Dear Bacchus, November 8, 2013

This tweet caught my eye this morning: "Lord, give me coffee to change the things I can, and wine to accept the things I can't."

If you're looking for serenity in a bottle, tomorrow's wine picks has many divine reds and whites.

The focus is on gift wines for the holidays, as well as dessert wines for those sugar plums that'll be dancing in your head.

You can get the text shopping list that shows the stock for each wine in your closest liquor stores.

You can also take a sneak peak at my top picks for the November 23 Release.

The editors of Chatelaine, Canada's largest magazine, recently hosted their first dinner party in the Chatelaine Kitchen (pictured left). It was a dazzling display of food and wine pairing. You can see the pictures and videos at the link above.

Cheers,
Natalie
