Dear Bacchus, December 7, 2012

Tomorrow is the last wine picks for this year, and it's a big one: lots of wines for holiday entertaining and gift-giving.

Maclean's Magazine published a great piece on why Ontario wines are so good these days. If you're dining out during the holiday season, these tips from a CBC interview on bring your own bottle (BYOB) may be helpful.

There's also advice on finding bargain bottles for the holiday season in this column from the Providence Journal, which also reviews Unquenchable.

It's been an inspiring week listening to the stories of speakers at Canada's Most Powerful Women summit. Soooo looking forward to wine time this evening. Have a good one!
