Wine'n Down Adam Smith

What's better than friends buying friends some wine to celebrate the launch of ANOTHER podcast? Well in our books that is tops, so thanks to Katie and Katie of Prosecco and Paperbacks for the vino! Led by the wine itself, we chat local terroir before an unexpected turn knocks us off balance in our tasting! Pardon the rust!

We're back and ready to chat more wine! We explain our podcasting absence with some exciting news and recap an exciting honeymoon in two of Canada's top wine regions! All the while sipping on some great wine nabbed along the way!

Are we getting a little more adventurous with our wine selection? Well, this week isn't a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon, but instead a unique and challenging Petit Sirah! What is a Petit Sirah? Great, questions, and one that we needed to answer, too! Brush up on this very globally small (ironic) grape varietal and sip along!

A more thorough walkthrough with Cabernet Sauvignon was needed after our episode 10 taste test, and here it is! A stellar recommended and donated bottle of California Cabernet Sauvignon has our jaws dropped and palates impressed! Plus a solid breakdown of what any new wine drinker (like us!) should know about one of the most popular wines in the world!

With plenty to celebrate these days for us, as tongue and cheek as that may be, there was nothing more fitting that some fancy flutes of Pelee Island Lola Blush sparkling wine! The perfect chiller on a hot day and fitting beverage for a Sunday brunch! Come get our rankings and gradings for this innovative selection!

What better way to mark the first milestone episode of Wine'n Down than with a Cabernet Sauvignon blind taste test! Adam challenges Alysha to breakdown two very different Cab Sauvs and pick her favourite. The choice: an American favourite vs. one of Chile's most innovative wineries!
