Dear Reader,
One of the best parts of the wine and spirits business is discovering new products and meeting the people who make them. At Vinexpo 2011, the world’s largest trade show for alcohol beverage (yes, it’s as fun as it sounds), I met Bernard Walsh and tasted his Writers Tears Irish Whiskey for the first time. To say I …
Dear Reader,
It is always exciting when a new winery makes its Ontario debut. I visited Hall Winery for the first time this past summer and was blown away by their wines, the estate, and the passion that Kathryn & Craig Hall, and all of their team have for Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
Dedicated to producing premium Napa Valley Cab, Hall’s …

Dear Reader,
It’s Easter, a long weekend and vaguely spring-like all of which I thought called for Pinot Noir.

Dear Reader,
I’m just back from four busy days at the VinItaly wine show in Verona and I’m very pleased to highlight several new and exceptionally good wines being released this Saturday.
