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.

Tamaya Reserva Malbec/Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah 2009, Limari Valley
Limari Valley, Chile$15.25
Big nose red with a smooth finish. A little too much of a bomb for my taste, but great value.

Quintay Q Sauvignon Blanc 2011, Casablanca Valley
Casablanca Valley, Chile$14.95
A great Sauv Blanc in a really cool bottle from Chile. Its a tongue twisting, lip smacking, grape fruity, mouth watering beverage. Its feels like you've lubed up your lips with Burts Bee's and said "eleven benevolent elephants" 5 times. Pour this nice and cold and serve Sally seafood that she's sold.

Château Val Joanis Tradition Syrah Rosé 2011, Ac Luberon
Rhône, France$15.95
This is perfect to sip on a hot day with some good friends. Like Nicole Kidman eating a fruit salad while reading about Tom Cruise’s recent troubles. It’s powder pale, kinda pretty, smells like apple and cantaloupe and will put a large smile on your face. One bottle will certainly not be enough.

Lan Crianza 2008, Doca Rioja
Rioja, Spain$15.95
It's back, another good buy perenial favorite. Time to try LAN if you haven't. It's like listening to top 40 at the cottage all weekend long. Its lively, fruity, and so consistent you'll be humming Kelly Clarkson tunes if you're not careful . If you're in a payphone with Maroon 5, call home and say you're picking up 6 of these for Tuesday night tipples.

Christian Moueix Pomerol 2009, Ac Pomerol
Bordeaux, France$22.75
This is Pomtastic! Pomerol is a right-bank Bordeaux which is predominately merlot based. Unlike the left-bank which is predominately Cabernet Sauvignon based. This Pomerol is the hot girls best friend at the dance. It's softer, juicier and very approachable. Be a good wing man. Choose this with some grilled lamb and leave the left bank for your buddy.

Grove Street Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, Sonoma County
California, Usa$19.95
I’m all over this like a fat kid on a chocolate bunny. This slides down your gullet like a viscous milk chocolate fondue. It goes perfect with a roast leg of lamb, but please make sure Momma pulls it out of the oven before it turns ashen grey.

Peachy Canyon Westside Zinfandel 2007, Paso Robles
California, Usa$24.95
Millions of Peaches, peaches for me. Paso Robles wine growing takes place halfway between LA and San Fran. Zins are not for the faint of heart, they are high sugar grapes that are produced into wines upwards of 15% alcohol. However, they produce amazing mouth filling wines with raspberry scents and a peppery taste. I’m moving to the country to drink me a lot of Peachy Canyon (name the band). Get to the LCBO before I buy em’ all and serve em at my ribfest.

Maison Roche De Bellene Côtes Du Nuits Villages 2009, Ac
Burgundy, France$19.95
Pinotfiles rejoice. $20 Burgundian Pinot…. its a steal. Its like riding a horse on the prairies while eating a dulce de leche gelato. This has a fresh farm stench with a great sprinkling of caramelized brown sugar and like the view, the finish lasts a long time. Get off those warm climate Pinots and stick your nose in this. Put some Keith Urban on, saddle up, and serve it up with some stinky sheep brie.

Mount Riley Sauvignon Blanc 2011, Marlborough
Marlborough, New Zealand$16.95
Every time I read the word Mount, I think of my buddies little amorous dog. This Sauv Blanc will make everyone happy. It’s like walking little Riley in the park on a clear winter day. Its fresh and crisp, puts a skip in your step and it’ll get your little friend so excited, he’ll mount up for a quick shin bone ride. Kick off the passenger and serve this well chilled with roasted asparagus.
