Bethany Harpur is an Ottawa-based freelance writer, editor and sommelier. Her blog, Second Ferment, speaks volumes about her passion for wine and how it "pairs well with life". She is a vocal advocate for wines made (not just 'cellared') in Canada, particularly from the Niagara and Prince Edward County regions. She is a graduate of the Algonquin College Sommelier program (2009) and Carleton University’s School of Journalism (1999).
When she's not writing about wine, Bethany works for the federal government in communications. She is also a wife and a mom to two daughters.

Gabbiano Pinot Grigio 2007, Venetia
Veneto, Italy$12.95
Fresh, zesty, lots of lemon, light-bodied with a nice bite of acid. Dry, crisp finish. Paired it with cod served in a white wine-tomato sauce sprinkled with sliced kalamata olives and a generous shake of parmesan.

Hoya De Cadenas Reserva 2004
Spain$11.95
(Review of 2004 vintage) Nose of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, mint and cedar. Its sleek, medium-bodied musculature is supported by round tannins and a supple mouthfeel. Excellent with beef tartare, veal tenderloin, and other big slabs of grilled meat.
