First, The Wines: This one is a little Chardonnay heavy (3) but there is also something for the red wine lover with a Cabernet Franc and a Cabernet Sauvignon – plus something innovative (for Ontario) and special from De Simone.
The Usual Extras: Four videos and the six articles are linked at the bottom, plus a look back at some podcasts links that might interest you having to do with Vintage 2020 in other parts of Ontario.
Rosé News: The 2021 Rose Report tasting has begun, each newsletter I will highlight those wines that impressed during the last tasting period – below you will see pictures of the four wines that got me thinking summer and warm weather – and that was before the snow flew here in Ontario (it’s melting now).
Finally, I have launched a Patreon page in an attempt to keep my content free and mostly advertiser free – I will be adding new things as incentives to my supporters (mostly in the form of unique and exclusive content) so take a look and I really Do appreciate any support you can give – you can find it by clicking here.
Be safe – stay healthy – drink well.
