Wine Review - 2014 Osoyoos Larose Petales D’Osoyoos - 2016 The Hare Crown Land White
2016 The Hare Crown Land White – Vintages 547786 – $18.50 – **** – A blend of Gewurztraminer and Riesling – this bottle offers fantastic balance of these two grapes. The aromas are unapologetically rosewater and lychee in spades. On the palate this matches the nose and has me wondering...
Wine Reviews - Tawse for Summer
Here are a few gems that are currently available in the Tawse portfolio. I do go on about it a little more in my note on the Redfoot Cabernet Franc, but there is something very Niagara about these wines. Tawse is most definitely a leader for Ontario as we try...

Wine Review - 2017 Three of Hearts Rosé - 2017 Malivoire Vivant Rosé
2017 Henry of Pelham Three of Hearts Rosé – $19.95 – Vintages 552562 – **** – If there’s one thing to define this bottle, it’s the attention to detail. The transparent label barely obscures the beautiful pale pink colour in the bottle. The bottle itself makes a statement that this...
Wine Reviews - Redstone for Summer
I was thrilled to taste through some Redstone wines earlier this year. It’s always a treat to get to taste these wines. 2015 Sparkling Rosé – $29.95 – **** – This Pinot Noir sparkler is so fruity and delicious. The aromas are very pretty red fruit. On the palate this...

Wine Review - 2017 Featherstone Four Feathers - 2017 Lola Cabernet Franc Rosé
2017 Featherstone Four Feathers – Vintages 341586 – $14.95 – ***½+ – This is crushable, something that needs to be served next to grilled chicken, or at your next fish fry. The ideal way to serve this wine is going to be on a patio, dock, or outdoor setting with...
An Evening With Vitalie Taittinger
The beginning of May I was invited to visit the iYellow Loft to check out their new event space. I have always been a fan of the bus tours and events hosted at the iYellow wine cave on Queen St W. I was interested to see how the iYellow crew...

Wine Review - 2014 Cave Spring Estate Bottled Gewurztraminer - 2016 Thirty Bend Winemaker's Blend Double Noir
2014 Cave Spring Estate Bottled Gewurztraminer – Vintages 302059 – $17.95 – **** – This really is a special bottle of wine. Gew can be a tough nut to crack when you love food – but the acidity in this wine gives it a layer of food friendliness you don’t...
