<DIV><B>Subject:</B> OntarioWineReview Newsletter #82 - What Bad Marketing
Dreams are Made of</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hello Fellow Ontario Wine Lovers …<BR> <BR>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.<BR> <BR><B>Also in the
Newsletter …<BR></B>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?”<BR> <BR><B>The Rest of the Best …<BR></B>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.<BR> <BR>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.<BR> <BR>Click below for a printable PDF version of the newsletter or
