We will be closed on Saturday, October 8th to enjoy the long weekend. We apologize for any inconvenience. We have just found that nobody wants to come in and bottle wine, they want to be drinking it…Cheers!
Are you looking forward to Thanksgiving weekend? We have dinner plans with friends and then the family feast of course with lots of different wine options. Click on the image of the turkey for an interesting online article with wine pairing suggestions to go with traditional meals that are cooked over the holidays.

What Do We Mean??
What do we mean when we describe a wine as light, medium or full bodied?? There are lots of ways to describe wines, like the flavour profile, level of oakiness or body. Body is the one that I get asked about the most….so, what is meant when we say light or full body. The best way I have heard it explained was to think of milk.
Skim or 1% milk – Light body
2% milk – Medium body
Homogenized 3.25% – Full Body
Cream – Port or Ice Wine
So, if you think about the way that different milks coat your tongue and taste…The heaver the milk, the more it stays on your tongue and fires your taste buds, so the flavour is more intense. Wine is the same. Consider this the next time you are reading descriptions of wine, hopefully it will help.
Smile!
Cheers!!!
