For a while I’ve been stuck on the French reds and was really looking to find a varietal I enjoy on a more local level. If you’ve been following events here you’ll know I’ve tried California and Pennsylvania without too much luck. But the other day I got a taste of Washington State. Maybe it’s [...]

I love me some red wine on my wine rack. Every time I find another Cabernet under ten dollars I must admit I get excited. Discovering that you like wine and then discovering that the type of wine you enjoy has a tendency to be on the expensive side is a bit of a mixed [...]

The 2007 Rayun Cabernet Sauvignon is an inexpensive little number from Chile. I’ve found South American wines offer the same flavor portfolio I get from French wines with a little more dryness and a more enticing price tag for my humble wine rack. This one was calling to me from the back of the wine [...]

2007 was the year for wine apparently. Well the best year since 1997 that is. Currently my wine rack is stocked with an assortment of 2007 vintage reds which makes me happy. Some I’ve already reviewed on this site and have bought just because of their yumminess but the 2007 Mirassou Cabernet Sauvignon is a [...]

I was lucky enough to receive a number of wonderful gifts from my darling husband and 15 month old son this past Mother’s Day including a selection of red wine. Once again the wonderful delight that is Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau is gracing my wine rack. Although I have reviewed the particular bottle in the [...]

I love Gordon Ramsey I find his upfront approach to food refreshing. But would I let him near my wine rack? After reading the latest wine related news I think not. Apparently the celebrity chef didn’t pay the wine bill for his New York based restaurant. The news brief got me thinking about celebrities and [...]
We enjoyed enough sunshine yesterday in Revelstoke (where there was still snow on the ground in places) that my friend Chris and our children ate lunch outside on a picnic table after a swim. We had wet hair, yet did not turn blue immediately. This is a good sign. Wineries across the Okanagan Valley will [...]

If there’s one thing my daughter Faye has always wanted to do when we go shopping, it’s to try the many different styles of cheese available at the deli. Taking her to Gourt’s Gouda in Salmon Arm is just taunting her, really, but you’ve gotta do these things at least once (and then you have [...]

Non-alcoholic wine sounds like an oxymoron, doesn’t it? I mean, isn’t that just juice? With beer it might be different, seeing as how I’ve never heard of anyone drinking hop-juice before, but wine is made from grapes. I’m confused (a common state for me).
Interestingly, one of the processes for making liquor is the same one [...]

Remember how a little while back I mentioned some friendly competition between Booze Monkey in Australia and the Palate Press in the States? Let me recap: the publications are going head to head, running their auctions to raise money for Haiti relief, hoping to raise tens of thousands of dollars each. Palate Press is seeing [...]
