About us About us

Ontario Wine Review
OntarioWineReview.com is a website devoted to the love and enjoyment and promotion of wine - not just any wine… the wines of Ontario; and the wineries that make them.

 

Michael Pinkus (The Grape Guy) is a multi-award-winning wine writer, national and international wine judge, educator, journalist, social-media content maker, host & co-creator of the podcast Two Guys Talking Wine – plus former President of the Wine Writers’ Circe of Canada (2010-2015) and former actor, with his own IMDB page (thought we’d just throw that in for good measure).

His heartfelt and insightful comments, along with his passionate reviews of the wines and the wineries that make them, have earned him praise throughout the Ontario industry and beyond.

For his writing he's been called "a very knowledgeable and honest taster and writer"; "a passionate wine man with a sense of humor"; and "a really good wine writer”.

On his YouTube Channel, he releases two video reviews weekly and is about to embark on his newest endeavour, a monthly whiskey / spirits review (wish him luck) – coming late 2021 or 2022.

Michael's video reviews have been called “infectious ", "endearing " and “full of passion". It has even been said, “why this guy has not been picked up for a show is beyond me.”

In his past life Michael was an on-air radio personality, actor and vocal performer (something he still dabbles in today through his company Custom Sound Impressions).

Through his writing, videos, podcast and everything else Michael does it is his desire to educate, inspire and encourage others to grow their own love, passion and enthusiasm for wine

OntarioWineReview.com is a website devoted to the love, enjoyment and promotion of the wines of Ontario and the wineries that make them ... and on more than one occasion we'll get into the politics that surrounds them. ico_pics.gif

In crafting the information on this site, we take the same great care a winemaker would -  providing you with honest, straightforward, no-nonsense, BS-free information in a way that's easy to understand.  We stay away from "wine-speak" and give it to you straight.  Best of all,  it's information you can share with friends, family, or that someone special … the way good wine is supposed to be.

Ontario and all its wines are truly yours to discover and enjoy; OntarioWineReview will make it easier for you to do so - in a totally unbiased manner.

Whatever your destination, be it to enjoy the great fruit wineries of the province, or visit one of the official Designated Viticulture Areas:  Niagara, Prince Edward County or the Lake Erie North Shore … OntarioWineReview will be there.
