Just a quick note to direct readers to the Spotlight Toronto Holiday Wine Guide. It's divided into regular wines and sparklies, and includes local and international picks: good values, great tastes and unexpected delights.
I'm feeling sort of humbled to have been chosen to contribute to the collection amongst the likes of sommelier and man-about-town Zoltan Szabo, wine writer Rick VanSickle; Krystina Roman of Rosewood Estates Winery & Meadery, writer Joel Wilcox, Steven Campbell (Grand Fromage) and Nicole Campbell (Petit Fromage) of Lifford Wine Agency, Sharon Marks of Nyarai Cellars, Nina Popovic of Spotlight Toronto, Alex Harber of Ravine Vineyard, Alexa Clark of CheapEats and food appreciator Edlynne Laryea.
It's a great group of people and a rather remarkable list of recommended bottles, with a fun, fresh, non-snooty approach. The attitude is possibly summed in in Steven Campbell's comment of a few days ago: "There is not much to know about wine. It tastes good, loosens the tongue and warms the heart. Drink and enjoy."
Meanwhile, head on over to Spotlight TO and find out why this assemblage of wine lovers is sending special holiday love to local wineries Lailey, Le Clos Jordanne, Inniskillin, Chateau des Charmes, Southbrook, Sandbanks, Fielding, Flat Rock, Creekside, Ziraldo, Angels Gate, Megalomaniac, Stratus and especially Malivoire.
