Just having a 1994 Stoney Ridge Estate Reserve Chardonnay, and it ain't bad...! Actually, it's probably the best old Canadian chard I've had. A bit nutty. A...
Had a '97 Vineland Estates Riesling Reserve at 10 years of age that was very nice, and still have another bottle. A few Canadian dry Rieslings have been good...

Folks, I would agree that for some odd reason, the Ontario Chardonnays can hold up better than our Rieslings. I was at a tasting where some 12-15 year old...
Interesting to have this come up We have always promoted the fact that Ontario wines age well at Southbrook. Last week I was in London for a wine show, and I...

Looks like the 750ml Retsina is no longer available, leaving only the 500ml pop-top. We're so spoiled. And hey, only 5 bottles of *it* in all K-W. Nice. ...
Your in KW? Our stores are the worst, lots of inferior Canadian wines and a total lack of anything good from the US. If you are into the vintages overpriced...
I've always been intrigued by quince, and today just found quince nectar at an eastern Euro type of deli. WOW!!! It's like icewine! ICEWINE I tell ya. The name...
I was driving along in the car today, listening to the radio when an LCBO advert came on. In keeping with their perpetual sense of good taste, they've used a...

I wasn't impressed by the red, though I think I eventually found some dish that complemented and improved it. Have you had the white?...

I'm quite enjoying the white. I guess the Gewürz is the strongest component, tempered by the other two grapes. A bit off-dry, good body, quintessentially...
