My philosophy is that any yahoo with a credit card can buy a great bottle of wine when money's no object, so the excitement for me comes from finding a great value, and sharing it with you. After all, a terrific wine is made better when shared with friends. (Same with cocktails!)

Wine of the Week - Glorioso Rioja Crianza



Playoffs came in like a lion last night, with the Canuck's game going into quadruple OT. I started off with a bottle of Granville Island Pale Ale, but quickly noticed an open bottle of Glorioso Rioja Crianza in the kitchen. Very smooth, easy tannins, juicy cherries, and some tobacco... but how would it go with the bowl of Munchies (Cheetos, Doritos, pretzels, and Sun Chips mixed together)? Surprisingly well! It's probably even better when the pairing doesn't include nuclear orange cheese powder, and for just $17 I'll definitely be buying this.
