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.

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.

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)

Seresin Sauvignon Blanc 2010, Marlborough, South Island
Marlborough, New Zealand$21.95
A perfect patio summer wine. Like Steven Tyler eating a fruit salad. It's really lean, has a big mouth and is full of fresh fruit. You'll be Cryin' unless you pick this up and serve it Friday afterwork with a plate of appys. Live it up while this is going down.

De Bortoli Windy Peak Pinot Noir 2010, Yarra Valley, Victoria
Victoria, Australia$13.25
This is a great light summer sipper from a very established producer Down Under. A great deal too. Like the Beatles eating Chinese food with a little help from their friends. It’s got a friendly warm color, smells sweet, and finishes sour. Do you need anybody…. or any Pinot? This is somebody you’ll love….. with some lamb sausages.

Emiliana Signos De Origen La Vinilla Chardonnay/Viognier/Marsanne/Roussanne 2010, Casablanca Valley
Casablanca Valley, Chile$19.95
Hello juicy wine, welcome to my salivary glands. This masterful bright blend of white grapes will please any wine drinker. Like Katrina & The Waves hanging out on your dock. It’s like Walking on Sunshine and this wine makes me feel good…… Alright now. Feel alive and pair this with good friends and afternoon rays of sunshine.

Canonica A Cerreto Sandiavolo 2006, Igt Toscana
Tuscany, Italy$24.95
A really nice Super Tuscan from the bottom of the Chianti Classico region. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet in this one. Like Ben Johnson in 1988. Its brooding, powerful and dense, and it’ll disappear so fast in your glass, you’ll know you’ve been cheated. Decant it and serve it with steak Florentine.

Quinta De Ventozelo Touriga Nacional 2008
Douro, Portugal$19.95
What a tasty, affordable number from Portugal here. Its like Willy Wonka getting spanked with a basting brush. Its got licorice, chocolate, and a whack of bruised herbs. Delicious bottle to enjoy with Elk blueberry sausages. Buy 2 or 3 as "a little nonsense now and then is cherished by the wisest men."

Casa De La Ermita Idílico Crianza Selección 2006
Murcia, Spain$19.95
A nice blend here from the Jumilla region of Spain. Back to school and this wine reminds me of Sesame Street. It has a nice round nose like Ernie, its plush and rich like Oscar the Grouch's fur, and you'll open your mouth as wide a Grover's to get as much down as you can. Hello Everybodeeeeeee, it's a nice bottle of wine to pair with seared meat.

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.
