2010 Featherstone Joy Premium Sparkling – Vintages 310334 – $34.95 – Anyone that knows me knows how much I love this wine. This bottle looks inconspicuous as it is sealed with a crown cap. Don’t let the beer cap fool you this wine is exceptional! A nose of rising bread...
2013 Southbrook Triomphe Chardonnay – Vintages 172338 – $22.95 – Rich and delicious. At the same time this Chardonnay is a perfectly balanced blend of crisp citrus, apple and vanilla and butterscotch on the finish. I have enjoyed this wine with every vintage I have tried but this may be...
Let’s say it all together now … I will not pair Icewine with dessert. Hear me out! The biggest complaint about Icewine is that it is too sweet and just leaves your mouth feeling like you have just drank syrup. If you really want to up your game for the...
2012 Tawse Spark Brut Sparkling – Vintages 404558 – $14.95 – I really enjoyed the last vintage of this wine. It’s basically a traditional style sparkling wine made with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir… but to cap it all off there is also Pinot Gris in the mix. This has nice...
This week on November 20th we will be greeted with 9 offerings from France, Italy and Ontario in their local LCBO. Nouveau has a certain contradiction about it … the hardest wine snobs will turn their nose up at it… but the budding wineaux has no idea that it even...
2013 Enchanted served with Polish Sausage, Saurkraut, Potato Pancakes and all the fixins. 2013 The Foreign Affair Enchanted – Vintages 389767 – $17.95 – This white blend is the Foreign Affairs answer to the Conspiracy. Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling work it’s way into this bottle done in a ripasso style. ...
2012 Tawse Spark Limestone Ridge Riesling Sparkling Wine – Vintages 370361 – $19.95 – This is a great wine for celebrating and priced to be enjoyed in more casual settings. Flavours and aromas are bright and crisp citrus with great acidity and bone dry on the finish. The great thing...
2010 Coyote’s Run Rare Vintage Syrah – Vintages 144774 – $32.95 – Wow! I’m a Syrah skeptic but this one is truly fantastic. When I tasted this wine I didn’t know the price either … So I assure you that even at this price it is well worth the price...
2013 Flat Rock Unplugged Chardonnay – Vintages 68015 – $16.95 – I love good unoaked Chardonnay because it’s food friendly and crowd pleasing. This wine is loaded with Apples, Pear and Peach with nice acidity and a good finish. This will be a great match to roast pork and chicken....
2011 Coffin Ridge Back from the Dead Red – Vintages 260463 – $17.00 – Halloween is coming… and for those of you sick of pumpkin flavoured beer, pie and lattes this wine is for you. Perfectly unpretentious and approachable. There is a bit of funkiness in this wine as you...
2012 Cave Spring Estate Bottled Gewurztraminer – Vintages 302059 – $17.95 – Bone Dry and Very Floral. Nice balanced acidity. This Gewurz is very delicious. This will make a perfect match to asian cuisine like pad thai, or spicy stir fry. Don’t let these food choices limit you … the...
2009 Rancourt Meritage – Vintages 394106 – $20.00 – Lots of ripe raspberry, blackberry and currant in the bottle. I still enjoy the red wines from 2008 and 2009. They tend to be fruit forward and easy drinking. The finish on this wine has hints of cocoa. There is nice...
