Bought this deck of playing cards at St. James's Gate. The beer I'm having now reminds me of that also lovely day.

Three feature wines from Carriage Trade. Hoo Roo Creek Shiraz ($13.95), Governo Chianti ($15.95), Viewpointe Pinot Grigio ($9.96). Fine wines. NOT in LCBO. Licensee prices.
3 of my favourite wines in the "affordable" category. I like the fact that they're not in stores. Kinda exclusive : )

The wonderful world of wine
When I worked in the technology field, I started hanging out with people who were into wine. I thought it was fun, interesting and cultural. And the stuff tasted darn good. So I started getting into it myself. I started one of the world's first wine websites, because I knew how to do it. Eventually I got pretty good at writing about wine. Now 15 years later, it's become a life time endeavour. Very enjoyable indeed. Enjoy my blog. I will re-post my best articles to this blog from my previous home-grown blog. Cheers, WB.
