On April 19, 2010 the Californians will be turning Toronto into Napa-, Sonoma-, Carneros-, Paso Robles-, (and every other AVA in between) North. Tonight, a bunch of us writer types were invited to get a small sampling of the more than 400 wines that will be poured that day. Broken down into 7 flights, some as small as 4 wines, others as big as 10, ranging from Chardonnay to a Port-style wine called “Starboard”; 58 wines were poured in total. Below I break ‘em down by favourites in their respective flights.
Flight A – Chardonnay (9 wines poured)
I like that I am consistent in this category... (find out why, and the rest of my Cali-recommends)

Every month, or two, the Wine Writers’ Circle is suppose to get together for a tasting of wines that have been sent in. This month there were too many wine and not enough time during the early March meeting (which I missed because I was out of town); but I got in on this tail-end tasting, which featured the wines that did not get opened earlier this month; turned out to be about 35 wines, within this tasting there were some surprises, some good values and some excellent wines, one or two are available now while the others will be coming your way fairly soon.
Great Value Wines … (find out which wines made the grade)
