It has been a few weeks not writing. I have been working some pretty crazy hours lately which means no time to write. Which also means no quality time with my husband! This is why last night we decided to go out for dinner at Portovino Ristorante in the West Island of Montreal. It is a bring your own wine restaurant, which Jason and I did.

It was the first time in a while that we were able to just sit and enjoy dinner with no work distractions! Great wine, a nice dinner and fabulous company…my hubby!

We had reached a point where we were both super tired and overworked…so a night out like this is just what the doctor ordered. What we didn’t expect is to get tipsy over wine!!! The wine got to both of us which left us a tipsy and stranded at the restaurant! We both didn’t want to take a chance to drive even though we weren’t that bad. We didn’t to call up my brother for a lift and then we all went to enjoy Brian Setzer at the Montreal Jazz Festival.

Great and spontaneous night!! Do you have any other great and simple date ideas? Share them!!!

With spring in the air, I decided to pick a wine for the season. April’s wine comes from the Ernest & Julio Gallo estate in California, it’s a White Zinfandel which retails for just under $10!  Now I am usually not a big fan of rose wines but this one caught my eye. The colour matches the season and the taste is fresh and crisp. For a person who wants to start getting into wines this is a perfect choice. This wine has a easy yet fruity taste with no bitter after taste. The wine does taste like a wine and not a wine cooler. At 9.5% alcohol, you can enjoy a glass or two. Pick up a bottle and you will not be disappointed!

For the month of March, I decided to showcase a very nice Shiraz from the Mendoza province of Argentina called Fuzion. I went to the local liquor store with a $10 gift card and wanted to try and find a wine that my card would cover. I had seen Fuzion at a few Hall parties but never tried it. I thought to give this is a very inexpensive red a try. Retailing for under $9, it was a great buy. Regarding taste, for the price you are not getting an exceptional wine but you are getting a very nice tasting wine that is easy on the pallet and does not leave an after taste. You are really stretching your dollar with Fuzion! Just to add some stats, over the past 6 months, Fuzion, has grown in popularity, to the point that the LCBO in Ontario is selling 1,000 cases a day. I welcome you to visit your local liquor store and pick up a bottle. You will not be disappointed!
