Meaningless. Just because it's consistent, doesn't mean it's any good.
We used to buy a Niagara red from a concession at the Loblaws in Oakville. It was discontinued and replaced with a more expensive VQA version that was consistently foul. Cant say Ive ever actually tried their product though...I just see a lot of signs for wineries on the way to the beach now. |

Prince Edward County is getting quite a reputation.... small volume so far, but there are probably 20 or so wineries now in the bit that sticks out into the lake, and a tourist trade to go with it.
Its recently been given its own VQA designation I believe Names to look for? Edit: Found it... http://www.pec.on.ca/pec_yellowpages...p3?category=44 |

Well, have fun anyway.
If you happen to be nearby and have a park pass anyway, North Beach might be worth checking out. Too cold to swim though this early, but its where we usually go later in the summer. Day trips only though, there is no camping there. We had a really good bottle of red last Friday from PEC but can't remember the name of it - still looking forward to exploring some more of Ontario!:thumbsup: kept bottle at home - so will check it out later |

Re: A bear in the neighbourhood!
Back on topic we have had a Fisher in the back yard a few times.
Its usually in the spring, and usually followed a few days later by the simultaneously cute and sad sight of a bunch of now motherless Raccoon cubs. Fishers apparently are pretty vicious. not my picture...they never hang around long enough.. http://wdfw.wa.gov/wlm/diversty/soc/...r_fullbody.jpg |

It's something in wine, so you wouldn't mix gin and wine would you?? That would also be wrong. |

It's probably sulphite. Some cheap red wines are loaded with it and many people react badly. So I'm told.

I've often thought it's sulfites. I react more to blended wines too, cheaper stuff. Though one bottle of vintage ££££ champagne was evil and had to be cancelled out by a more expensive bottle. :thumbsup:

Slippery slope, that. Stick to Beefeaters.
Tanqueray is the gin for me. PS I wasn't paying for the champagne |

Tanqueray is the gin for me. PS I wasn't paying for the champagne I'm not a fan of the sloe; they all taste the same to me. But were I too succumb to the OH's G&T cravings, I'll bear your recommendation in mind. |
