Ferox Finds a Permanent Home - Rancourt Sold.
If you haven’t been to Niagara on the Lake lately – you’re really missing out. Over the past few years there has been something of a renaissance taking place here – and we’ve been spending so much time focusing on Prince Edward County (deservedly so – there’s amazing things happening...
Wine Review BONUS - 2016 Cave Spring Indian Summer Riesling - 2017 Inniskillin Riesling Icewine
2016 Cave Spring Indian Summer Riesling – vintages 415901 – $24.95 – **** – This is one of my go-to wines when I have a hankering for Icewine but I don’t have the budget to get the real deal. Cave Spring always over delivers with this nice balanced (for a...
Wine Review - 2016 Cave Spring Estate Bottled Chardonnay Musqué - 2013 Tawse Laundry Vineyard Cabernet Franc
2016 Cave Spring Estate Bottled Chardonnay Musqué – Vintages 246579 – $17.95 – **** – Regardless of vintage conditions this is a bottle to look forward to from Cave Spring. Make no mistake if you’re a Chardonnay lover – this comes off more like a less version of Gewurztraminer. Expect...
2016 Bachelder Wismer-Foxcroft Vineyard Gamay Noir
2016 Bachelder Wismer-Foxcroft Vineyard Gamay Noir – ****+ – It’s about time we get to see what Thomas Bachelder could do with Gamay. When I visited Beaujolais in 2014 winemakers would talk about wines they called “presqu’pinot” (almost Pinot). I’m not surprised that that this wine would end up with...

2015 Redstone Chardonnay – Vintages 398966 – $19.95 – **** – I really shouldn’t be surprised at how great this wine is – Chardonnay at twenty dollars from this province is one of the best ways to spend your money at the LCBO. The acidity keeps this wine light on...
I4C18 - The International Cool Climate Chardonnay Celebration
Summer is firmly in our rear view mirror. I realize it’s a little strange to be making comments like this when most of us are starting to think about Christmas – but wasn’t 2018 just an awesome year? The weather was near perfect and I don’t know about you, I...
Wine Review - 2016 Featherstone Joy Premium Cuvée Sparkling Rosé - 2016 Creekside Backyard Block Sauvignon BLanc
2016 Featherstone Joy Premium Cuvée Sparkling Rosé – Vintages 450700 – $29.95 – ****+ – I had a chance to taste this earlier this year – so this was a re-visit for me when I tasted it recently. It delivered everything I enjoyed about this wine in the spring and...
MSC Seafood Dinner - Nobilo
As National Seafood Month comes to a close I am thinking about a dinner I attended last month. I was fortunate enough to have a dinner served by Chef Charlotte Langley with wines paired by Nobilo. I really don’t talk about wine and food often enough on this site –...
