We tried this wine in class today, we started off judging its nose with debating whether it smelled like Lays BBQ chips or Ruffles BBQ chips. Later we discovered pleasing notes of hot dog water and hickory sticks. Ps it was $31

This is how you make wine. I say actually and also a lot in this one. If you count the number of times I say actually, and can find the part where I edited an "actually" out, I'll do a review on the wine of your choice!

I was drinking Pelee Island's Vinedressers Series Meritage 2010 a few days ago. I also received an ask about my favourite 5 wines atm and this is on that list. I actually have about four bottles in my "wine cellar" aging. Here are some notes:

Dry red, medium bodied, light acidity, medium tannins

Tastes like raspberry, currant, rasins, with hints of tobacco and cocoa

Really enjoyable. 

You can sometimes get this at the LCBO, but it's usually only available at Pelee Island Winery.

Fun Fact: Meritage is a specific blend created by the Californians of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. Pronounced merit-IHge not merit-AHge.

Good job, I am looking forward to the next vlog. What are your top five favorite wines at the moment?

Ohhh!!!! Thank you! 

Oh this is hard. My top fave wines right now both red and white in no particular order are *drumroll*

Mayu Carmenere 2011 Reserve (The one I did my first vlog on)

Pelee Island Winery Meritage 2010

Jacob’s Creek Shiraz Reserve 2010

Pelee Island Winery Lighthouse Riesling 2012

Another wine I had about a month ago. It was possibly Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2008 but i don’t totally remember.

Please remember I’m still not what they’d call a “professional”. But thank you! Feel free to ask me anymore questions :) Cheers!

First wine review on this site! Here it goes.

Wine: Beaujolais-Villages Grands Vins Villa Ponciago 2012  (This means it's a Gamay Noir, from the village of Ponciago)(maybe) Rating: It's easy to drink Colour: Medium Ruby Food Pairing: A light cheese, fish, or chicken ceasar salad but it's great to get drunk off on its own  LCBO Price: $15??????????

Maybe I'll do this better next time.
