Ontario Wines Reviewed : The Best Tasted in 2021 (vol. 22-02)
11 Feb 2022- Details
- Category: Newsletter Archives
People are always asking me the best wines I tried, or my top wines in one category or another. This year I brought them all together in one newsletter. Here are the top wines from the top six grapes in Ontario (in my opinion). Below you will see my top scoring wines in the category of Chardonnay, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc (whites) and Cabernet Franc, Gamay Noir and Pinot Noir (reds).
Below that are my four Most Watched Videos of 2021 - interesting to note two are from Chile, one is from Ontario and the other is of Italian in origin.
I have also launched a Patreon page - I have added some concrete incentives for my supporters (and will be adding more in the form of unique and exclusive content) so take a look, see how you can help and as always I appreciate any support you can give - you can find it by clicking here.
Be safe - stay healthy - drink well - get vaccinated.
