As specific as you like :) And can I say I do approve of you choice!

I can't say I ever tried Canadian wine. I might have, but I have memory span of a gold fish must be all the wine :) I'll definitely give them a try!

Chilean wines are great! You are wrong(ish) about the German ones - Riesling is dry, for example.

Sometimes I think I should be ashamed because I tend to buy boxed wine, but I just can't be bothered :) And hey - bottles are heavy and the don't last long!

P.S.: Grapes don't grow where I'm from :( It's a sad, sad life!

Oh, that's true - I do like Rieslings. And I've had some very good dry reds in Germany too, but I used to find those by going to wineries and asking for the driest red they had, and then buying whatever they presented to me - I never had any luck trying to pick them out in the grocery store myself.

Boxed wine can be good too! They also sometimes sell wine in tetra packs...which, um, doesn't look very classy either, but I've bought those before too.

Grapes don't grow in most of Canada, so Canadian wine isn't THAT big of a market. I feel like I should know more about BC wines, since grapes actually grow in BC...but I don't. I've been to the Mission Hill winery in the Okanagan and had some good wine there... I had a red that was actually a blend of 4 grapes (a Quatrain, I think they called it), and it was AMAZING, but it was also $40 a bottle and yeah... like I said, being unsophisticated about my wine is easier on the wallet.

Ooo! I did buy a Canadian bird chaser today :) Hope it works :) http://www.problemsolvers.com/garden-gadgets/scare-eyes-bird-chaser.htm

The best wine I ever had was G.H.Mumm champagne. And then of course a friend of mine had to say I should have bought Rosé, which is even more expensive :))))

[hells-half-acre.livejournal.com]

Well, that thing creeps me out, so that's one point in its favour!

When I was living in Germany, we got used to how inexpensive wine was - and one day we were making a recipe where one of the marinade ingredients was wine, but we didn't have any, we only had Rosé. So, we just decided to use Rosé... it turned out SO DELICIOUS... but it's something that I've never repeated now that I'm back in Canada, 1)because I rarely make that dish anymore, and 2)Rosé is so much more expensive here. :P

Le sigh :) Thank god I don't smoke - at least I can save up some money :)

Hope my neighbours won't mind the scarecrow thingie too much :)
