I learned to love the tasty juice through my education at George Brown College. I believe there is a perfect bottle for every occasion. I like my Italians Red, my Frenchies White, my Americanos black, and my Brazilians blonde. I believe wine goes with food, with friends, with music, and with days of the week that end in Y.
Cheers to getting your wine on.

Descendientes De J. Palacios Pétalos 2010, Do Bierzo
Galicia, Spain$25.00
Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of meeting and tasting with the artistic maker of these wines, Alvaro Palacios. His vibrant personality is contagious and his wines exude his raw passion. This wine is full of plush ripe fruit and fresh forest and it lingers in your mouth for minutes. Get some of these while you can, they will be sold out fast. A perfect wine for your favorite braised meat dish.

Bonny Doon Vineyard Le Cigare Volant 2006, California
California, Usa$39.95
The name and label of this wine honors a classic french story. In 1954 some wine producers were quite nervous about extraterrestrials. So, the council of Chateauneuf-du-Pape passed an ordinance prohibiting flying saucers or “Flying Cigars” as they called them from landing in they vineyards and damaging the vines. The law allowed for immediate impounding of any Flying Cigars (Le Cigare Volant) that dare to land on their grapes. Le Cigare is a blend of traditional Rhone grapes and it is out of this world. (cmon, I had too). Pair it with a well hung grilled ribeye from the boys at Gasparro’s.

Amazing Hallowed eve value here on this Beaucastel that is made on their neighboring vineyards that produces their famous Chateauneuf du Pape which sells for $90! Like a witch listening to some Stone Temple Pilots. This is scary good, has a wicked nose and is nice and Plush in your mouth. Where ya going for tomorrow….. and I feel it… with a rack of lamb.

C.H. Berres ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Kabinett 2008, Prädikatswein
Mosel, Germany$24.95
Kabinett is the least sweet category of Riesling. I’ll put a few of these in my cabinet for sure. Its like an unexpected sun shower on a steamy hot day. It smells like wet stone, has a refreshing taste and it’ll catch you off guard and have you wishing you didn’t wear that white tank top. Sear up some scallops and serve this cold at your next wet T-shirt contest.

Mayu Reserva Carmenère 2007, Elqui Valley, Coquimbo
Chile$14.95
All I can think of is that great but awful George Michael Gotta Have Faith video. It smells of leather jacket and dirty fruit. It’s tight like his jeans, so give it some time to breathe. But it’s catchy and smooth like his moves. Perfect with spicy BBQ ribs.

Tawse Sketches Of Niagara Riesling 2010, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$17.95
Great Riesling from one of my favorite Ontario producers. Like Phil Collins having a juice box while doing your morning yard work. This wine smells like apple juice, fresh raked leaves and it will quickly recede in your mouth like his hairline did. I can feel this coming in the air tonight with spicy sweet potato soup… oh Lord, oh Lord.

Light, fresh with a nice balanced finish. Great wine to pair with the patio. Semillon is on my radar now.
