Wine Review - 2014 Wildass Red - 2015 Leaning Post The Fifty Chardonnay
2015 Leaning Post The Fifty Chardonnay – Vintages 578864 – $21.95 – **** – Wonderfully complex, and showing some restraint. This checks a lot of boxes that make me excited to grab a few bottles of this. The aromas of green apple, melon, and just a hint of spice. There...
What's New at Featherstone. (Summer 2018)
2017 Featherstone Black Sheep Riesling – Vintages 80234 – $16.95 – ****+ – This continues to be benchmark for quality of Riesling from Ontario. Even though 2017 was by most accounts a challenging vintage, you certainly wouldn’t be able to guess by the flavours in this bottle. In your glass...

Michael and André debrief after another great year of the Cool Climate Chardonnay Celebration – or as André calls it – Christmas in July.
Wine Review - 2016 Southbrook Triomphe Chardonnay - 2017 13th Street Red Palette
2016 Southbrook Triomphe Chardonnay – Vintages 172338 – $24.95 – ****+ – Aromas are baking spice, baked apple, and vanilla. There is so much texture and richness coming out of the bottle – it’s unapologetic with the invasion of flavour it brings to your glass. There is nice weight on...
Social Lite Grapeftuit Pomelo
This post is for those of us who are too damned lazy to stock a bar and mix a drink. Trust me – I am very lazy. I have written about the new batch of Social Lite canned cocktails for the past couple summers. So why should this year be...
Two Guys Talking Wine - (Episode 102)
Wes Lowrey may be one of the most down to earth people in the Ontario wine industry. But the kickass wines from Five Rows speak loud and proud for the Lowrey family.
Wine Review - 2016 2027 Cellars Edgerock Vineyard Pinot Noir - 2016 Rosewood Sussreserve Riesling
2016 Rosewood Sussreserve Riesling – Vintages 258806 – $15.95 – **** – I really do love this wine in the summer – something about cracking a bottle of the Suss and opening it next to chicken off the smoker, or sausages off the barbeque. There is a bit of sweetness,...
Wine Reviews - Organized Crime Winery
I had an opportunity to stop by Organized Crime Winery to chat with their new winemaker Greg Yemen. After recent discoveries of their 2012 PIpe Down and 2016 Sauvignon Blanc, I needed to see how the rest of the portfolio stacked up. This winery is going to be a regular...
Two Guys Talking Wine - (Episode 101)
André is stuck in Toronto – while Michael is out in Prince Edward County judging the All Canadian Wine Championships.
Trius Brut Rosé - 2016 Cave Spring Estate Bottled Chardonnay Musqué
Trius Brut Rosé – Vintages 184309 – $32.95 – **** – The red fruit is fresh and vibrant on the nose and it oozes out of the glass with a nice richness. When you take your first sip of this wine it makes your taste buds snap to attention with...
