Teaser | Vicarious | Winter 2023

So, that’s great, but where are you going to find a bunch of relics from a sommelier’s jewel sack? You can try their websites (all of them do ship) but you would have to buy an alternative, which I insist you do. If you do not wish to be taunted by my tasting experiences and memories any longer, I will tell you a secret. There is a wine that most of us can locate that goes by the title of Hidden Bench from the Lincoln Lakeshore of Niagara, Ontario, Canada. Their gamay lives in the seedy underground chatterings amongst sommeliers all along this country. It’s in almost every market. It is buzzing with juicy, MarshBerry pâte de fruits flavour. It is light, poignant, and refreshing in your mouth. It loves a turkey leg. I think you should enjoy your own personal brand of hygge and rest during the holidays, however that may look, even if the dining room table is in fact a TV dinner foldable tray. Or If you are grazing through the hallways of your workplace as a babydoll sheep. Or perhaps you are the bear ready to devour the cassoulet and the porridge and ritz and wear the cranberry sauce on your scruff. The skip to recipe is as follows: savour wine if you like, or savour solitude as though it were a tealight candle. You can also, if you prefer, savour the party as though it were a stuffed woodstove blazing with birch. Be safe and happy holidays.

PS With turkey, enjoy gamay or pinot noir. With ham, Riesling is nice. When in doubt, traditional Belgian sour beer is always a relaxing, quiet pastime and it fits well in a Champagne tulip.
