Wine Review - 2015 Bachelder Wismer-Foxcroft N. 2 Chardonnay - 2014 Stratus Gamay
2015 Bachelder Wismer-Foxcroft N. 2 Chardonnay – Vintages 547299 – $44.95 – ****+ – I have often said that Chardonnay doesn’t last long in my house because it’s ready to drink young. This bottle is something that requires a little patience and time to settle down. The nose offers vanilla...
Wine Reviews - Pelee Island

2016 Organized Crime Sauvignon Blanc – Vintages 396275 – $18.95 – ****½ – The intensity of tropical aromas in this wine feel like vinous pyrotechnics. Passion fruit, guava, and pink grapefruit announce their presence without apology. The flavours match the aromas, and open up with nice weight and texture. The...

Wine Review - 2016 Wildass Sauvignon Blanc - 2016 Malivoire Gamay
2016 Wildass Sauvignon Blanc – Vintages 376814 – $18.95 – **** – This is very interesting version of Sauvignon Blanc. It draws a little bit of what makes Sauvignon Blanc great from all over. There is a slight savory note of bell pepper that rears its head to the finish...

As a bit of a sneak peek to something else I’m working on, I am in the middle of a Pet Nat roundup for Ontario. What started as a few wineries last year has grown into a full blown category. So it was a no brainer to reach out to...
