From the Cellar

Just because I started a website called OntarioWineReview.com doesn't mean it's All-Ontario-All-the-Time. When I kick back at night my mood (and sometimes my curiosity) decides my wine of choice. And the title should read, "Uncorked and Un-Screwed Tonight" ... but that just sounds wrong.

Bonari 2015 Appassimento Selento (Italy)

05 Oct 2018

Bonari

 

(March 8, 2017) ...

Sobon 2014 Hillside Zinfandel, Amador County (California)

05 Oct 2018

Sobon 2014 Hillside Zin

 

(March 6, 2017) ... So full of plummy black cherry, mocha and vanilla with a gorgeously long finish - it was a pure delight; and with some time in glass it developed further, adding a touch of white pepper to the finish with good acidity helping to balance off the 14.3% alcohol.
