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.

Mount Riley Sauvignon Blanc 2010, Marlborough, South Island
Marlborough, New Zealand$16.95
The New Zealand Marlborough region makes some classic tasting Sauv Blancs. This smells like grass, gooseberry and grapefruit and has mouth watering acidity that keeps you wanting more. Just like the first time you heard that Def Leppard tape in your Walkman. Red light , yellow light, green light go. Pour some of this sugar in my glass and pass me a salty cracker.

Masi Brolo Di Campofiorin 2007, Igt Rosso Del Veronese, Appassimento
Veneto, Italy$26.95
Masi is one of my favorite Italian producers. This is an amazing mouthful for the price. Like Jewel belting out a tune. It’s quite hot, smells woodsy and homey, and you’ll drink enough to straighten your teeth. Park the RV, Break from Bad, get a bottle of this and drink it with some roast prime rib. (I don’t know any Jewel lyrics)

Finca Nueva Reserva 2004, Doca Rioja
Rioja, Spain$18.95
This is a Giant of a wine that is Super good. Like Madonna’s half time show. Its old, carefully crafted, has a lot of fruit and a little spice. Lip-sync to your favorite over-produced song while serving this with some flank steak.

Santa Carolina Reserva De Familia Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, Maipo Valley
Maipo Valley, Chile$17.95
Sweet Carolina is this a deal. $18 for a well made, flavor driven, Chilean Cab. Like a well cologned Neil Diamond squeezing some ripe oranges. It’s got a powerful lingering scent, a larger than average nose, its super juicy, and its catchy like his lyrics. Buy a few and ply up your friends because “Good times have never felt so good”. Ba Ba Bahhhh.

Valiano Poggio Teo Chianti Classico 2006, Docg, Castelnuovo Berardenga
Tuscany, Italy$13.75
For the good neighbor. They shovel your walk and smile while they do it. Give em a bottle of this friendly Chianti. Perfect to serve when they drop by, or when you go over for a drink. Strap on your cheesiest holiday sweater.

Cave De Roquebrun La Grange Des Combes Saint Chinian Roquebrun 2009, Ac
Languedoc, France$18.95
Great Frenchie. Kyrie Eleison, this wine reminds me of grade 8. It smells like a blended up mash of berries and dried herbs with a distinct hint of liquid paper. Yes liquid paper! You remember that smell. Who cared if you put an “E” before an “I” if it wasn’t after a “C” on your handwritten essay. Your reward was unscrewing that bottle of great smelling, mind altering letter corrector. As an adult, I’ll correct a bad day by getting slightly dizzy on a few glasses of this. Throw on some Mr. Mister and huff it up with a chunk of beef.

Simonnet Febvre Chablis 2010, Ac
Burgundy, France$19.95
"Here we are now, entertain us." A nice steely sipping Chardonnay from France here. Like a high school dance. Its clean, fresh, lighthearted and smells like teen spirit. ”With the lights out, its less dangerous” to serve this to your sweetheart paired with seafood.

Malivoire Ladybug Rosé 2010, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$15.95
The Tulips are a bloomin and Rosé is in season. Thank you Malivoire for giving me thisimage. This Rosé is like Lady GaGa wearing a candy necklace. It is sweet, playful, has a nice body and a memorable nose. Pair this with a sunny day on a teak lounger with Alejandro.

Rocca Delle Macìe Chianti Classico Riserva 2006, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$22.95
Oh Rocca you’re so fine, you’re so fine you blew my mind, hey Rocca. Pasta night, Tuesday night, Charcuterie night. Nuff said. If you need a Chianti in your wine fridge, buy it. If you don’t have a wine fridge, buy one.

Fattoria Le Fonti Chianti Classico 2009, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$19.95
This Chianti will make you smile. Like Buzz Lightyear having a balanced cracker and candy snack. It plays well with others and has a mouth watering, salty black Twizzler taste. Raise your eyebrows, put your fists to your hips and declare that you’re buying beyond a great number of these… to go with sausage pizzas.
