And just like that, 2023 is coming to a close. So, to celebrate all that we've done this year, we're running down the top 7 posts for 2023, based on traffic, shares and views.
Enjoy reading and count down to number one with me.
7 - What is Phenolic Bitterness
Wine enthusiasts often find themselves navigating a complex world of flavours, aromas, and textures. Among the myriad elements that contribute to a wine's profile, one aspect that occasionally takes center stage is phenolic bitterness.

6 - What Wine Pairs With Mango Sour
We are back at it, looking at our Caribbean kitchen, focusing on what we love to eat, and deciding what wines work best when paired with them. Today, we are pairing wine with Mango Sour.

5 - What Wine Pairs With Callaloo
Most who are familiar with callaloo generally eat it as an accompaniment to something else, Callaloo and Saltfish, for example. That said, I have been known to sit down to a simple bowl of callaloo on its own, and it's the lone callaloo snack times when I get to wondering "what wine would pair nicely", hence this post.

4 - Corbieres Wine Region And Why You Need To Know It
One of the keys to finding deliciously striking yet affordable wines is understanding some of the lesser talked about wine regions and the wines they produce. From there, you source what that region does best, and I guarantee you that most of your go-to and repeat-buy wines will come from this exercise.

3 - Wine In A Can And What You Need To Know
Now that having a libation in the park is legal here in Toronto, we thought it only timely to share both our thoughts on canned wine, a few recommendations, and a whitty segment we did on the daytime television show called The Social.

1 - What Wine Pairs with Corned Beef A.K.A. Bully Beef
While hashing out the FriendsMas dinner for this past holiday, one friend piped up to talk about the price of food these days. Then one of us, in jest but partially largely due to nostalgia, said, "we should make bully beef and call it a day", and that is just what we did! We unscrewed a tin of Hereford Bully Beef and made magic happen!
