Riesling wine getting its due eh?
“Whoa! You have to smell this!” came out of my mouth immediately. As my tasting companion smelled the wine they pulled their head back in shock. “Ya, do you get that smell of gas?”, I said. “But it tastes amazing, I think I am in love”.
That was an excerpt from the first time I tasted a truly exceptional Riesling wine. This happened in Niagara back in 2004 at Maleta Winery . Since then, I have been collecting Rieslings and have a decent collection of older vintages now. Note: the petrol and granite smells come out more as the wine ages.
This month, The Niagara Grapevine Magazine had a fantastic article by Ange Aiello all about why Riesling is her grape of choice.
My Heartbreak Grape
There, I said it, Riesling makes me weak in the knees. Forget Pinot Noir, Riesling is my “heartbreak grape” and definately my go-to varietal.
Fantastis quote! Ontario produces amazing Riesling and it is almost always the first wine to be released each year. Get out and stock up for the holiday season and find out for your self what makes this grape so good!
BTW: You can read Ange’s entire article online at: The Niagara Grapevine Magazine
TSO Auction Fun
Last night, I attended the Toronto Symphony Orchestra 2010 Wine Auction and it was a blast.
There was over 300 lots and the auction ran, at a breakneck pace, from 6:30pm – 10:00pm. This year there was a fantastic selection on Ontario wines donated by Donald Ziraldo.
There were two lots which I really wanted. Both of them contained vintage Ontario wines.
The first lot consisted of:
- Inniskillin, Pinot Noir 1994
- Inniskillin, Pinot Noir Reserve 1994
- Inniskillin, Pinot Noir 1995
- Inniskillin, Pinot Noir Reserve 1995
- Inniskillin, Pinot Noir Reserve 1997
- Inniskillin, Pinot Noir St. Laurent 1998
- Inniskillin, Pinot Noir Reserve 1998
- Inniskillin, Pinot Noir Founder’s Reserve 2000
- Inniskillin, Montague Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir 2000
It finally went for $475 dollars to man who was NOT going to be out bid for this lot.
The second lot, which I actually won, included:
- inniskillin Icewine Vidal 1996 (two bottles)
- inniskillin Icewine Oak Aged Vidal 1996 (two bottles)
- inniskillin Icewine Oak Aged Vidal 1997 (three bottles)
- inniskillin Icewine Riesling Vintner’s Reserve 1997 (two bottles)
- inniskillin Icewine Cabernet Franc Vintner’s Reserve 1997 (two bottles)
This lot went for $475 and the final bidder was myself and the guy who won lot number one.
Maybe we took sympathy on me after beating me out for the first lot.
Overall it was a fantastic event and a great place to do some Christmas shopping.

LCBO Privatization: OPSEU prepares for fight against Privatization
Do you remember this same Union holding Ontario hostage last summer? Now they want us to believe that this campaign is about ‘Ontarians’ when really it is about maintaining Union jobs. Nothing more.
Note: The Ontario Public Service Employees Union, which represents workers at the Crown-owned LCBO, are mounting a campaign to convince the government not to privatize the monopoly liquor board. Here is the press released issue on June 1.
Toronto (1 June 2010) – The Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU/NUPGE) is ramping up its campaign to prevent the sale of Crown corporations, especially the ultra-profitable Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO).
“In the face of Ontario’s $21 billion dollar deficit, selling Ontario’s crown jewels is getting another round of debate,” the union notes.
“Our message on this is clear: selling off any of Ontario’s assets, including the LCBO, is foolish. Why sell the goose that lays golden eggs year after year?”
Last year alone the LCBO, OLG, formerly the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, Hydro One and Ontario Power Generation (OPG), brought in $4.3 billion dollars in profits. Each year these funds go directly into the provincial coffers to support health care, education and other public services that benefit the people of Ontario.
“The Ontario government is reportedly considering combining these enterprises into a ’super corporation’ and selling a minority stake to private investors,” OPSEU says.
“Premier Dalton McGuinty is attempting to soften privatization by claiming that this ’super corporation’ will be partially privatized. It is more than likely however that the scheme is to work towards complete privatization. It will be a déjà vu, reminiscent of the days when Petro-Canada and Air Canada were publicly held, before being gradually sold off to the private sector.”
OPSEU notes that the Ontario Liberal government has turned to Goldman Sachs, the notoriously greedy New York investment bank, to provide advice on the sale of Ontario’s crown jewels.
“With Goldman Sachs offering advice to McGuinty on privatization, it is unlikely that the ‘best interests’ of the people of Ontario will be served,” OPSEU argues.
“We don’t want Dalton McGuinty to make the same mistake Mike Harris made when he sold off Highway 407 at a bargain basement price.”
OPSEU says the experience of Albertans since liquor sales were privatized in 1993 has shown that the idea is not only bad socially but costly financially. Impaired driving rates went up and crime increased.
“As a public agency, the LCBO has a mandate to sell alcohol responsibly,” OPSEU says.
“Each year, LCBO employees refuse to serve thousands of people who are under-age or intoxicated. Social responsibility keeps our communities safe.”
To hear more about my opinion on LCBO Privatization read “To privatize or not to privatize that is the question”

22 Wine Makers of NOTL Event…fantastic!
When you attend a wine tasting do you like to ask lots of questions? I certainly do.. Most wine events are too crowded for much chit-chat with the winery staff. That is what made the recent Niagara-on-the-Lake wine event so good…the wine makers were pouring and there was lots of time to chat with them!
My highligts of the night were from three different wineries. The first ‘wow’ was from Cattail Creek and their well-spoken and modest wine maker, Colin Ferguson. He produced two fantastic wines at great prices. A 2009 Chardonnay Musque for $17…the mix of fruit on the nose was very unique. The 2008 Pinot Noir for $18 was a great Pinot at this price with some nice strawberry on the nose.
The second ‘wow’ was from a 2007 Cabernet Franc from Marynissen with good tannins; probably needs another 5-7 years to reach its prime.
The final ‘wow’ came from Maleta Winery which has been a favorite of mine since their spectacular 2002 Gamay. They poured a fantastic Meritage that is only selling by word of mouth (hmmm…is blogging about it a good idea). It has complex fruit and flavours that stood out even at the end of a tasting. Admittedly, part of the ‘wow’ is that it was a hidden wine not on the table and definately not in the tasting book.
It was organized and setup by the Wineries of Niagara-on-the-Lake and the always impressive Ange Aiello of the iYellow Wine Club. It was carried off beautifully at the Toronto Board of Trade and tickets going for a very reasonable $50. The only complaint to be heard was a lack of food which at $50 is tough at a place like the TBoT.
This event will be happening again next year… if you want a great chance to talk with a bunch of wine makers this is the event for you!

Ravine – a great new Niagara winery
Last week, I went to the LCBO to pick up a bottle of Ravine 2008 Chardonnay and it was really good. It had a really good blend of fruit and oak throughout…also has a great straw colour. This wine might be better in 2-3 years as the flavours all become integrated.
My first introduction to Ravine was last year at Wine Camp Toronto when they poured their 2007 Riesling. It was a good by itself but was amazing with some of the cheeses.
Their winery is beautiful and a cool place for a wine tasting. Wine tasting at Ravine are held along a long bench in a renovated house. Next door there is a little snack shop with great selection of cheese and other ‘winery snacks’. If you are done in Niagara (St. David to be exact) drop by… you won’t be disappointed.

Wine Tour in Ontario… the season is open…
The last two weeks in Toronto have given us fantastic weather. With warmer weather comes the start of ‘wine tour season’ here in Ontario we are luck to have three wine regions. The orginal wine tour area of Niagara, Prince Edward County (PEC) and Pelee Island.
How do you decide between Niagara, Prince Edward County, and Pelee Island? Here are a few pieces of advice.
On your wine tour,
Do you want to warmest weather? Choose Pelee Island, it has the best weather of the three.
Do you hate crowds? Try Prince Edward County, they are the newest wine region and still small enough to be person.
Do you want a ton of wineries to choose from? Then choose Niagara, with over 100 wineries there is something for everyone.
Just a few quick tips for wine tour season….
