always been a pretty big hit amongst our circle of friends. We're having a few friends over tonight so I picked up a couple of bottles of wine and figured I should share what I purchased with my friends in the blogosphere. I bought Rob's favourite tried, tested, and true Castano Monastrell for a red which I've written about before here is the link. It is really reasonably priced, full-bodied and deliciously fruity. In Saskatoon it comes to $11.11 per bottle. We bought a bottle of this while my mom was in toontown visiting us and she said she really liked it (We must have a similar palate because we often like the same wines) so this wine has been mommy approved!I also purchased a bottle of Dienhard Piesporter Riesling which is quite a bit sweeter than I usually buy but I know it'll go really well with the cheeses I also bought for tonight. My friend Erika and I went over to this great little shop in Saskatoon called the Bulk Cheese Warehouse and picked up some fabulous cheeses and smoked salmon to go with the wine. It should be a fun night with some great people!
See you soon!
Cheers,
Andrea
P.S. There's a really good chance that our "Wine and Cheese" party will eventually turn into a strobelight dance party. Thanks Ian for lending us your dance party kit while you are out of town!

I'm glad I stumbled upon your blog, its fun to read. I was just wondering what cheese you bought to go with your riesling? I've got a bottle of zilliken riesling sitting in my wine cooler and its also a sweet one. Its wife's fav and she wants to get cheese to go with it.
I posted on your blog
Hey, sweetie:
Tried an Argentinian Malbec last week called "Funky Llama" it wasn't bad, also easy on the wallet. What can you tell me about Malbec?
