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.

Consilience 2011 Syrah (California)

Consilience Syrah

(October 20, 2016) ... Never heard of this producer but I'm glad I picked up a bottle, there's some nice white pepper character right off the hop and that segues into spiced-raspberry and juicy blackberry; it's a real pleasing red.

Trentadue 2006 Old Patch Red (California)

26 Dec 2017

Trentadue 2006 Old Patch Red(October 16, 2016) ... Found this wine in the back of the wine cellar and remembered it to be a delicious wine at the time I bought it, it was really fruit forward and delicious. What would it be like now 10 years from vintage date?  The surprise was all mine as I found there to be lots of plum, white pepper and spiced black cherry - it also showed quite a high acidic character - I did not expect to actually be drinking this wine at 10 years of age so it was a fabulous discovery.
