Damn Fine Wine

Dan    Thoughts     awesome, drinks, wine

I don’t often venture into the territory of recommending wines, but I feel as though this particular little ‘devil’ deserves some recognition. The Velvet Devil (merlot) is a product of Charles Smith Wines, a company which was was named ‘Winemaker of the Year’ in 2009 by Food & Wine’s American Wine Awards.

First recommended by a sommelier friend of mine, The Velvet Devil has become a regular visitor to my house-hold, and, dare I say, my favourite wine. It’s appropriately fruity, earthy, and at a very reasonable $20-$25 price tag (depends where you pick it up in Calgary), I think it’s definitely worth inviting to one of your dinner parties.

If red wine isn’t really your thing you can try out their Kung Fu Girl (reisling) or the Eve (chardonnay). They also do not disappoint.
