This final episode of this series is a wrap-up on the 4 wines we tasted, plus a review of how well the wines held up after two days (you'll hear a little musical interlude to delineate the segments.) Yes, we both had LEFTOVER WINE!! When does that ever happen? Well, I can't always drink an entire bottle of wine myself in one evening, so I have to have a way of keeping it for 2-3 days. In the moment, neither Hilary nor I could come up with the name of the little pump thingy to suck the air out of the bottle, but I've now remembered that it's called "Vacu-Vin." It's inexpensive, and a great way to help make your wine last a little bit longer. We also talk about a few other options, from cheap to expensive, to save your wine for later.
We also ramble on about BC vs. Ontario wines, a favourite blend of ours called "Meritage" (rhymes with "heritage") and how we are both going to try drinking some wines in the $9-12 range to see if we can find some new "cheap and cheerful" bottles.
Cheers, everyone!
