While varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay make popular choices for dinner parties and short wine lists in restaurants, there are so many varietals to choose from that a waiter needs something to go on; some clue from the drinker as to what style he or she likes. Even ‘red’ or ‘white’ gives few clues. [...]

It seems every time I go to stock up the wine rack lately I am obsessed with 2007 vintages. It doesn’t seem to matter where the wine originates as long as it’s a 2007 I’ve hit pay dirt at every turn. And if you know my blog you know cheap French reds are definitely my [...]

Having enjoyed a run of good luck with white wines lately, I have been loath to tip them or use them for watering my beans (saying which, I wonder what would happen?) Instead, I dug out some recipe books and having found numerous selections that call for dry white wine, have experimented in the kitchen. [...]
I was excited to get the package slip in my mail box the other day and even happier to discover that my friend in California had sent me a new addition for my wine rack. The label on this California white is the image of a vintage bottle green truck. I’ve seen it on the [...]

For an inexpensive wine from the Okanagan Valley, the OKV 2008 Select White makes a decent choice. Priced less than $10 Cdn on sale, even at a private liquor store (where cost usually ranges from a few pennies to a few dollars more per bottle, unless you encounter a sale) this makes good value for [...]
So I was browsing the shelves of the virtual wine shop looking to stock up the wine rack with another assortment of yummy flavors when I came across a white Burgundy.
White Burgundy? Isn’t Burgundy supposed to be red?
I had stumbled across yet another hole in my Swiss cheese wine education and had to start researching [...]

Okay, so you wouldn’t put this next offering in your wine cellar. You would buy the bottle, chill it, and toast a new baby, wedding, or birthday with it. I’m talking about an aerated semi-sparkling wine, given its bubbles with added carbon dioxide. Deinhard Sparkling Diamant is my poison this evening, and a lovely poison [...]
Girls’ nights out are few and far between so my friend Chris talked me into doing it right, at a real restaurant, where they served bread in a basket and we wouldn’t want to take the kids. Meals were a bit more pricey than at a fast food place, or even the next step up, [...]

I love salad in the spring and summer. We go to local markets to pick up vegetables straight from farms within half an hour of our house, and even go so far as to grow a bit of green stuff in our own garden. Since I am not a big fan of processed food and [...]

My cheap wine hunt got cheaper last night when I brought a $10 to the counter which came up as less than $7. I was delighted. What a bargain. Not only did I get to try a Trebbiano, one I had aimed to imbibe this year at some point, but the wine cost less than [...]
