WORDS BY JOE GURBA
Rare Wine Report Many Albertans outside of the drinks business don’t realize how good we have it here for wine selection. We live in one of the best wine markets in the world. Every week we see a new wave of lovely and limited wines appear in our shops, however briefly, until those in the know snap them up.
This is a small sampling of the terroir driven wines you need to hunt down this month, wines made on small farms by true vignerons with that rare gift for gently translating nature into art. These wines are nourishing and artful records of another lap around the sun. As the Anchorman famously said, “it’s so hot out… milk was a bad choice.” You can say the same of big red wines. But with new vintages landing, now is the time to collect for your cellar so you’ll have those perfectly aged drops ready to comfort you when the long cold nights return. Here are three red wines you could drink this winter or lay down for several winters to come.
