Anything that is that involves social distancing, staying at home and up-ing my chance of <em>not<\/em> catching Covid19. I\u2019m protecting my mother!

So life has changed \u2013 maybe forever.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s any consolation, the sales of wine, beer and cheap spirits are up. I guess you could say it\u2019s good news for suppliers and retailers and one way to protect ourselves from the virus. My hope is it also translates to some economy for individuals who continue to work hard to keep us supplied.

Here\u2019s why! I recently started a 505 Happy Hour \u2013 What are you sipping? Zoom call. It starts at 5 pm (PST) and is under way by 5:05 hence the name. It\u2019s open to anyone who wants to share what is in their glass. Many wine friends join the call sipping something local \u2013 the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frindwinery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Frind Estate<\/a> Viognier, Sperling Amber Pinot Gris, Blue Grouse Quill Gamay, Clos du Soleil Capella, Sychromesh Pinot Noir, Lightening Rock Blanc de Blanc, Black Hills Syrah \u2013 quality wine supporting the local wineries. Well done people! Others are digging into their cellars chasing a bottle that they have decided is perfect for quarantine \u2013 Pahlmeyer Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, Trefethen Riesling, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bcliquorstores.com\/product\/675843\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tormaresca<\/a>, and Silvio Nardi\u2019s Manachiara Brunello di Montalcino.<\/p>\n<p>What I\u2019ve learned is: I can\u2019t drink a bottle a day; the wine I can\u2019t finish will last a few days in the fridge regardless of whether it\u2019s red, white, rose or sparkling \u2013 if it\u2019s good quality; leftover wine comes in handy when cooking \u2013 and we are all cooking, aren\u2019t we?<\/p>\n<p>My recent purchases include a trip to the BC Liquor Store to stock up for Southern Italian Reds \u2013 an online wine session with Mark Shipway. The Southern Italian reds are a bargain at the BC Liquor store ranging in price from $12.99 to $21.99 with grape varieties like Aglianico, Negroamaro, Nero d\u2019Avola, Primitivo and regions like Campania, Puglia and Sicily. These tasty rustic styles are packed with black and red fruit with spice and herbs that suit barbeque burgers and pasta with meat sauce (which is where I add my leftover wine). \u00a0Take your pick.

The aromas and flavours of black fruit (bramble, berry, cherry), earth and spice (licorice) where supported by bright acidity in good balance with 14% alcohol, persistent intensity and nice complexity leading to a lingering finish.
