Misc. Ramblings
I am sorry that I have been tardy in posting but the week was a killer.
Last weekend we went to the Gordon Ramsay book-signing in Burlington, only to find out it was a wristband only affair. I really wish Indigo would have posted that on their website. Oh well, we had gone to Niagara on the way so it wasn’t a total loss.
There will be many posts on our Niagara trip. Two restaurant reviews….I wish both were here...and many wine reviews. It seems really good up there and the wine, well lets say that it is very very good.
I am taking a break from prepping for tonight's Meritage derby. The suave and sophisticated one and I tweaked our methodology so it will be totally blind. The combatants are arranged side by side on the top shelf of my wine fridge and will be decanted and aerated by Myles, therefore we will not know what we are drinking. Only variable will be the carafes as I don’t have 5 the same.
I was speaking with Pete the Elder last evening. He was wondering why I always like the wine I review. He wasn’t aware that I buy all my wine for review, therefore, I buy what I like. That is why Baco Noir, Zwiegelt, Vidals et al seem to be missing. If I was given a bottle to review, and yes I have gotten 3 total, I will give an honest review and will say what I think. If I was to review, say Colio Bianco Secco that bad review would be forthcoming, but since I drive a diesel and no longer have a carburetor to clean, that wine will not grace my table.
There is my bad review.
I also am giving my best wishes to our soon to be departing friend, Pete the Younger aka Allan Park Pete. Seems he just wants to be a cowboy and looks to be heading for Calgary. Good luck and watch out for them thar cow-pies. I bet he’s got his hat already and the country music to boot. YEEEE-HAWWWW!!! I give him a month before he buys a big ol pick up truck with steer horns on the hood.
