Closson Chase Vineyards 2018 Closson Chase Vineyard Pinot Noir (ON $36) One of my favorite dishes to make for dinner year-round is risotto. I find it so versatile – really you can use whatever is in season to create a unique risotto every time. So the other night, I was making a risotto with a bunch of veggies I had…

Lazzara Rosato Secco VQA, NV (ON $17.95) Happy Friday!!  I think it’s pretty serendipitous that earlier this week on the exact same day, not only did I get my new champagne glasses, but I also received some gorgeous sparkling wines from Speck Bros.  So it was only natural that I would christen my new glasses with one of these bubbly’s….

Windrush Estate Winery Dry Riesling 2019 (ON $29.95) You may or may not have seen my story and/or reel from yesterday – but I got an air fryer which I’m super pumped about and the first thing I decided to make were stuffed zucchini blossoms (if you know me, you won’t be shocked at this). Anyway – in trying to…

Hinterland Wine Co. Rosé 2016 Method Traditional (ON $39.75) Back after a few days in the woods and since I’ve been on a bubbly kick lately, it really should come as no surprise that one of the wines I packed for the getaway was a rosé bubbly. This one is a local beauty from Hinterland Wine Co. in Prince Edward…

Flat Rock Cellars Nadja’s Riesling 2018 (ON $25.15) Another beauty from the Beamsville area to share with everyone today – this time, we’re going to Flat Rock Cellars for Nadja’s Riesling 2018. Before we dive into the wine, I wanted to share some fun facts about the winery. They are only 1 of 5 wineries in Ontario that are Certified…

Leaning Post Wines Petillant Naturel 2020 (ON $25) Pét Nats can be a hit or a miss, but here’s my trick to enjoying them almost every time… If your mind is thinking “I want wine”, then maybe don’t reach for a Pét Nat.  If your mind is thinking “I want a beer, maybe a sour, something refreshing”, this is your…

Grange of Prince Edward 2013 County Crémant (ON $38) Today I wanted to highlight a beautiful sparkling wine from Prince Edward County, Ontario. Grange of Prince Edward’s 2013 County Crémant – becomes sometimes midweek just calls for bubbles.  Am I right? First off, this colour, it’s so aesthetically pleasing.  The grape varietals used in this crémant are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir,…

Flat Rock Cellars Riesling 2018 (ON $16.15 on sale) There are fewer dinners more delightful than Thai and Riesling, am I right? Now, I usually go for German Rieslings when it comes to spicy food pairings, but seeing as how I recently polished off the last of my case of Weingut Gunderloch, I reached for something local to pair with…

Rosewood Estates Winery PTG 2020 (ON $25) Rosewood Estates Winery does it again with this very chuggable red blend, PTG and it’s chillable too, which makes it perfect for the patio or a park hangout. (and lucky for us in Ontario, it’s finally the season for it.)  Notes of juicy raspberries, strawberries, red plums, tomato leaf, oregano, and sun-dried tomato…
