It’s been awhile since I’ve sat down at Southbrook to do a proper tasting. I think it’s one thing I take advantage of as a consumer in Toronto – we have a handful of wineries that have become mainstays at our various Farmer’s markets. I always look forward to finding...
2018 Kacaba Unoaked Chardonnay – $15.95 – LCBO 326975THUMB UP – MICHAEL … André I know this is your white grape of choice, hell if you weren’t already married I believe you’d walk a Chardonnay grape down the aisle, and while this is not my style of Chardonnay I can...
Michael and André lament the end of the holiday season by talking about some of their favourite wines from over the past month.
In late December I needed to get out of the city before Christmas. The day I spent tasting was having the rare opportunity to show someone new around wine country. Reflecting on the twelve years that I’ve been living in Ontario it’s remarkable to see the dramatic increase in quality...
Michael and André took a bit of time to check out the Sparkle and Ice gala in Niagara on the Lake. André checked out the Icewine Gala in Niagara Fall the previous week. It’s been an Icewine filled January for the guys.

It’s time for another episode of our very popular Stump the Chump. This time we head south of the border with friend of the podcast Farrah Felten-Jolley of Klinker Brick located in Lodi.
And now the exciting conclusion of old wines. When our heroes left off André was heading to his cellar to open up a bottle of Chateau La Confession… did the bottle make it to the table?
It’s our last podcast of 2019. Michael and André take a moment to reflect on their year tasting wine. Oh – and they empty the swear jar.
This past summer I had an opportunity to interview Andrzej Lipinski for Two Guys Talking Wine to get his history on tape. What wasn’t reflected in the interview was the number of wines I had the opportunity to taste. When you start tasting through wines with Andrzej it’s like hanging...
It’s one of the last times the guys get together for 2019 – somehow the conversation ended up on the topic of Old Wine. At least they didn’t talk about wine scores.
Here’s a trio of bottles form Huff Estates. It’s fascinating how wineries that have specific sites at their disposal can make magic wines that are in-duplicatable. The South Bay vineyard from Huff is one of those locations. The Chardonnay is always a slam dunk – but I don’t know why...
