We’re getting close to what would have been I4C 2020 – the tenth installment of my Christmas in July. While I’m sad to be missing it this year. I thought I would take this opportunity to write my own ode to Chardonnay. I think for many people when you open...
In our final podcast where we tasted through the Bachelder Violette Release we look at Pinot Noir. This is the third part of our series with Thomas – we hope you enjoyed them. Two Guys Talking Wine · Thomas Bachelder makes good Pinot Noir – Episode 199
Obviously this spring, I haven’t had a chance to spend as much time in Niagara as I normally do – especially when the vineyards come to life. With so much selection it’s hard to spend as much money at each winery as I would like. But one wine that is...

I have been fortunate enough to enjoy a lot of great wines during this pandemic. Some of the high points have been the sparkling wines from Featherstone. For my wife’s birthday I opened my oldest bottle of Joy from 2009. Before the pandemic required us to spend more time at...

Beer may be the obvious drink of choice for dad (and winemaker’s FYI) but if looking for something different or special for this Father’s Day we’ve got you covered. As a Sommelier, I’ve seen my fair share of dad’s proudly bringing their cellar gems to share with their families for...

A few weeks ago I had a chance to do a live tasting with Vadim Chelekhov – the head winemaker at Kacaba. I have known Vadim for a longtime and he was our winemaker at 80x – he made our wonderful rosé and chardonnay. When I was talking to him...
