So great to see the Hired Bellytoday at the Gambero Rosso tasting. #foodlover #winetaster

Price corrections: Apologies for the $19.99 price issues in the Vancouver Sun this week. It is on me. Tormaresca Trentangeli Castel del Monte is listed at $29.99, not $19.99, and the Tenuta di Calamaia Vino Nobile Montepulciano 2019 is $42.99, not $19.99. They remain fine wines.

Should be a great game tonight in Vancouver, such a shame we have to listen to Cuthbert and Simpson. It’s a good reason to cheer for the Leafs to go deep so Shorty could call the game. #HNIC

And Simpson goes quiet.

I enjoyed a recent tasting w Ricardo Tedeschi. He’s among a small group of Amarone producers bringing a fresher perspective to the market. Expect more red fruit nuances and flavours, fresher acidity and lower alcohol. It’s a welcomed tweak to this venerable Italian category.

Canucks white wash the Flyer, one of the toughest teams after the whistle in the NHL at their home opener, but we can’t enjoy it for a minute. We have to go right to the New York Islander game. Sportsnet so seriously out of touch. #HNIC #sn

Good night Leafs 3.5 hours is enough. Next up 3 hours of Sid the Kid. Its not easy to watch hockey anymore.
