Have you ever wanted to buy boutique wines, but you don't feel like traveling to the individual wineries? Have you ever thought about placing an online order at a winery, but not gone through with it because you don't meet the minimum order requirement? Look no further!

The last weekend of Days of Wine & Chocolate is here..... and lets face it, who doesn't love either wine or chocolate, or that perfect combination of BOTH!

The Wineries of Niagara on the Lake showcase a perfect pairing of a chocolate inspired tasty treat and one of their VQA wines!

While investing in wine may seem complex, it’s actually pretty simple. You purchase and store bottles or cases of wine and sell them for profit once the price has appreciated significantly several years later. With adequate research and capital, wine investing is something anyone can do.

Bring in some Holiday Cheer with the Perfect Wine

When you were little, you remember the days leading up to Christmas. You baked cookies with your parents in the hopes that old Saint Nicholas would bring some holiday cheer. When you woke up, the cookies would be gone and you would find glorious presents under the tree and a giant smile on your face. Well, as you grow older, you experience Christmas a little different. Now, you’re the one preparing for the holiday, wrapping presents for family and friends, and making sure everyone’s checking their list and checking it twice. So, how do you celebrate your hard work? Why not trade in the milk for some delicious wine?
