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.

Delas Frères Les Reinages Gigondas 2007, Ac
Rhône, France$29.95
Gigondas is quickly becoming one of my favorite red wine regions. It’s not cheap, but the bang for your buck quotient is very high. It’s a great wine to drink up at the cottage because its rustic and pairs well with grilled meat. Like Beyoncé this wine is rich, robust and has legs that don’t stop. Serve with mustard crusted rack of lamb off the grill and a couple of single ladies.

Alejandro Fernandez Tinto Pesquera Crianza 2008, Do Ribera Del Duero
Ribera Del Duero, Spain$26.95
For the knowledgable wine host. They’re well read, know when they see a good bottle, and they appreciate something not well known. This is a super tasty Spanish vino from a great region. Skip the tacky wine bag and let the label and cork be wrapping enough.

Descendientes De J. Palacios Pétalos 2009, Do Bierzo
Galicia, Spain$25.00
This Spanish wine is not to be missed. Its edgy, delicate and complicated all at once. When I popped the cork, all I could hear is Freddy Mercury singing “Barcelona”. Suck this back with your favorite Queen and a chunk of Manchego cheese. Can you do the Fandago?

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.

Hecht & Bannier Côtes Du Roussillon Villages 2008, Ac
Languedoc, France$20.25
Good Call Dan! This is a classy, smooth tasting wine from Southern Rhone. Fresh off the exciting news of an upcoming Anchorman sequel, this wine is like Ron Burgundy lounging in his apartment. Its a bit of a big deal, plush like his bathrobe, and smells of leather-bound books and deep mahogany. Let this decant for an hour before you pair it with channel 4′s breaking news of the human torch being denied a bank loan. Stay classy San Diego!
