White Wine After Labour Day
Just because the leaves are changing color and the air is getting crisper doesn’t mean that you have to switch up your usual white wine to a red one. In fact, there are plenty of amazing white wine options that’ll work with flannel and cooler weather.
Some of my faves for this season include Viognier, a lightly oaked Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Gewürztraminer. So let’s dive into all of these a little deeper!
Fall in a Glass (or 2)
The leaves are changing, the air is getting crisper, the days are getting shorter... This just means it's time to re/introduce some delicious new options into your bevvie repertoire. There’s no time like the present to start getting adventurous with your drink choices! Enjoy!
Unique, Refreshing White Wines Perfect for Spring
The weather is getting brighter, the days are getting longer, and that just means more white wine coming into your rotation, right? But instead of always reaching for the same Riesling or Sauv Blanc (no offence to either of those grapes!), how about switching things up and keeping it interesting? Here are a few patio-worthy suggestions next time you’re feeling adventurous at the bottle shop.
Breaking Out Of Your Wine Rut: Pinot Noir Edition
Ahhhh… Pinot Noir. A beautiful and temperamental grape - you never really know what side you’re going to get. So when you find one you like, why wouldn’t you stick with it? It’s such a roller coaster trying new pinot noirs.

I stayed in Europe this week with my wine choices, but I did pick up very cool finds. Between Grape Witches and the LCBO, I got my hands on a couple reds and a white that I think will be dynamite!
Spring Drink Inspo
Spring is almost here! And with that, perhaps it’s time to change up your go-to wine/bevvie for the season? Here are a few fun wine suggestions and a mocktail recipe that you can incorporate into the upcoming longer days and into the Summer.
Breaking Out Of Your Wine Rut: Cali Cab Sauv Edition
It’s so easy to get caught in a rut when it comes to wine. You find something that you love, and you keep buying it over and over again. Now, don’t get me wrong - it’s great to know a couple bottles that you know you’re gonna love and always have those in your back packet, but how do you know what to pick when you’re feeling just slightly adventurous?
Wines I Bought This Week (02/14/21)
This week I picked up an interesting assortment of wines. It was definitely a selection outside of my usual, but I was feeling a bit adventurous. So after perusing the Paris Paris wine shop (their selection really is top notch), I narrowed it down to 3 (so difficult!) and here’s what I ended up with.
Wines I Bought This Week (02/07/21)
This week was all about pinot noir for me - and it wasn’t even on purpose. Pinot Noir is a finicky grape that can be oh-so-delicious or oh-so-yikes, so it’s always an adventure trying out new ones. Now, I’ve always wanted to try pinot noirs from all these regions, so it was just my luck while browsing the Paris Paris wine shop that I came across these 3 beauties.
