The 2018 vintage of the Bella Terra Red is a blend of the three main red varietals that grow in their vineyards: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Beef Bourguignon recipe and video.
This is my personal recipe for this dish. I’ve taken the liberty to add techniques and ingredients that I learned in Chateauneuf du Pape, with additional ideas from my Austrian heritage. These factors produce a delicious and rich version of the popular stew. //embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js Ingredients One 6-ounce piece of chunk bacon3 ½ tablespoons olive oil3 pounds marbled stewing…

Cabernet Sauvignon, Cab Franc, and Merlot
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cab Franc, and Merlot
The trio of Bordeaux originals that have take the entire world by storm! Three “big” full bodied red wines to enjoy. Whether a bottle that’s a blend of all three varietals from Bordeaux, or choose individually as a single varietal from a region like California, Australia, or South Africa, these are the blockbusters that satisfy the palate wanting a bold and complex red wine.

Sauvignon Blanc
(classic tasting notes of cut grass, lemon, herbs and a hint of gooseberry) Sauvignon Blanc is a popular alternative to Chardonnay. It makes a crisp, light wine. The grape and vinification history originated in Bordeaux and the Loire Valley. Notes: Herbal flavors, olive and a soft, smoky flavor. It can range from sweet to dry, but is typically quite light. American Sauvignon Blanc is often…

Wine Country
I’m dreaming! Dreaming of hopping into a gleaming white sport Coupe, with a few ponies under the hood, tooling through south of France wine country. In my fantasy, I’m negotiating winding roads through the dazzling countryside along the Rhône River.
This route passes through meticulously manicured vineyards, edged by the mountains, and clustered with quaint historic villages. But with this…

Bordeaux Wine Region (king of them all)
Bordeaux Wine Region (king of them all)
Bordeaux is the top wine region in the world. Not just legendary and cultural, it also produces the top wines. These wines serve as a benchmark for all others.
Bordeaux is an Eighteenth Century architectural and cultural gem. The city by that name has 600,000 residents and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is the largest urban entity to be so honoured. But history and architecture are only…

The boys already have their first product up and running. Until the tanks are installed, the beer is lovingly brewed nearby by Jeff, who truly knows how to make a great craft beer.
Their Kölsch is an easy drinking lager style ale that is pleasant…

Gigondas means historic beautiful wine!
I simply adore Gigondas, Rhône, France. The place. The wines. I have pleasant memories of visiting a while back. Beautiful Gigondas village, in the Southern Rhône, is a cute and historic village with stone edifices, narrow lanes and steep hills. The wines are charming and iconic. Area wine regions include Gigondas, Vacqueyras, & Beaumes de Venise. A few recent additions to the Vintages section at…

Astronomy is an awe-inspiring subject, highly recommended with a sparkling wine!
Astronomy. Enjoying the beauty of the heavens … with a glass of sparkling wine! This is about the biggest stretch for a wine writer, but bear with me. It’s a leisure activity just like wine (sort of). But do let me bring wine into the picture. Enjoy a glass of sparkling wine as you peer into the heavens with binoculars, telescope or via high res photos on the web. Allow me to share a few good…

Smithavens Brewing Company crafting attention-getting beers
Smithavens Brewing of Peterborough is doing a great job getting their award-winning ales and lagers into The Beer Store, grocery stores and LCBO. I’m happy about that because they make such great beers. You can’t beat small batch naturally brewed Ontario craft beer. It’s not loaded with chemicals like the stuff from the big breweries. These beers taste fresh and natural. Generally they have just…

Happy Crowd at PondView
The Baroness and I had the good fortune to attend the PondView Harvest party this past weekend. Best fun we’ve had in Niagara all year. PondView is a happening winery that is creating some good buzz. They’re producing fine wines and have a good sense of marketing to fuel their growth.
The weekend harvest party was super fun and attended by several hundred people, all with smiles on their faces. This is what a winery event should be all about, and it delivered. We started with samplers of a few of our regular favourites (Riesling and the new Sauvignon Blanc), and soon added a meat and cheese plate to our enjoyment. The music was Sandy Vine & the Midnights. They deliver all the top hits you know, can sing along with, and dance to.
We highly recommend you seek out PondView wines at LCBO or by visiting the winery. And please do mark September 2018 on your calendars for the next Harvest Party.
