Every second Saturday the LCBO releases a slew of wines into the Vintages section of their stores. The magazine that accompanies these releases is loaded with descriptions of the wines, and let's face it, they all sound pretty darn good; but you can't buy them all, and all of them can't be to your liking. Through my Vintages Release Reports I give you my easy to understand, unpretentious view of each week's Vintages release to help you find the gems within the pages.
On the Road with the Grape Guy is a on-going feature that follows me from event to event ... I post my thoughts, feelings and reviews of what happened and what I tasted ... basically it is here that I review the events I attend and the things that thrilled me.
On occasion, I’ll take a wine I like and put it away in a “special box” for a few years to see how it will age … below you will read happened to those wines. On the other hand, there are wines that get “lost” in my wine cellar with nary a review ever written - some have turned into golden Treasures, others supreme Trash and then there are those that fall somewhere in-between (Tolerable). We’ll look at those here too. (New wines are being added all the time so keep coming back):
Just because I started a website called OntarioWineReview.com doesn't mean it's All-Ontario-All-the-Time. When I kick back at night my mood (and sometimes my curiosity) decides my wine of choice. And the title should read, "Uncorked and Un-Screwed Tonight" ... but that just sounds wrong.
The New Weekly Video Wine Note is presented on YouTube on the Michael Pinkus Channel (located here) ... Check out this week's featured wine below -
MichaelPinkusWineReview is pleased to bring you the OntarioWineReview Newsletter:
A bi-weekly newsletter dedicated to helping you discover Ontario's best Wines, Wineries and Events while keeping you abreast of issues that affect the wine industry in Ontario and around the world.
Cheers!
