If you have been wanting to try some excellent Greek wines or just learn more about Greek wine, I suggest you head down to . Not only is the food awesome, they have a great Greek wine list with wines you won’t see anywhere else ! Try a XinoMavro with lamb , it is similar to a spicy Pinot noir . Their sommelier Drew is always available to help you make the right selection.

A quality piece of meat always deserves a high quality wine. 2015 Bordeaux paired with an amazing t bone steak with peppery mushroom sauce (my recipe) . Bordeaux reds and steak have long been a favourite pairing of mine as I find the wine enhances the meaty flavours (umami) and the meat will bring out the smoke in this particular type of wine.

I’ve been a big fan of since 2010. They always made an amazing Chardonnay and this Chardonnay that honours one of their founders Krystyna Tarasewicz who we sadly lost a few years ago, was no exception.2020 was a great vintage for the Niagara area so get them while you can!

My Paso Robles wine safari started off with a visit to . They produce wine made of many Italian varietals as well as Grenache . All I could say was WOW. The vermintino was a standout for me. This was a very unique white wine with orange peel, lemon zest, elder flower and green melon notes . Very refreshing . Thank you to Annie our host who made the visit super fun!

I’ve never been to Paso Robles before and what a treat that one of my first wineries was where I got to meet and chat with the wine maker as well. They are doing some very unique varietals here, my favourites being the Grenache Blanc, and Osiris red blend that is Grenache based as well. What a cool place and amazing , amazing wines!

You don’t have to go to Burgundy or spend Burgundy $$$ for great Pinot Noir. This earthy, smokey, smooth expression comes from our Niagara Escarpment area (similar latitude) and has a much better price point :). I highly recommend a visit to or better yet I’ll take you there myself!

I checked out today for the first time and what took me so long! Their estate Pinot noir is divine, perfectly smooth with low tannins and very berry, smokey , chocolatey flavours. I also picked up 2 bottles of their traditional method sparkling rose . Only the best on Grad school tours !

I always enjoy tasting a rainbow of wines on ‘s deck and enjoying one of their delicious burgers as well. Stand outs today were the 2021 backyard block Sauvignon Blanc and the 2020 iconoclast Syrah. Definitely a must visit when you’re in the Lincoln area !

Love sitting in their vineyard on weekend evenings, enjoying a drink and a a snack !

14/06/2023

The last of the lot ! ‘s 2020 Baco Noir. Unfortunately they sold out. 2020 was a great year for Ontario wines, it was good for something after all!
This is a juicy, smokey wine with flavours of blackberry, black cherry , chocolate, and spice. Delightful with BBQ steak or here with my lamb shoulder chop. Looking forward to the next release!
