03 · 01Wine Prepares to Go Local
The Vancouver International Wine Festival has come and gone, with French producers putting on a reasoned and informative display of why terroir matters at the 42nd wine show. The coronavirus was the talk of the show as international travel and wine shows have come to a halt across Asia and Europe and will no doubt do the same in North America. As the wine world begins to prepare for an extended period of staying at home, we offer you daily updated tasting notes, more videos, and food ideas to keep you going until you can get back to wine country. Allison Spurrell, our resident cheese expert, has given us yet another reason to buy cheese this month with a story on Delice de Bourgogne. You can catch all our French short films on our YouTube channel. If you have not yet signed up for our newsletter, please do, so you don’t miss another edition. ag

Even though you can't physically travel to most wine regions right now, it doesn't mean you can't be transported there by what's in your glass. That's one of the most tremendously powerful things about wine: the ability to reach your senses, trigger memories, and instantly remind you of places, people, meals, times, experiences. We're going to continue our Top 10 Series focus on places and producers that we might not be to visit for a while, outside of our glasses. Remember to ask for these wines at your local independent wine store whenever possible...Read More ...

Cheese Pleaseby: Allison Spurrell
