When buying wine in Ontario, what percentage of my money is going to taxes?
(Coming Soon)
Wine gives me terrible headaches? Why? Is there anything I can do?
How should I keep leftover wine?
A glass of red wine will (temporarily) turn my smile an embarassing shade of purple.
How can I enjoy red wine without flashing my friends a row of not-so-pearly teeth?
I would like to buy a bottle of wine to save for a very special occasion.
How do I know which wines are suitable for aging?
Wines are (almost) always made from grapes...why?
(Revised and Expanded Coming Soon)
Indulging our craving for chocolate-covered mints,
my friend and I were unable to think of a wine to suit our feast.
We settled for glasses of milk.
Can you suggest a wine to go with chocolate-covered mints?
I recently visited a couple of Ontairo wineries.
I found that any wines which I liked were at least $25/bottle. That seems too expensive...
I regularly choose Australian and Californian wines -- priced $15-$20 -- which I enjoy
at least as much. Is there good value to be found in Ontario/VQA wines?
I see labels which say "Merlot", or "Shiraz" (etc)...
...but I don't really understand what that means.
What is a "Grape Variety"?
This evening we're planning on opening a bottle of Chianti Classico from our cellar.
For stemware, we own sets of two types fancy red wine glasses. Both are Riedel crystal,
the first -- they say -- is designed for Syrah/Shiraz and the second for Bordeaux.
How do we decide which glasses to use?
