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.

Coto De Imaz Reserva 2005, Doca Rioja
Rioja, Spain$20.95
A real beauty from Spain for a buen precio. In 2005 the tune "Drop it Like its Hot" was popular with the hip kids. Like Snoop Dog in a sauna eating some red curry. Its old school, wreaks of coolness, smells of cheeba and wet cedar, and has a great spicy finish. When the pimps come to your crib ma, drop this with some spicy sausage, asiago cheese, and sea salt crackers

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

Heredad De Baroja Gran Reserva 2001, Doca Rioja
Rioja, Spain$24.95
Oh me oh my. 12 year old beauty Rioja here. Like Hugh Hefner BBQing Portobello's at the mansion. It mature, smells like cooked mushrooms and cherry lipstck, and its silky smooth like his pyjamas. Before diving into the Grotto, grab a bottle of this to share with the May bunny.

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 2009, Elqui Valley
Chile$17.95
Second year in a row I’m on this Chilean. You’ll love this if you love the stinky, full bodied wines. This is like Marty Brodeur BBQing with his gloves on. Its smell like smoke and sweaty leather mitts, has amazing balance, and will age very well. Have a few of these ready for game 7 with a charred leg of lamb with a side of mint sauce.

Travaglini Gattinara 2006, Docg
Piedmont, Italy$29.95
This wine is made from the same grape (Nebbiolo) as all Barolo's and Barbaresco's. After a hard days work, this is like rewarding yourself with a big spoonful of Nutella. It's smooth, mouth filling, slightly sweet and nutty, and the taste lingers on. Pair this with 2 Piedmontese classics: Rabbit stew and Ferrero Rocher.

Château D'anglés Grand Vin 2007, Ac Languedoc La Clape
Languedoc, France$19.95
La Clape c’est très bon. Like Sade dining on some steak au poivre. It’s sweet and sophisticated and has a creamy mouthful with a peppery finish. Pair this Smooth Operator with some french meat and your Sweetest Taboo.

Paxton Aaa Shiraz/Grenache 2010, Mclaren Vale, South Australia
Australia$19.95
The triple A has to insure this wine is quality. Cool fall days is the time for Shiraz. It’s like watching Modern Family while eating a mon cheri with both arms in your slanket. Its warm and comfortable, has a sweet boozy chocolate taste and it’ll make you smile. Like Phil says, I’m totally pumped for this wine, “Pump up the jam, Pumped up kicks, Pumpedy dumpty, Pumplestiltskin.”

Santa Carolina Sauvignon Blanc Reserva 2010, Leyda Valley
Chile$11.95
I was privileged to taste this wine with the wine maker Andres Caballero. I fully agreed with his description of this wine “It’s happy and bright”. Its like watching an animated movie while eating a Caesar salad. You’re amazed by the color, your senses are uplifted like balloons tied to a house, and your mouth waters from thezippy sauce. Pair this with a friend after a bad day. It’ll turn you Up and make you feel right at home.
