I love the fall (sweater weather): we feel the crisp air that smells fresh, we eat ripe, deeply flavoured produce and sense a renewed vigour to learn, travel and taste life.
If you'd like to dive deeper into wine this fall, consider that book to your left :) Unquenchable: A Tipsy Search for the World's Best Bargain Wines combines stories about hilarious winemakers and gorgeous, remote vineyards with practical how-to tips on how to find those wines in your liquor store and pair them with sumptuous meals.

Today's wine picks feature 2008 Bordeaux, silky Pinot Noir from New Zealand and some terrific Californian Chardonnay.
In honour of the Toronto Film Festival, I've also included my favourite movie moment with wine below.
