Once Susanne and I started having kids, it became a bit more challenging for us to go out for a drink and a bite to eat on the weekend. So our “weekend dates” more frequently than not consist of a movie, a nice bottle of wine, and a few different cheeses at home. She picks the cheeses, I pick the wine, and the movie we can usually agree on. As my passion for wine became increasingly serious, friends frequently started asking about what wines we would recommend. This blog serves as a weekly update on our interesting finds from across the world: reds and whites, Old and New World, dry and sweet will all be covered in the months to come. My hope is that as you try out this wide variety of different wines, you’ll discover what types of wine you’ll like and explore those categories further.

The plan is to take a trip around the world and visit different wine regions. As much as possible I aim to include availability and pricing information for South Calgary / Okotoks. Click here to go to the latest entry or click on one of the locations on the map below for places that have been visited already:
