Top 10 New Year's Resolutions.

Top 10 New Year’s Resolutions.

Top 10 New Year’s Resolutions

1) We will, no matter how painful or arduous, dedicate ourselves to

fulfilling our doctor’s orders of having one glass of red wine per day…
Got to keep the ticker healthy!

2) We promise to never drink any wine before its time!

3) Our new found love for hiking will continue with a promise to scale
another peak, another mountain. Macchu Pichu this year, Angels Landing before… whats next?  Mount Everest,Mount Kilimanjaro anyone?

4) YES!!! Yet another reason to continue to enjoy our red wine! Keep the
Pinot Noir coming, one of the top grapes for “resveratrol” composition!

A glass of red will give you about 640 mg of resveratrol. Resveratrol is a
naturally occurring antioxidant found in the skin of red grapes. Research
has shown that resveratrol can reduce or slow down certain signs of aging.

Let’s pull a Jack Benny, 39 AGAIN! Fill her up… Actually not quite, leave
enough room to swirl, about 1/6 to 1/4 the volume of the glass, depending on
the size of the glass.Swirl,sniff and savour!

5) Discover a new wine, a new grape or a new region at least once a week and
tweet to our friends.

6) Write a book…

7) Continue to explore organic and biodynamic local wines to help reduce our carbon
footprint.

8) We love connecting with fellow wine lovers, enthusiasts and wine novices
around the world, our goal is to try to bring the world of wine together,
one person at a time, one tweet at a time, one sip at a time!

9) This year be a part of the annual Beaujolais Race! We’re working on it…

10) And finally for the Top Ten’s #1 New Year’s Resolution….we promise to
continue to spread our playful approach and wine tasting philosophy to the
most unsuspecting wine aficionado!

Every day presents a new opportunity to be the best we can be, enjoy,
embrace and be challenged. As Oprah says “Cheers to a new year and another
chance for us to get it right”. We’re with you Oprah, live, learn and live
what you learn!

Coming up on today’s show “Out of the ordinary, but quite extraordinary”… that is our theme this week. We have got some really cool things we’re going to talk about…including a very unique and different style of growing grapes on a volcanic island… I’ll bet you, you have never heard of this or seen it before, it is really really quite something,  we’re also going to talk about two very different styles of dining… including dining in the dark.

Our first guest will be the founder of the restaurant O’Noir located in the fabulous city of Montreal, where you dine in complete darkness, no candles, no cell phones, no luminous watches… nothing…this style of dining is all the rage in Europe, New York, LA and now in Canada! So we’ll get the scoop and get enlightened on this culinary experience when the founder Leo of O’Noir joins us.

The other unique style of dining… are you ready for this? Dining on dirt, gourmet dirt that is…another foodie trend,  one of the newest things in haute cuisine. We speak with the founder and  Chef of the restaurant Actinolite, named “ one of the most essential places to eat  in Ontario if not all of Canada” Justin Cournoyer, will share his thoughts on this trend, why he searches out soil near maples and pines, what he does with that soil and who not all dirt is created equal… and we’ll hear first hand why so many are flocking to his restaurant…that Justin Cournoyer coming up

And to the volcanic island of Santorini, Greece, and their seductive delicious wines  where the vineyards look like a field of rows upon  rows of baskets! Not a basket case at all, … rather quite unique and brilliant the way they have the vines intertwined and woven like a basket that protects the luscious grapes… To tell us all about it we speak with Konstantinos Rampaounis of the Kolonaki Group, a prominent Toronto wine agency specializing in Greek wine.

And finally also trending huge these days, Food Trucks!  We’ll chat with the founder of the Feisty Jack Food Truck, named one of the TOP 10 Food Trucks in Toronto, British cuisine, its more than you think, not just bangers and mash, although they have that too  and also  the first Hybrid Food Truck-Restaurant in Toronto… … all this coming up….

This healthy, speedy BBQ dish, dishes up huge flavour and packs a punch with secret ingredient that keeps you young! Personal trainer and guru Darrin Robinson of EMERGE Lifestyle grills up a super dish that includes a glass of wine too… a skinny wine that delivers big on taste, little in calories!

ASK THE WINE LADIES…

Dear Wine Ladies,

My partner and I are just getting acquainted with wine and are wondering if
the terms aroma and bouquet are interchangeable? Secondly does the length of
wine refer to its age ability?
