Full disclosure – this kit was sent to me – It comes from Andrew Peller Ltd. I don’t think I had given much thought to how far being a large company in the wine business can reach. So I was surprised to find out that one branch of the company...
Michael is now back from Italy. We have decided in spite of COVID-19 the show will go on – hopefully this will help distract a little bit about what’s going on in the world right now. André had an opportunity to sit down with Franck Bijon.
It’s early in the year so naturally Michael has left André in North America by himself. Michael is in Italy – so naturally he thought this would be a perfect time to talk about Bordeaux. We are joined by Christer Byklum – one of the most trusted voices in Wine.
2017 Trius Red – Vintages 303800 – $24.95 – ****+ – It’s been a couple years since I’ve written about Trius Red, so let me apologize for that. Drinking Trius Red always feels a little like coming home – when I first moved to Ontario in 2007 this wine is...
Old Chilean and Star Trek: Picard are what the guys tackle as Michael raids his cellar again.
2016 Culmina Unfiltered ‘Jeunes Vignes’ Malbec – Winery Only – $29.00 – **** – Most wineries proudly decree Vieille Vignes on their labels I have never seen a winery proudly decree young vines. The idea is that old vines naturally being to produce less fruit – but at a higher...
They make wine in China? Is it any good? While Michael is still gallivanting around Tuscany – André sits down with Lenz Moser and Andrew Von Teichman to talk about Changyu Moser XV.
As many of you know I’ve been on a Burgundy kick. What some of you may not know – I have been biting off chunks of France in bite sized nuggets and drawing parallels with Ontario. We are truly fortunate to have all the talented winemakers in Niagara that we...

When the Star Trek: Picard trailer dropped months ago – I was more than excited to see the vineyard setting. There has always been subtle mention of wine throughout the series – I mean on Deep Space Nine much of the series takes place in a Quark’s bar. Given that...
Michael and André take a question from the audience as they tackle the question – how do you start a wine collection with $250?
It’s been awhile since I’ve sat down at Southbrook to do a proper tasting. I think it’s one thing I take advantage of as a consumer in Toronto – we have a handful of wineries that have become mainstays at our various Farmer’s markets. I always look forward to finding...
