An all-new volume in the handy, offbeat Sipster's Pocket Guide series: 50 more Ontario wines under $50!
In the second installment in his series of offbeat guides to Ontario wines under $50 a bottle, wine expert and educator Luke Whittall offers 50 more personalized, approachable recommendations that ditch the usual wine-speak and focus instead on experiences, good company, and where a wine might take your thoughts . . . like The Simpsons and why we can't stop trying to outsmart spellcheck, the low-maintenance joy of Merlot and why Fumé Blanc is the car with all the extra options.
Divided into chapters on sparkling, white, rosé, red, and dessert wines, the latest volume of Sipster's is there for you in your moment of panic at the liquor store and when you need something to pair with that old Rheostatics album or a rope swing or the latest outburst of crocodile tears at your toddler's birthday party.
With all that plus some introductory remarks on wine writing as a separate beast from reviewing, and an outro that addresses the neo-temperance movement and what it has to offer the thoughtful sipster, Volume 2 hits a little different.
