Lemony Sundried Tomato and Artichoke Pasta Happy Back to School Week! Or should we say, Happy Back to Traffic Is A Mess, TTC Is Over-Crowded, Late for the 3rd Day in a Row, My Life Has Turned Upside Down Week. Whether you have kiddies or not, or are going back to school yourself, this time...
You’ll notice we’ve been making quite a few changes around here this week – we’ve launched Wine 101 Wednesdays, Thirsty Thursdays and now, we’re kick-starting our Friday series, Wine for the Weekend. This weekly entry was inspired by you: we wanted to give you something to grab on the way home from work. Something delicious,...
We’ve started a new thing here on our blog. While we are firmly now, and will remain, The Wine Sisters, we’ve also been known to indulge in a cocktail or two (or five). In fact, you’ll often see Erin’s cocktail musings over on theloop.ca as the resident wine and drinks writer. So, we think it’s...
From what we’re seeing on social media, it appears today is Cabernet Day. However, a bit of research also suggests tomorrow and Saturday also own the rights to this prestigious honour, so maybe this is the start of Cabernet 3 Days? Either way, we never like to miss out on a party and since what...
Legs noun \ˈleg also ˈlāg\ Lately at wine tastings the subject of legs, or tears, has come up. It’s probably among our Top 3 questions we’re most asked: what do legs signify, anyway?

It’s taken us the better part of a week to write this blog post. Not because we were at a loss for what wines we would like to talk about, but because the weather went from rainy and chilly in the low teens, to sunny and hot and over 30℃ with the humidity. And, at...
We are so excited to announce The Wine Sisters (that’s us), will be hosting a tutored tasting at Savour Stratford. Under the banner, “Unique Ontario Wines” we’re exploring varietals outside the province’s popular Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling categories. With one wine from each of Ontario’s four major growing region on the table, we think...
So Canada Day is here again, eh? What a fabulous long weekend: smack in the middle of summer (eeek – already?!?!) this weekend almost guarantees fabulous weather and – even better – it is generally comes with a slew of invitations to cottages, barbecues and pool parties. All good things in our book. Even though...
It’s always nice to drink with a theme, don’t you think? So when Earth Day rolls around, it seems appropriate to thumb through the bottles available and cherry pick the sustainable, organic and/or biodynamic wines. As we mentioned when talking about wines for Earth Hour, many wineries are opting for organic and sustainable practices, as...
Easter is part of our Top 3 Favourite Holidays. It seems to mark the true start of spring for us: the festive tulips and voluptuous hydrangeas, the (usually) bright sunshine, the pretty dresses and lighter attitudes. And don’t forget the feast: we love how Easter, much like Thanksgiving, in our family, is all about food...
