One of the highlights of my summer so far was sitting down with Kevin Panagapka to taste through the wines for my podcast. I vividly remember tasting my first Chardonnay from him – it was at one of the media tastings hosted by the LCBO. But it was stunning –...
Two Guys Talking Wine · Nicolas Potel from Burgundy – Episode 202 André and Michael have a chance to chat with Nicolas Potel of Maison de Bellene. They wanted to talk about some very interesting old wines that have made their way onto the market in Ontario… but they got...
It’s been a little while since I’ve been to Adamo estates – but I think about their wines often. If you haven’t had a chance to visit the winery it’s definitely worth the visit. As someone who frequently visits Niagara and Prince Edward County – it’s hard to imagine planning...
Michael and André sit down with Ilya and Nadia Senchuk of Leaning Post wines. They talk about the origin of the winery – and they taste (surprise, surprise) Chardonnay. Two Guys Talking Wine · The Origin Story of Leaning Post – Episode 201
Thank you to everyone who has listened to the podcast to date. This is our 200th episode! Doesn’t time fly when you’re having a good time? Appropriately enough André forces Michael to talk about Chardonnay for the 100th time. Two Guys Talking Wine · Chardonnay Manifesto – Episode 200
We’re getting close to what would have been I4C 2020 – the tenth installment of my Christmas in July. While I’m sad to be missing it this year. I thought I would take this opportunity to write my own ode to Chardonnay. I think for many people when you open...
In our final podcast where we tasted through the Bachelder Violette Release we look at Pinot Noir. This is the third part of our series with Thomas – we hope you enjoyed them. Two Guys Talking Wine · Thomas Bachelder makes good Pinot Noir – Episode 199
Obviously this spring, I haven’t had a chance to spend as much time in Niagara as I normally do – especially when the vineyards come to life. With so much selection it’s hard to spend as much money at each winery as I would like. But one wine that is...
Two Guys Talking Wine · 2027 Cellars has a Retail Store – Episode 198 As the wineries have re-opened why not check out one of the new guys on the block? If you’ve heard this podcast before you know that we’re fans of Kevin Panagapka and 2027 Cellars. We taste...
I have been fortunate enough to enjoy a lot of great wines during this pandemic. Some of the high points have been the sparkling wines from Featherstone. For my wife’s birthday I opened my oldest bottle of Joy from 2009. Before the pandemic required us to spend more time at...
2010 Clos Maragnac – $27.95 – Vintages 11655 – **** This isn’t so much a tasting note as what I did when I opened this wine. I prepared a sashimi bowl for dinner – with the intention of drinking this wine that particular evening. I have said on my podcast...
It’s been remarkable to see how the wineries have found ways to connect with their consumers during this pandemic – I feel very fortunate for the winemakers and winery owners that have taken the time to speak with us. The latest edition of the online tastings has us sitting down...
