The Canadian Opera Company's annual fine wine auction is scheduled for Thursday, April 17, 2008 and is being held at Crush Restaurant. I haven't been to this auction before but ordered my tickets today. Tickets cost $35. Here's a snippet...
Last night, the CBC aired a surprisingly interesting 1 hour special dedicated to fine wine in full HD. The show was called Wine Confidential and featured interviews from Robert Parker (when he was up here last year for the Halpern...
It's been pretty quiet of late, but Vintages has announced the March Classics catalogue… The much heralded 2005 Vintage of Burgundy features several Faiveley and Jadot selections. Expensive yes, indeed. It's quite a packed list actually with many interesting options...
Vintages hosted members of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux for a tasting of the much hyped 2005 vintage. This event was held at the Four Seasons with decent, but far from complete representation from both right and left...
It's hard to imagine that today's Miller Tavern bears any relationship to the old Jolly Miller tavern. The new place looks great with a warm bar lounge area on the main floor and proper restaurant seating upstairs. In the summer,...

The annual Ritchies Fine Wine auction was very interesting for a number of reasons. Once again, I was shocked by the prices that the most famous lots went for compared to auctions down south or across the pond. It demonstrates...
It's been a year since the last post, but I've had enough people push me to start the blog rolling again. The funny thing is that the overall scene hasn't changed very much but I very much enjoyed the recent...
Just noticed the 'Tutored Tastings' offered at this years Gourmet Food & Wine Expo. There are a couple of interesting tastings for wine geeks, especially the tasting of the 2003 Bordeaux First Growths. We've signed up - hopefully the pours...
It's been way too long since my last update, but Vintages has posted the lineup for the Winter/Holiday Classics collection. The Classics collection operates as a lottery for the most sought after wine so it's important to get orders in...
