Take The Wine Sisters Home This Christmas! We don’t want to pressure you, but Christmas is only a few sleeps away. Have you got your holiday shopping done yet? No? Have you seen the mall parking lot? Save yourself the holiday hassle and give The Wine Sisters this Christmas! From private tastings to cellar management,...
So we are now safely in to the 12 days of Christmas and the count down is on to the Big Day! If you still have shopping to do, a day in the mall will certainly have you reaching for one of these bottles – or maybe all of them. Because this is a time...
Ok, maybe not a tree… it was the 58th unfinished floor of the Trump Tower in downtown Toronto. A 13-thousand square foot penthouse suite with a sweeping views of all sides of the city, and 20-foot plus soaring cathedral ceilings. Even under the scaffolding and exposed electric cable, it still reverberated easy opulence, and perhaps...
Now that the cooler weather is upon us, we’re diving into rich, luscious red wines, and some elegant whites, as well. You can tell we’re moving into the holiday season as there are a number of fantastic wines punching above the $25 class, but we’ve also thrown in a few Tuesday night under $20 sippers...
Shameless self promotion time. Remember our blog detailing the three days we spent as judges for InterVin? Well, the fruit of our labour is finally out and on news stands now! With the release of the magazine, a grand launch party announcing this year’s Winery of the Year was held in downtown Toronto … and...

It’s Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada, one of my favourite holidays of the year (this is Erin, by the way). I absolutely love the bounty and beauty of the season, celebrated with lots of good food and wine, surrounded by the people I love the most – and a few who I like reasonably enough,...
It seems we’re all just a little skeptical of big business, right? It’s far cooler to shop at your local farmer’s market than Loblaws, you’re a better person for buying your latte from the hipster barrista place down the street than Starbucks, and you show everyone how serious your are about wine when you select...
As we move into September, we have a good mix of wines to warm the cockles of your heart on cool early autumn evenings, plus a few refreshing thirst quenchers as cling desperately to the dwindling days of warmth and bright sunshine. The LCBO is preparing for its biggest annual release of Ontario wines in...
Purple tongues & sore teeth. Our story of Judging at InterVin. When we told friends we were headed to Niagara for three days to judge the InterVin wine competition, they didn’t feel sorry for us.
