Italy has a fascinating wine producing history. It began with the Etruscans and Greeks (they made wine in Sicily around 800 BC), but the better recorded history of winemaking began with the Romans in 8 BC. In fact, the Romans liked their wine so much that the Emperor had to issue a decree in 92 AD to destroy some vineyards…
Perrin Les Christins Vacqueyras 2014
Ahh, I do love Vacqueyras and this 2014 is a very good #wine! Plums, spice, garrigue, and cracked black pepper made it a good match with chicken roasted with tomatoes, garlic, and olives. #barrie#downtownbarrie#alliston#orillia#collingwood#bradford#newmarket#simcoecountyliving#livinginsimcoecounty
Willm Riesling Reserve 2017
Alsace is a French wine region that has been swapped between France and Germany over the centuries; hence, here we have a French Riesling. This #wine is very dry with intense lime, minerals, and refreshing acidity. The perfect accompaniment for Chinese pork with cashews. #barrie#downtownbarrie#alliston#orillia#collingwood#bradford#newmarket#simcoecountyliving#livinginsimcoecounty
For a versatile pour, nothing beats sparkling; it beautifully pairs with almost any food. The secret is its great acidity and lack of tannins. Acidity refreshes your palate and makes the next bite of food more enjoyable. That’s one reason sparkling is so good with rich and oily foods like smoked salmon or potato chips. Good acidity makes a great…
Ravine Sand & Gravel Redcoat 2014
This is a Bordeaux style blend leaning towards more Merlot in 2014 vintage. There’s a little blueberry on the nose, but the flavours of red currants, cherries, plums, and cedary spice on the palate. It’s a very good #wine for your red meats or grilled portobello mushrooms. #barrie#downtownbarrie#alliston#orillia#collingwood#bradford#newmarket#simcoecountyliving#livinginsimcoecountyRavine Vineyard Estate Winery
Niagara College Dean’s List Pinot Noir 2010
This is the Niagara College Canada Dean’s List Pinot Noir 2010 aged in Canadian oak. Should have opened it a bit sooner. It’s mature, and perhaps a little past its prime, with pine, cedar, forest floor, and some cherry fruit. Still a pretty good accompaniment for filet mignon. #barrie#downtownbarrie#alliston#orillia#collingwood#bradford#newmarket#simcoecountyliving#livinginsimcoecounty
Saint-Roch Chimeres 2016
One of my fav full bodied #wine with spicy plum and oak from south of France. Amazing with chicken roasted with garlic, tomatoes, olives, olive oil, and a bit of dried chilli peppers. Get some soon; LCBO only brings it in once a year. #barrie#downtownbarrie#alliston#orillia#collingwood#bradford#newmarket#simcoecountyliving#livinginsimcoecounty
