2013 Fielding Unoaked Chardonnay – Vintages 164491 – $14.95 – ***1/2 – Apple, and Lemon. This is easy drinking white wine with refreshing acidity on the finish. The great thing about Unoaked Chardonnay is that it is unpretentious and easy drinking. This wine makes me yearn for summer… It will...
The question you answer for the next few days after Cuvée is “What was your favorite wine?”… Truthfully I can’t answer. Cuvée is hosted at the Fallsview Casino. It is one of the events that I look forward to every year. You take as many wineries as you can fit...
I hadn’t planned on making any stops for Cuvée En Route. But next year when you’re in town for Cuvée make sure you plan on a few for yourself. I did however get a chance to stop by Stratus to see what was going on. Stratus was pouring their 2012...
I had a chance to recently visit Two Sisters winery in Niagara. There is quite a buzz about the new impressive facility and the wines since they opened their doors. I had to go and check it out for myself. Lush Brut Rosé – $35.00 – **** – 50/50 Chardonnay...
Let’s face it. Valentine’s Day can be a pain if you don’t know how to cook. If you didn’t make reservations ahead of time you could be stuck waiting for a table for a very long time. I am here to save you… Not to mention if you eat at...
2011 Redstone Chardonnay – Vintages 398966 – $18.95 – **** – I don’t often like to dwell on the price of the wines I talk about … the main thing I am looking for with all my reviews is value. That being said I think we can officially put to...

2012 Red House Wine Co Cabernet Shiraz – LCBO 219030 – $12.95 – This is a very good easy drinking red blend from the very hot 2012 Summer. This is not something you have to worry about cellaring, aging or storing just open and serve. Very fruit dominant with lots...
I was recently asked by a friend what Sparkling wine should I get for New Years… I have a sixty dollar budget. The great news about a sixty dollar budget is there are A LOT of options on what you can pick up. Champagne can get quite expensive. A bottle...
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...
