Sometimes a glass of really good wine makes all the difference after a tough day (within reason of course!). As I'm in Canada, most of my favorites are more of the local wines here in my region (mainly Pinot Grigio or Gris, with some Rose/White Zinfandel mixed in). Unfortunately, I'm NOT a red wine fan, so I'm not able to truly recommend any good reds I'm afraid! But I will include a few other wines from other areas as well, that I have tried and liked. All my wine recs here are affordable wines (on average, under $15/bottle) and taste great (in my opinion) for the price. I've also included a section for some cool wine accessories/gift ideas for you or the other wine lovers in your life also :)
