Entertaining This Summer?

I don't know about you, but when I entertain I spend way too much time thinking about how many bottles and what types of wine I'll need for my gathering.

Well, the folks at Vinepair have taken the guesswork right out of the mix. Their nifty bottle calculator is a snap to use.

Try it out. Your guests will think you're amazing.

VISITING WINE COUNTRY?

Let us know if your summer plans include a trip to Prince Edward County wine country, or the Niagara region.

Wine Kitz Ottawa Iris is once again delighted to be able to offer our customers complimentary tasting tickets.

Again this year we've partnered with three wonderful wineries in Prince Edward County: The Grange, Sandbanks, and Huff Estates. I highly recommend a visit to all three.

For Niagara Region we have passes to both the Trius at Hillebrand and Peller Estates wineries (both of which are owned by Andrew Peller Ltd. which also owns the Wine Kitz brand.)

You know how much we love to give stuff away at Wine Kitz Ottawa Iris, so do drop in to pick up your passes for the region you'll be visiting.

Why not visit both regions?

You can bet I'll be doing just that!

10 SCIENTIFIC REASONS YOU SHOULD
DRINK MORE WINE
(really)

We all know that drinking wine in moderation is good for us, but we still like to be reminded about wine's health benefits and why wine can be a healthy component of a wholesome eating plan.

Cosmopolitan magazine has gathered together 10 great reasons for enjoying that glass of wine, along with the scientific research to support them. As Cosmopolitan says, "It's essentially MAGIC in a bottle".

WINE BOTTLE TORCHES

Pesky mosquitoes? Looking for outdoor ambience? We've got the answer for you. Instead of throwing away empty wine bottles (if there are any left after you've filled them up at Wine Kitz Ottawa Iris), you can make kick-ass tiki torches that will wow everyone.

These torches makes great gifts and will wow your friends and family with your artistic prowess.

I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy this Canada Day weekend. I love being Canadian, I love living in Canada's capital, and I love opportunities like this to celebrate and share my pride. We live in a truly wonderful country. It leaves my heart full.

Another lively month at Wine Kitz Ottawa Iris has found me busy wine tasting, food pairing and business networking, all for the purpose of making and keeping your customer service experiences exceptional. Our dedicated team of wine makers and wine lovers work hard seven days a week to ensure you have fabulous wine every single time.

I'm now looking forward to a bit of well-deserved down time during July where I plan to perfect the art of lounging by the water with good friends and good wine.

I hope you, too, will get an opportunity or two to wind down a bit this summer, kick back with friends and family, and share some great Wine Kitz wines around the lake, pool, patio or deck.

Cheers!
