Favourite grape or wine region?

Chardonnay, I suppose.

Are you a dog or cat person? Or maybe neither. Maybe you have birds or turtles or an ant farm?

Love cats. I have 2 dogs.

Anything else you want to add?

I have an incredible wife and we are gifted with two children that we couldn’t be more proud of. The three of them keep my heart full.

Jason MacLeod's Picks

Thanksgiving Picks

What a great wine as we transition into autumn.  Medium bodied and showcasing a velvety texture, this Cabernet Franc sees 16 months aging in used oak and concrete.  Proprietor Guillaume Reynouard took over this winery in 1995 and quickly converted to organic farming.  In 2010, he became certified biodynamic.  Guillaume crafts honest wines that helps showcase the clay/limestone terroir of Saumur.  This wine is nicely balanced with its lip smacking acidity and chalky tannins.  With concentrated flavours of red fruit and a hint of earthiness, this is easily paired with your harvest dinner.
