Wine Review – 2015 Sperling Vineyards Pinot Noir – 2016 Fielding Gewurztraminer
2016 Fielding Gewurztraminer – Vintages 146753 – $19.95 – **** – Gewurztraminer from Ontario is something worth seeking out. It doesn’t have the weight or texture of Alsatian bottles, but it’s not trying to be Alsace. The lighter texture on the mid-palate make this easier to pair with food. Aromas...
My Wine Journey through the Finger Lakes
I can’t believe it has taken me this long to get around to writing this. During the late spring I hopped in the car and headed down to the Finger Lakes in New York State in search of Riesling. I have been keeping an eye on the work of Paul...
Wine Reviews – 2014 Pinot Noir from 16 Mile
Here are a pair of bottles from 16 Mile Winery that mark the first time they are using estate fruit. As you can see there is definitely something worth checking out here. 2014 16 Mile Rebel Pinot Noir – Winery Only – $22.95 – ****+ – The short note on...

Wine Review – 2016 Charles Baker B-Side Riesling – 2016 13th Street Cabernet/Merlot
2016 Charles Baker B-Side Riesling – Vintages 523845 – $22.20 – **** – When U2 released “Where the Streets Have No Name” the b-side to that single was “The Sweetest Thing”. This feels like a literal interpretation of that release. The other side of the record would be Picone or...
Wine Reviews – Taking a New Look at 13th Street Winery
13th Street has recently finished building a new addition to their facility. I was shocked to see how quickly the new addition had been built. I usually make a few pilgrimages to the barn to grab some buttertarts or stock up on Saskatoon jam (one of the few places in...

Wine Review – 2016 Vineland Estates Elevation St. Urban Vineyard Riesling – 2016 Chateau des Charmes Gamay Noir Droit
2016 Vineland Estates Elevation St. Urban Vineyard Riesling – Vintages 38117 – $19.95 – ****+ – This continues to be a show-stopper and benchmark for quality and price in the province. This brings perfect balance with acidity but the sweetness on the palate brings an army of fruit to this...
Wine Review – Henry of Pelham for Winter
2016 Henry of Pelham Speck Family Reserve Chardonnay – Vintages 616466 – $29.95 – ****+ – This is one of the first wines I have had an opportunity to sample what the very warm 2016 summer has to offer from Niagara, and I was not disappointed. Aromas of vanilla and...
Two Guys Talking Wine – Episode 73
André couldn’t resists revisiting the Champagne flute debate. He called in a ringer as we speak with Olivier Krug (from THAT Krug). Can Michael hold his ground … and onto his Champagne flutes?
