Weihenstephaner wheat beer at Bros Beer Bistro Ottawa. Oldest brewery! Since 1040 AD. Aromatic, …
Aromatic, cloudy, citrus, spices. Smoke finish. Drop dead gorgeous. Quiet here in Ottawa after Oktoberfest @brosbeerbistro always a pleasure.
3 Mediterranean wines to savor. Blasón del Turra tempranillo, Piccini Chianti, Cedro Chianti Rufina Organic.
Blasón del Turra tempranillo, Piccini Chianti, Cedro Chianti Rufina Organic. One word on each in order: easy-drinking, nice acidity, impressive personality. In fine restaurants. Not in LCBO. Available also to the public from Wine Lovers Agency, Woodbridge, Ontario.
Viewpointe Cabernet Franc ’08 (Burgundy Label). Outstanding Lake Erie EPIC.
Medium plum red, stunning lively perfume of black cherries, blackberries, and forest floor, with leather, and fresh spring meadow. Medium-bodied, with silky smooth texture and a long finish. A brilliant wine. This ’08 follows the blockbuster “07, which is also still available. Both can be purchased directly from the winery.
Stogies on the front step.
A balmy 9 degrees C and Gosling’s Gold Bermuda Rum helped make it nice and toasty!

Quinta da Alorna Branco (White) 2011. Just the most lovely floral fresh bouquet with notes of pineapple, and delicate citrus. The wine comes across as approachable and luscious with a good mouth feel to balance the acidity and residual sweetness. via SimplyTweet
