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.

Valle Reale Montepulciano D'abruzzo 2007, Doc
Abruzzo, Italy$21.95
The region of Montepulciano D'abruzzo lies due east of Rome where the main grape is Montepulciano. Not to be confused with the Tuscan region Vino Nobile di Montepulciano which is a wine made with Sangiovese grape. Hey is that Jude eating a Lindt bar at Cinnabon? It smells like sweet cinnamon and dark chocolate and glass after glass it gets better, better, better. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders and let this under your skin with a pepperoni and bacon pizza.

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.

Château L'argentier Vieilles Vignes De Carignan 2007, Vin De Pays Du Gard
Languedoc, France$19.95
Stinky wine lovers rejoice. This wine from 72 year old vines has a deep, dark look. Its like waiting in line to buy something on seniors day at Shoppers Drug Mart. It smells like a mothy corduroy jacket, 6 month-old coupons, a fresh perm, and a whack of minty Polident. Have your Grandparents over and pair this with a meaty flank steak. At $20 a bottle, its a real blue haired special.

Domaine De Bila Haut Occultum Lapidem 2008, Ac Côtes Du Roussillon Villages Latour De France
Languedoc, France$25.95
M. Chapoutier, introduced Braille labeling on his wines in 1994 so a blind family member could read the labels. You only need your nose to enjoy this wine in the blindness of the light. It got me revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night. Lamb please.

Luigi Bosca Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, Maipú, Mendoza
Mendoza, Argentina$15.25
Great value Cab from Argentina here. Like a bachelor party night. It smells like cigar smoke with a hint of vanilla perfume and leather unmentionables, and its smooth like the boys one-liners. Get your Wolf Pack together for a preload and pair it with a big ribeye and a dollop of horseradish.

Château Beaucastel Coudoulet De Beaucastel 2009, Ac Côtes Du Rhône
Rhône, France$29.95
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.

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.

Ontario, Canada$13.75
For the girlfriend. She’s bright, fresh, and juicy. So is this wine. Wrap it up with Adele’s CD and hope she is 1 of 100 people who don’t already own i

Taurino Salice Salentino Riserva 2008, Dop
Puglia, Italy$14.95
Amazing deep and smooth Italian red here. Like Meat Loaf at the Tea Emporium eating a pastrami sandwich. Its big, kinda ugly, and smells like fresh juicy meat and dried loose herbs. Pair this with a ketchup smothered, piping hot slice of meat from the loaf pan. I’d do anything for wine….. but I won’t drink tea, no I won’t drink tea.
