Subject: OntarioWineReview Newsletter #82 - What Bad Marketing Dreams are Made of


Hello Fellow Ontario Wine Lovers .
 
This week I get my proverbial "panties in a bunch" over something we should all be getting passionate about - our Canadian wine identity . the most recent offender is none other than Vincor, who have managed to make a mockery of the wineries of Canada and Canadian "wine".  That's all I'll say here.  For the rest of my rant you'll have to delve into the newsletter.
 
Also in the Newsletter .
The news isn't all bad folks.  For all you Sauv Blanc fans out there, I have a comparative tasting between the four 2006 Sauvignon Blancs being offered at Vineland.  There's also the light-hearted Ask the Grape Guy, as I'm asked the age-old-question:  "Do You Spit or Swallow?"
 
The Rest of the Best .
The On the Road section has reports from 9 events over the past 2 weeks, with more reports on the way over the next few days.  The May 10 Vintage report is ready for your perusal.  The Weekly Wine Notes focus on a couple of very good Pinot Noirs, one from Prince Edward County the other from Niagara.  And continuing my look at whites for summer, this week the focus is on Chardonnay:  oaked, unoaked and musque.
 
So now it's time to sit back and relax while I get my dander up and try to raise your ire in the process.  Enjoy.
