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.

Ant Moore Pinot Noir 2009, Central Otago, South Island
New Zealand$20.85
If you buy wine by the pretty label, look no further. The best Pinot’s made by the Kiwi’s are made in Central Otago . However most are priced beyond our budget. This one is like Kramer in Karate class. It’s not fair …….. how inexpensive this is. Blast the door open to your buddies apartment and cook up the Ontario lamb from his fridge.

Domdechant Werner Hochheimer Riesling Kabinett 2008, Rheingau
Rheingau, Germany$18.95
Like William’s smile, the title of this wine is a mouthful. But thankfully like Kate walking down the aisle: this wine is light bodied, classy, sweet, and flashes a bit of laciness. Riesling is a perfect match for a patio lunch on Mothers Day. Skip the party sandwiches and serve this with red snapper with creamy dill sauce.

De Bortoli Db Reserve Pinot Noir 2008, South Eastern Australia
Australia$15.95
Do you Speak-a my language?
This wine comes from a land down under, where women glow and men drink Pinot.
It’s a nice, inexpensive sipping Pinot Noir. Grab your best mate and plunder this down while BBQing. Finish it before the food is ready, or smile and pour it with a Vegemite Sandwich.

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.

Dr. Hermann Riesling Kabinett 2008, ürziger Würzgarten
Mosel, Germany$16.95
This Riesling is made from grapes harvested from vineyards that are on 60 degree slopes!The picture of the vineyard height makes me nauseous. The wine doesn’t. It’s like eating a Sweet Tart while licking a 9-volt battery. This wine is sweet and spritzy, has a really cool mouthfeel, and over-stimulates your saliva production making you want to try it again and again. Good match with spicy thai food and a Gravol (if your scared of heights).

Salterio Albariño 2010, Do Rías Baixas
Spain$17.95
Albariño is so fun to say in a fake Spanish accent. Try it… This white grape
thrives in the coastal Vineyards of Northwestern Spain. Drinking this is like waking up beside a fruit tree after a big bender (like this hasn’t happened to you). This wine smells like morning grass, something sweet…. and Holy Albariño your mouth is dry. Nice and acidic, it pairs with BBQ’d prosciutto wrapped scallops.

Baglio Di Pianetto Shymer 2008, Igt Sicilia
Sicily, Italy$15.95
Sicily is a smoking hot wine region that pumps out a ton of good value product. This is a blend of Syrah and Merlot that is “creepy” good. Like Steppenwolf holding a bowl of chocolate covered acacia berries. It smells great, but don’t go with them little girl, on their magic carpet ride. You’re born to be wild, so serve this up with a Toscana sheep milk Cheese. (PS I know it’s a band, not one guy!)

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.

Volpaia Chianti Classico 2008
Tuscany, Italy$27.95
Very nice Chianti here. Get on it. Made from cooler vineyards up on the hills of Tuscany. Its like Adele singing your favorite song on the piano. It looks pretty good, has some great raspy depth and packs a cute little zip. When you’re done chasing pavement, serve this with spaghetti and meatballs.

Trivento Amado Sur Malbec/Bonarda/Syrah 2009, Mendoza
Mendoza, Argentina$16.95
Here is this years first great value. A delicious Malbec blend that is perfectly priced for that Tuesday night tipple. You’ll be like Pooh bear on a pot of honey. It’s nice and plump, nice and sweet and it’ll put a perma-grin on your face. Throw on your red collared shirt that doesn’t cover your belly and lick this up with a wee bit of lamb sausage.
