Cool Chardonnay + Hot Red Wines for Summer

Hi Bacchus,

July 18, 2014

Tomorrow's wine picks features some spectacular new red wines for your grilled meat as well as cool climate chardonnays for fresh seafood and salad.

Everybody's happy.

This shopping list tells you how many bottles are in stock at your closest liquor stores. Plus sneak peak: August 2 reviews.

The new wine mobile app that we launched last month has had a staggering number of downloads: thank-you!

We chat about why wine is the perfect product category for smartphone apps in the Canadian Press video (lower left), a wine education series of articles and videos posted on the daily newspaper sites across the country.

Makes sense: Do you make most of your wine buying decisions behind a desktop computer at home? Nope.

A wine app is your pocket sommelier, right there with you in the liquor store as you stand in front of a wall of bottles: instant access and answers as to which wines you'll love.

You'll find more tips and posts on wine cellars, whether you're starting out with one rack or planning to design the underground den of Dionysus.

Enjoy this gorgeous weekend!
