What wines will you be serving at your table for Thanksgiving this weekend? We are in the middle of the Taste Local campaign so there is no excuse to not be serving Ontario Wine with your Turkey this weekend. Chardonnay is a slam dunk with Turkey. I personally prefer a...
2013 Flat Rock Good Kharma Chardonnay – Vintages 356873 – $16.95 – This will make a perfect addition to your table for Thanksgiving. A portion of the sale from each bottle goes to help the Ontario Association of Food Banks. Feel good story aside, this wine easily outperforms its price...

[huge_it_slider id=”2″] The LCBO has been working over the past couple years to tweak the campaign that was once known as “Go Local”. Last year the promotion was called “Shine On”, and let’s face it the name just didn’t quite pop even though the wine selection was very good. This...
2011 Le Clos Jordanne Village Reserve Pinot Noir – Vintages 33894 – $30.00 – Would you call me crazy for calling this a value wine? Even at thirty dollars this is well worth the price of admission for a wine that is a perfect balance of fruit and earth with...

It seems that the rain follows me when I make my way down the QEW for the Cool Climate Chardonnay Celebration. Last year I attended the kickoff barbeque that was hit by major torrential rain. This year I made sure to check out the Grand Tasting and Dinner held at...

I had a chance to drop into the Foreign Affair in early March. I have recently reviewed the 2009 Ex-Pat Riesling and the 2012 Conspiracy two wines that I very much enjoyed (and highly recommend you pick up for yourself). The Foreign Affair makes their wines using the Appassimento method...
2011 Featherstone Four Feathers – Vintages 341586 – $14.95 – This is a symphony of great white grapes with Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Gewurztraminer. This wine is truly summer in a glass and after the winter we had we could all use some summer in a glass. A great...
