The first wave is cedar and hints of chocolate, then red cherries with a little raspberry. It’s a nice #winepairing for a Sunday night beef stew. #barrie#downtownbarrie #alliston #orillia #collingwood #newmarket#simcoecountyliving
Some really lovely dark chocolate and black cherries along with enough acidity and judicious use of oak make this a pleasant #wine indeed. It could be a great #winepairing with a wide variety of food from robust vegetarian dishes to roast meats to stews. #barrie #downtownbarrie #alliston #orillia#collingwood #newmarket #simcoecountyliving
This #wine has some citrusy minerals and a richness approaching full bodied. Reminds me of a Sauvignon Blanc on steroids! Rich dishes with cheese or something like a potato dauphinois would make a nice #winepairing. #barrie #downtownbarrie #alliston #orillia #collingwood#newmarket #simcoecountyliving
A #rosewine that reminds me of salmon pink #winesfrom the south of France and that’s a good thing. Really liked the watermelon, strawberry, and little bit of rose flower and spice. A #winepairing with tomato, onion, and garlic would be a good one. #barrie#downtownbarrie #alliston #orillia #collingwood#newmarket #simcoecountyliving
A bone dry Spanish Cava #sparklingwine with crisp acidity, lemons, and driven minerality with modicum of typical bitterness on the finish. Try it alone as an aperitif or with some salted roast nuts as a#winepairing. #barrie #downtownbarrie #alliston#orillia #collingwood #newmarket#simcoecountyliving
This #wine is an IGT Sangiovese grown in the south of Italy and shows red cherries, black cherry sweetness, and some earth with alcoholic heat. Try it with your pizza as a #winepairing, especially if it has some hot Sopresetta. You will not mistake it for a Chianti Classico, but at around $8 in 
, it is a good wine and a great value. #barrie #downtownbarrie #alliston #orillia#collingwood #newmarket #simcoecountyliving
The memory of the view from Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars from my trip to Napa in November is helping me get through the nasty freezing rain tonight in Barrie . Spring will come… #barrie #downtownbarrie #alliston #orillia#collingwood #newmarket #simcoecountyliving
We have a very good to excellent #wine here that hails from the Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, . It is wonderfully complex for a Merlot showing ripe red plums, with some black currant and cedar spiciness. Just what you need for a #winepairingwith some roast beef on a cold winter night. #barrie#downtownbarrie #alliston #orillia #collingwood#newmarket #simcoecountyliving
