I think Rioja is my most loved wine in the world – maybe Cotes du Rhone

The Corbières rules are interesting – at least 50% of this, no more than 50% of that.
So many rules for blending wines in France – it’s fascinating.
I suppose it’s all done to avoid exporting “Le Plonk”

Pronouncing German wines always makes me giggle

And I love this video of Germans who say nice things

Thanks for writing. Harder to get to Toronto for those mornings now that I live in the County. But trying! Cheers.

Hi Billy – great to have you back on the Vintages review – I have missed your sage advice while you have been out and about!

Looking forward to more

I have ordered the book for the 4th or 5th year in a row. I find that if I wind up in the LCBO without it I am lost, so it will live in the glove compartment of the car, just like its older brothers!

As long as you keep issuing new versions I’ll be buying them.

Slainte!

Comment on Nouveau Week by Travis

Travis — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 15:57:37 +0000

This year I like the Georges Duboeuf Gamay Nouveau ($8.95) the best – it tasted true to the spirit of Nouveau.
Overall it was a great year for the LCBO Nouveau released – we liked all the French and Italian ones.

Comment on Free Taste the Season Passes! by Andrew Bloomfield

Wah hoo! That’s just what I needed… an EXCUSE to hit the escarpment! Thanks for firing up my hedonistic tendencies, Billy and Kato!

Now, what’s my current VQA fave? What am I in the mood for? This week I think it’s bonfires and Baco Noir. Squeezing the last drop out of barbeque season demands a bottle or two of Henry of Pelham’s Baco Reserve. Nothing quite says “fall” like a burger, some buddies and a glass of baco on the deck… Is that burning leaves I smell? Bring it on.
