Wino Wednesday: Rennie G

IMG_20182-e1334406211406

I normally never drink red wines from Canada – there I admitted it. I am a bad Canadian but I also don’t like reds out of the US either. But Rennie ‘G’ changed my attitude about all that. This is the best combination of a full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon and Cab Franc with an equal part blend of Merlot grapes.  It feels like the best of classic French Cab mashed up with a South American Malbec. This is a lavish and showy red wine with big, concentrated layers of black currants, cherries, raspberries, earth and spices. Serve it at your next dinner party and be surprised when people, say what? This is a Canadian red? Yup, and damn proud of it.

Available through Pour Niagara.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
