VINTURI ESSENTIAL WINE AERATOR
Release the full potential of your wine in no time at all. Decanting exposes wine to oxygen, which opens and extends the wine’ s aromas and flavours. Traditionally, decanting a fine wine takes place an hour or two before tasting. The Vinturi Essential Wine Aerator shaves hours off this prep time: simply hold the aerator over a glass and pour wine through. Vinturi draws in and mixes the proper amount of air, allowing your wine to breathe instantly. You will notice a better bouquet, enhanced flavour, and smoother finish immediately. Bravo Vinturi!

MEGALOMANIAC WINES
When John Howard originally announced that he was going to christen his wines with his own namesake, a friend accused him of being another megalomaniac winemaker. In Howard’ s words,“ Regrettably, the name stuck.” Megalomaniac wines, available exclusively at Banville & Jones, reflect the winery’ s humble personality: Sonofabitch Pinot Noir, My Way Chardonnay, Narcissist Riesling, Vainglorious Merlot / Cabernet, and Bravado Cabernet Sauvignon.
Megalomaniac is one of Howard’ s retirement projects, and it has become so successful, that it is funding another project that is close to his heart. Part of the proceeds from Megalomaniac wines go to an organization that Howard helped found. Kids Health Links provides secure software and laptops for children in long-term care or who are terminally ill.
At your next lakeside dinner party, cast off your humility and enjoy your megalomania guiltfree— and be sure to pass plenty of Sonofabitch around the table! Price: $ 19.99 – $ 31.99 www. banvilleandjones. com 23
