Rosehall Run is at the end of Greer Road in Prince Edward County, and if you have never made the visit you really should. I always try to make a stop at this winery a couple times a year. What’s really great about Rosehall is the depth of their portfolio....
2015 Leaning Post The Fifty Chardonnay – Vintages 578864 – $21.95 – **** – Wonderfully complex, and showing some restraint. This checks a lot of boxes that make me excited to grab a few bottles of this. The aromas of green apple, melon, and just a hint of spice. There...
2016 Southbrook Triomphe Chardonnay – Vintages 172338 – $24.95 – ****+ – Aromas are baking spice, baked apple, and vanilla. There is so much texture and richness coming out of the bottle – it’s unapologetic with the invasion of flavour it brings to your glass. There is nice weight on...
Trius Brut Rosé – Vintages 184309 – $32.95 – **** – The red fruit is fresh and vibrant on the nose and it oozes out of the glass with a nice richness. When you take your first sip of this wine it makes your taste buds snap to attention with...
2016 Flat Rock The Rusty Shed – Vintages 1552 – $26.95 – ***** – I’m not even sure where to being in describing how much I love this wine. When I opened the bottle to make these notes I didn’t expect to finish it as quickly as I did, and...
2016 Blue Mountain Chardonnay – Vintages 350108 – $28.95 – **** – The toasted oak really does soar over the pineapple, and peach notes both on the nose and on the palate. So if you’re note a fan of oak in your Chard you may want to look elsewhere. The...

I was thrilled to taste through some Redstone wines earlier this year. It’s always a treat to get to taste these wines. 2015 Sparkling Rosé – $29.95 – **** – This Pinot Noir sparkler is so fruity and delicious. The aromas are very pretty red fruit. On the palate this...
2017 Featherstone Four Feathers – Vintages 341586 – $14.95 – ***½+ – This is crushable, something that needs to be served next to grilled chicken, or at your next fish fry. The ideal way to serve this wine is going to be on a patio, dock, or outdoor setting with...
The beginning of May I was invited to visit the iYellow Loft to check out their new event space. I have always been a fan of the bus tours and events hosted at the iYellow wine cave on Queen St W. I was interested to see how the iYellow crew...
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...
2016 Flat Rock Chardonnay – Vintages 286278 – $19.95 – **** – I offer this to anyone who gripes about the price of Ontario wine. I defy you to find a bottle of Chardonnay from anywhere in the world that delivers on quality the way Flat Rock has with this...
