A handy, decidedly un-stuffy guide to 50 of the best Ontario wines under $50 a bottle. In this handy portable guide to the top 50 Ontario wines under $50 a bottle, wine expert and educator Luke Whittall abandons the usual language of tasting notes in favour of a more personalized, approachable style, focusing on experiences, good company, and where a wine might take your thoughts. As a wine industry professional, Whittall has often found himself inspired more by the way non-professionals talk about wine than the “hints of fresh cherries, dried herbs, and soupçons of eucalyptus” style typical of traditional wine writing. Sipster’s Pocket Guide describes the experiences bound up in the tasting of 50 of the most amazing wines this province has produced, including reds, whites, rosés, sparkling, and dessert wines. With offbeat pairings that leapfrog from Frank Sinatra to truffle brie, digital detox to charcuterie, and an index of attitudes that lets you choose a wine based on your mood (be it cottage country or campus house party, accessible or argumentative) it’s anything but stuffy. Before you head to the liquor store to deliberate over your next sip, take a glance through Sipster’s.

An all-new volume in the handy, offbeat Sipster’s Pocket Guide series: 50 more Ontario wines under $50! In the second installment in his series of offbeat guides to Ontario wines under $50 a bottle, wine expert and educator Luke Whittall offers 50 more personalized, approachable recommendations that ditch the usual wine-speak and focus instead on experiences, good company, and where a wine might take your thoughts . . . like The Simpsons and why we can’t stop trying to outsmart spellcheck, the low-maintenance joy of Merlot and why Fumé Blanc is the car with all the extra options. Divided into chapters on sparkling, white, rosé, red, and dessert wines, the latest volume of Sipster’s is there for you in your moment of panic at the liquor store and when you need something to pair with that old Rheostatics album or a rope swing or the latest outburst of crocodile tears at your toddler’s birthday party. With all that plus some introductory remarks on wine writing as a separate beast from reviewing, and an outro that addresses the neo-temperance movement and what it has to offer the thoughtful sipster, Volume 2 hits a little different.

The eagerly awaited second installment in the offbeat BC wine guide the Vancouver Sun calls “the perfect go-to.” Following on the popularity of Volume 1, which the Vancouver Sun called “the perfect go-to guide,” the second installment of The Sipster’s Pocket Guide brings the same offbeat, lateral thinking and experiential focus to a whole new batch of BC wines. Wine expert and educator Luke Whittall shares his love of and sense of humour about the industry as he presents his top 50 wines under $50 (including many under $30). With food and activity pairings that range from romantic to radical (berry-laced desserts and long-distance relationships, poached salmon and puns, hot dogs and off-grid living), and an index of attitudes that let you choose a wine based on your mood (be it drill sergeant or rancher, pastoral or paisley), the Sipster’s guides are anything but stuffy. Divided into chapters on sparkling, white, rosé, red, and dessert wines, the book finishes up with a beginner’s guide to grape varieties in BC and a primer on the grand cru designation and how it pertains to our province. Sipster’s Volume 2 is the perfect companion for that on-the-fly wine purchase and for those who want to dig a little deeper. Learn about classics like Pinot Grigio, how Chardonnay in BC almost went the way of Merlot post-Sideways, and how to not only find but also pronounce a great Siegerrebe.
