Can we talk about Rioja Vega Crianza 2020 for a sec? It’s a wine that just screams ‘drink me!’ AND IS UNDER $18.

Take a whiff and BAM! Ripe cherry and caramel, hitting you right in the in the best way possible. First sip? It’s like a velvet dream, with pomegranate, red plum, and a dash of milk chocolate.

But wait, there’s more! The finish? Let’s just say it’s like a sweet surprise party with candied orange peel. And again, it’s under $18! What a steal. Snag it while you can at the LCBO ‘cause this baby is a limited edition feature - find it in the Spanish Vintages section.

In honour of national puppy day, here’s a wine recommendation (Bar Dog Pinot Noir 🔥) that supports dogs (each bottle purchased = donation to animal rescue), and here are just some pictures of my favourite puppy boy ☺️❤️

I have something new to share!

Check out this event I've been putting together - LOTS of wine, premium spirits, and my personal favourite, vermouths and sherry.

Food stations will be featured to complement the libations, and it goes without saying you'll find me at Eataly's table where Chef will be preparing handmade mozzarella to accompany freshly shaved prosciutto.

And for those looking to dig deeper and sip some truly rare and unique gems, check out the Masterclasses. Hope to see you there!

Honoured to dine and sip at the pre-opening of the Ace Hotel and absolutely elated to see featured in their incredible cocktail menu. Every detail from the lobby to the food were exquisite, more than a hotel, but a neighborhood gem. The coconut cream pie is officially my new favourite dessert in the entire city. Opening up August 9th, if you’re looking for me, I’ll be at the Ace 👀

NAT’Cool.


These fresh amphora wines are by far some of the most delightful funky wines I’ve had in a while and will hopefully be enjoying much more of.

——

The “Fresh from Amphora” collection is the result of a partnership between Herdade do Rocim and Niepoort - it’s their approach to the Nat’Cool concept and to its philosophy of relaxed and easy to drink wines. What makes this so unique is that vinification occurs in clay pots, with absolutely no temperature control. This is a nod to the ancient wine making techniques where fermentation took place using indigenous yeasts and with no addition or correction of must. It’s old skool, it’s nat’cool, it’s splendid.

Celebrating my Pop with an afternoon of baseball, wagyu bbq and Stag’s Leap.

Consider myself quite lucky to have a dad who actively advocates for women rights, cheers on the underdogs, works hard at protecting our most essential workers and is an infinite source of rock’n’roll history and political insights. Cheers, to my dad and all the other great fathers and father figures out there.

If you're anything like me and enjoy cheese, charcuterie, salty and savoury snacks, oysters or olives, then BELIEVE me - vermouth is for you! 🦪🍸

If you somehow hate all of these things, rest assured, vermouth is probably still for you. The beauty of vermouth is its infinite flexibility. From sipping it served neat, to a spritz, to the backbone of a good cocktail, vermouth can be enjoyed in so many ways, you're sure to find a personal favourite.

The best way to jump into the world of vermouth is through a guided tasting, so why not join us Friday at Bar Cocchi in Eataly? Giorgio Bava - Vermouth Expert, Negroni Afficando, and Cocchi Principal - will be leading a guided tasting with four absolutely delicious vermouths. We'll begin by serving them neat and work our way up to a cocktail, pairing canapes along the way. It's going to be delicious, and you're going to love it.

Cheers!
