You won't find anyone who knows wines as well as Richard at Metrovino... okay maybe you will, but I haven't and he helped me pick out an "off-dry" German riesling (one might think that would make it slightly moist, but actually it's slightly sweet).

There's a new wine store in town. As of today, it's been open for a total of 9 days. Is there a brand you can't find in Calgary that you'd love to have someone carry? Tell these guys. They're still stocking their shelves and left an open invite for…More »

A good wine shop is becoming easier to find in Calgary. As one who is very much still an elementary student in the world of wines, this makes me very happy. The extra education and recommendations from shop owners make me want to keep learning more…More »

I have three words for you. Watermelon Caprese Salad. And two more. Cheese Fondue. Then one more. OMG.

I had only ever been to The Living Room before for cocktails and wine. This time, it was the latter, but also food. It was not a cheap evening, but…More »

Dear Inglewood Wine Market,

I love how simple you make selecting a wine. Your tags with suggested food pairings for every bottle on your shelves had my mind imagining all kinds of home-cooked creations as I was perusing your inventory. It's especially…More »

  Update - 9/3/2011

I had THE BEST time at Vin Room yesterday. It was sooooo good, in fact, that I just had to upgrade my review from a 5 start to, well.. a 5 star. Have you read any reviews that wished they could give a biz 0 stars? The same feeling works in the…More »

Dear Brasserie... this review's been a long time coming.

Whenever someone asks me what my favourite resto in Calgary is, it's without an ounce of hesitation that I reply "Brasserie Kensington." It's an ideal mixture of great service, quality food, an…More »

Hold on just one gosh darned tootin' minute. Another wine store open in Calgary? How many of them do we possibly need? About as much as we need another cool restaurant to eat in... read: a lot! With each boutique wine store comes another palette…More »
