ABOUT


I wanted to write more, to create a little discipline; I wanted to keep learning about wine, when I wasn’t in classes, I wanted to share some of what I've learned and entice others with it... therefore this blog. 

My name is Holly Bruns, and I am the writer, and drinker, behind this blog.

When I’m not writing and drinking, I’m working and living in Ottawa, Ontario. Sometimes I’m cooking which also happens to be a pastime; I spend lots of time in my newly renovated kitchen. My blog features what I'd call casual wines, wines in the under $20 range, because that's what we can afford to put on our table and because there is a lot of decent, inexpensive wine to be had. I also never come home from the liquor store without a few bottles of Ontario wine.

Hopefully you find something here you like, you can afford, and that you decide to put in your wine glass.
