The dining trends section inside the latest edition of enRoute Magazine includes a few favourite natural wine picks chosen by wine people across the country. Yours truly got a plug in there for Jean Foillard’s Morgon, and they miraculously spelled my name correctly (something that happens quite rarely when a printing press is involved). I’d happily drink any of the other wines named – especially Arianna Occhipinti’s Frappato! Coincidentally, I ended up at Woodlot in Toronto last week, home of Jeffrey Connell, who also had a pick in the article. Woodlot’s wine list really put a smile on my face and is worth checking out – think concise and Euro-centric with a lot of Loire picks from family-run producers like Catherine and Pierre Breton and Bernard Baudry.
Jake Sekun is my favourite. enRoute gives me a faint glimmer of hope that proofreading and fact checking in print may not be dead.
