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.

(June 11, 2017) ... Open this bottle on a whim and found out I was in for a great sip, this was one outstanding Riesling ... Slight petrol on the nose, but not unexpected based on its age, but there was still some apricot, a little dill and some peach pit. Acidity still kept this wine very much alive, plus there was an extra long finish; it surprising that it even went well with pizza - then again I think it would have gone well with just about anything.

(May 7, 2017) ... I will come right out and say it, I'm a Chromy fan, it's my favourite winery from Tasmania and, if pushed, would rank in my top ten for Australia ... This 8 year old Pinot Noir did nothing to dissuade me from that opinion: stunning and fresh with lots of sour black cherry, with hints of earthy, good acidity, and a long cranberry finish. This could have gone another 5 years with no problem. Must look to see if I have another and try out that theory.
