Getting ready for a great weekend of NFL NBA and NHL. In preparation for this we have stocked the bar and suggest grabbing a bad ass bottle of Siderit #vodka #lactée for your Mott's Clamato Caesar. Also got a sneak peek at the new all natural Reserve Clamato...sooo good!#caesarsfordays #caesar #mottsclamatocaesar #siderit #yycspirits #yegspirits #cocktail #canadiana

Oh man, we won the day with this bad boy. Linguini Vongole (pasta courtesy of Mercato Mission) paired with the classic Renato Ratti Langhe Chardonnay in the Puligny Montravhet glass from Riedel - The Wine Glass Company. Bright, fresh, unoaked style, think Italian Chablis. Green apple, lemon pie, lime zest, baked pear, great weight and balance and a great finish to boot. #italianwine #italianwhite #chardyparty #yycwine #yegwine #winelife Consorzio di Tutela Barolo Barbaresco Alba Langhe e Dogliani Italian Wines - Vini Italiani Vino Langhe

Tame the spice ! What better way to do it than with Tightrope Winery Tip-Toe white blend and homemade Pad Thai. A drier ferment of Gewurztraminer, Semillon and Riesling. Beautiful nose of peach, mandarin and rose petal, followed by the bright green pear, apple and grapefruit. The bait and switch of thinking it will be sweet off the nose, but bright, tense and balanced through the palate. #bcwine #whitewine #yycwine #yegwine #thaicuisine #isolationkitchen BC Wine Naramata Bench Wineries Riedel - The Wine Glass Company Andres Felipe Herrera

Autumn afternoon, autumn snack Murrieta's Calgary of calamari and lightly breaded oyster mushrooms with a spicy mayo. What wine did you pair it with you ask?? With none other than the finest Pinot Noir from the Rheinhessen by #weingutfrey. Wild-fermented, aged in a mix of new and used French oak, coming out medium-bodied and delicious! #germanwine #germanredwine #spätburgunder #yycwine #yycfood #downtownyyc Downtown Calgary Wines of Germany Canada FoodYYC

Alright so here is the ideal autumn meal, a wicked 18 ounce Alberta Beef ribeye with farmers market roasted peppers and mushrooms. Paired it with the awesome single vineyard #elconjuro from Finca de los Arandinos | Bodega-Hotel Finca Los Arandinos. This stunning wine is full-bodied and lush, a blend of #tempranillo and #grenache and aged for 16 months in French oak. Dark, brambly fruit with blackberries, dark cherries, blueberries, baking spice and vanilla with a silky soft finish. #spanishwine #yycwine #yyclife #patiodays #autumn #riojawine Riedel - The Wine Glass Company Wines of Spain Foods & Wines From Spain

A killer BC wine combo for your Easter dinner plans from our friends Tightrope Winery. The crisp, dry and zippy Riesling and the splendid co-fermented Syrah is one of the finest examples of it in Canada! Both wines will roll well with your quarantine meal of choice...turkey, ham or roast. #easterdinner #easterwine #easterholidays #sunshine #naramatabenchwineries BCWI BCwineguy Naramata Bench Wineries
