Tue, 30 June 2009 Today, it's not all about a new wine - it's about a wine I've had before and one that if you have not tried you are really missing out on. I re-tasted this wine almost exactly a year later at this year's Terroir event in Prince Edward County ... and wow, I think it's getting better.

Tue, 23 June 2009 This is a funny little podcast ... more because of what you think you'll hear: it sounds like I say 'imperial', but actually I am saying empirical, that'll teach me to slur my words lazily in front of the microphone. As for the wine, if you are having a BBQ any time soon, I suggest a bottle of this might enliven the festivities - even if you're by your self.

Tue, 26 May 2009 I thought this intro was so nice, I thought I'd use it twice: It's Riesling season ... that's right. As the weather gets warmer and your thoughts turn to activities outside your drinks get paler in colour and crisper in flavour - which means: it's Riesling season, so drink up.

Tue, 19 May 2009 This week we'll be tasting a 2007 red ... that beats out it's 2005 predecessor ... and in my opinion that was hard to do, cause the 2005 Elevation red was quite good and still stands the test of time ... but the 2007 might do even better (time will tell) but the smart money is on 10-years easy.

Tue, 12 May 2009 It's Riesling time, but instead of looking at something new from 2008, let's take a taste of a reserve wine from 2007 ... we have plenty of time to taste the 2008, and I am sure many will appear in my newsletter.

Tue, 5 May 2009 This week's note features a wine that some might consider a little pricey ... I am one of those people ... but sometimes you have to pay a pretty penny for a wine of this caliber. Considering that 2006 was not a great year for ageable reds this one stands out in the crowd. In ten years you'll think "I only paid thirty-five bucks for this beauty, what a steal."
