I dunno.
Call me crazy, but I really think Jake knocked it outta the park with the awesome, important post below.  Thanks everyone for commenting, and keep ‘em coming as well.  The issue seems to be reaching a tipping point, reminiscent of the Cellared In Canada controversy and how quickly things came around once the public [...]

There’s been lots going on this week, so Sunday School is postponed.

I’ve recently fallen for a Cult Cab and I haven’t been able to shake it from my mind for days. It comes in a regular sized bottle, doesn’t have an imposing name, and costs significantly less than $500. The wine is the namesake label [...]

What would you pair this with?
I’m thinking a down’n’dirty, unapologetically fugly, old-world Syrah-Mourvèdre blend…
A pretty Oregon Pinot Noir, it ain’t!

Menu Pineau. What can be said that hasn’t already been?
I’ve sat quietly on the sidelines reading others praise Thierry Puzelat’s Clos du Tue Boeuf 08 ‘Brin de Chèvre’ (particularly Guilhaume), from the Loire’s Touraine region. Made with natural methods from a grape which maybe ten other producers in the world cultivate, Menu Pineau. For more [...]

A month of travel lays ahead for both my lady and I, yet with different routes and destinations that don’t seem to connect. We shared a late-night bottle of Domaine de Bellivière ‘06 La Rouge-Gorge that we both enjoyed immensely. The spice and green leafiness mixed with the pretty and radiant red fruit reminded me [...]

Hey, Vancouverites!  Had enought yet?
Well, we can despise it or we can enjoy it. 
If you choose the latter, then you can do what I did last night.

There is hardly a better way to combat the heavy rains then to step in to any Memphis Blues Barbecue House, tuck into a Pulled Pork Sandwich, and wash it down with [...]

Well, this little flirt has been glancing my way at the local BCLDB for a couple months now.  Cute and petite with a great sense of humour - The Innocent Bystander 2009 Moscato from the Yarra Valley, Australia turned out to be a bit of a pricey date, but a fun and cheery fling nonetheless.
Fizzy, fresh [...]

Summer is pretty much here!  Time for cheery white wines and catchy pop tunes.  I just had the chance to try the new vintage of this Small Lots Viognier the other [...]

2007 Francis Coppola “Sofia” Carneros Pinot Noir Rosé  $28-ish

Okay, it’s not too much of a stretch here.  From the Francis Coppola winery comes “Sofia”, this lovely bone-dry pink wine made from 100% Carneros Pinot Noir.  There’s some lovely jasmine and gardenia floral notes on the nose (typical of the region), and they lead to rich [...]

Charles Smith “Boom Boom” Syrah 2006, Washington State
 
Like the song, like the band, this wine is bold, brash, cheeky and brilliant.  Don’t dismiss it because of the (awesome) label, the Boom Boom Syrah bridges the Old-World Syrah/New World Shiraz conundrum, chock full of blueberries, mocha, currants, cherries and an extra shot of espresso at the [...]
