

Bardet forever!

2025 Giro d’Italia. 🍷🍷🍷🍷 / 5🍷. Best paired with Paolo Scavino Barolo Bric del Fiasc. This Giro gave us a worthy winner in Simon Yates and delivered twists and turns that kept us guessing right to the end. All the best Giri should be paired with a single-vineyard Barolo from Castiglione di Falletto.

We are heading to the new world for a classic but fruit-forward sparkling wine!

🍷🍷🍷🍷 / 5🍷

Just when it felt safe to pour another glass and watch the break chaos ensued. This stage required a dry white with plenty of salinity.

Perfect Spanish red to end the weekend. We might need to go with a couple glasses after that stage!

@lidltrek.bsky.social might be going deep in the cellar for this one—a nice Barolo maybe!

Very much a Tuesday Night red stage on a Tuesday.

2025 Liège Bastogne Liège. 🍷🍷 / 5🍷. Best paired with Gaia Monograph. While Ardennes Week started strong, Pog made it clear that 2025 is the Year of the Pog. For this race, we go with another simple yet delicious Assyrtiko white from Greece. We raise a final glass to the end of the Spring Classics.
May 4, 2025 at 4:18 PM
2025 Flèche Wallonne. 🍷 / 5🍷. Best paired with Lini "Labrusca" Lambrusco Emilia Bianco. As is often the case, Flèche was a bit of a damp squib—made even more so by the downpour. For this edition, we’re going with a simple but approachable Tuesday night Lambrusco.

2025 Amstel Gold. 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 / 5🍷. Best paired with Bartolo Mascarello Barolo. Undoubtedly one of the year’s best races—and you know the podium would savor more than a sip of this Langhe red. Rich with berries and licorice, it matches Skjelmose’s stunning finish.
April 22, 2025 at 6:49 PM
2025 Paris-Roubaix. 🍷🍷🍷 / 5🍷. Best paired with Franck Besson Rosé Nat Pét-Nat 2023. Hard to imagine we were just the Haveluy to Wallers sector away from true Roubaix magic. In the end, what should have been a hard-charging Saturday night red turned into a Tuesday night rosé.

2025 Tour of Flanders. 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 / 5🍷. Best paired with Elio Altare Barolo Arborina. Hard not to imagine a race that would go great with this howling breakaway of a Barolo. Imagine you're Pog on the Kwaremont, dancing away with notes of cherry, plum, leather, and truffle.

2025 Gent-Wevelgem. 🍷🍷🍷 / 5🍷. Best paired with Castellaro Ypsilon Ross. Not the most cagey of affairs, but a strong showing by Mads Pedersen and the Lidl-Trek team. For a race that might be the first bottle before we go deep in the cellar for the Ronde, Trek are looking strong to sweep Holy Week.
