    Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée Brut Champagne in front of neon

    Champagne/Sparkling Wine, Wine

    Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée Brut is an Archetypal Champagne 

    One of my oldest (and favourite) traditions is springing for a decent bottle of proper Champagne for New Years Eve. Previous inductees have included the absolutely divine Pol Roger and the very-good-for-its-price Taittinger. Nearly a decade ago, it even included a different L-P — the…

    Faust Cabernet Sauvignon is a Fantastic “Treat Yourself” Wine 

    With inflation surging, the safety of the “$20 bottle of a varietal and region I like” is getting shaken. By that I mean, if I grabbed a cab sauv north of $20 from Cali, at the very least I expected to enjoy, if not love…

    What Happens When You Age Wine? Comparing 2 Reviews of the Same Wine 8 Years Apart 

    Take a trip back in time with me. All the way to the hyper distant world of 2014. My then-girlfriend (now wife) and I had just come back from a 5 month soujourn in South East Asia, and my parents (presumably grateful their feckless son…

    Krug Grand Cuvée Champagne: Joining the Cult of Krug 

    The first time I ever heard of Krug Champagne was in novelist and wine writer Jay McInerney’s collection of wine essays Bacchus and Me. In an essay on Krug, McInerney shares an account of a man at an open champagne bar asking for another glass…

    Cave Spring Pinot Gris is a More than an Alright White 

    Quietly, without a great deal of fanfare, inexpensive Ontario wines have been getting really quite good. The majority of them are still only available from the vineyards directly (which is why I make routine pilgrimages to Prince Edward County) but more than a few are…

    Taittinger is a Tasty, Entry-Level Champagne 

    When I picked Taittinger (pronounced “Tay-ton-zshay”) to be my New Year’s Eve champagne, it was for simple reasons — it cost under $70, was on sale, and wasn’t Veuve Clicquot, a bubbly I have mixed feelings about. While a non-vintage champagne (not a bad thing…

    Erath Pinot Noir is a Perfect, Light, Fall Red Wine 

    The cold weather cometh — and while that can be a bit of a rocky transition for everyone, I don’t think anyone is hit harder than white wine drinkers. Ok that might be an exaggeration, but seriously one day you’re reaching for that bracingly cold…

    13th Street Premier Cuvée Is a Brilliant Vintage Bubbly 

    Alright, so, I realize that reviewing a sparkling wine during the apex of pandemic pandemonium might be on the odd side of decisions to make, but having recently tried the phenomenally good 13th Street Premier Cuvée, (2013), I simply had to share. And since we can’t…

    Ridge Three Valleys Sonoma County Is a Magnificent Zinfandel Blend 

    My Dad is one of the reasons I fell in love with wine. Not only is it his pure and earnest enjoyment of a good glass or his devotion to St- Emilions, but it’s the fact that every once in a while he’ll get a…

    Santa Rita Wine Tour: Vineyard Biking and Vino Sipping in Chile 

    One of my favourite things to do when travelling is find a nearby wine region and explore it a bit. So far my partner Christine and I have been to Sonoma and Napa in California, and Prince Edward County right at home in Ontario. So…
