Some places get awards for wine lists as bulky as the phone book, but I prefer to see content, a friendly layout and some creativity. Buchanan’s Chop House & Whiskey Bar in Calgary not only does well in all these categories but adds humour too. Wine and category descriptions are wonderfully amusing and accurate. Cave Spring Reserve Riesling is described as being ‘Probably the only reason to keep Ontario in our glorious Dominion.’ Check out the winelist at www.buchanans.ca
