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!

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!

Move over Chile and Argentina, there’s a new burgeoning wine region in South America that’s ready for the limelight. While small in size (about the same size as Washington State), Uruguay is mighty when it comes to wine.

When you think about the US’s wine regions, chances are your mind likely automatically goes to California. But there are so many other regions scattered throughout the US - almost every state has winemaking to some degree. One of the more burgeoning states is Oregon. No surprise considering it’s just north of California, but keep in mind that Oregon is a cooler and rainier state, so vineyard management is often very different from what you might find in California.

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.

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!

Austria may not be the first country that comes to mind when you think about wine. It might not even be the fifth country you think of. But Austria is definitely a country you should keep in mind for both whites and reds. The most common wine associated with Austria is the white grape variety of Grüner Veltliner - but there’s so much more than just that.

Sometimes I feel like Sauvignon Blanc is an all-too-often overlooked grape varietal. Even though it’s a super aromatic grape, climate and winemaking really does have a huge influence on the finished wine.

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.

Not all Rieslings are sweet! One of the noble grape varieties, Riesling is an extremely versatile aromatic white grape.
