Hope everyone is well, making homemade Pizza and sipping some white wine. Here is a nice little read on a GTA-Golden Horseshoe scammer that hits home. Feel free to pass it on. Enjoy your Sunday, we will get a review up tomorrow. -CWG

This is definitely OFF-TOPIC, but I just got wind with this article that the TTC is going to raise fares again, which led one of our fellow readers to send me this little summary of the TTC Business plan, I felt I’d share: TTC Business Model: 1) beg the government for money 2) make sure [...]

ten days away and I have just returned. Wine will be drunk in the days to come, reviews will be posted. chat soon -CWG

Busy things at CWG household, and if you look at the pictures below you will know why, introducing Dantry Danes Boozin’ Bacchus:

Tonight has been a night of beer and EUFA Champions League (Congrats to Barcelona!), and in the spirit of multi-nationalism, hello to all the people from 57 countries that visited CanadianWineGuy.com over the past few days. More reviews of wine, food and life to follow in the days ahead.

I arrived home today to summer, what a glorious day here in Toronto. Back from another trip, on tap for the next few days are a 2004 Burrowing Owl Meritage, a Bordeaux and a bunch of beer at good friends tomorrow night (neat funky micro brews!). I will get the Owl review up tomorrow, till [...]

It has been a bit since I posted, and I do have to thank John for picking up my slack. For those that are not aware I often travel for work, well in the past two months it has been a great deal more travel then has been expected. On top of that, there has [...]

Nothing says Paris like taking a pit stop at a brasserie (does it matter which one?), grabbing a table and watching the world walk by. As we sit close to Congres (Maillot) we are enjoying one of the finest Belgian ‘pressions’ there is, Leffe. Despite my body being unsure of where it is (40 hours [...]

With John picking up all the slack with posts, there is a reason why. I have just spent the past 3 days travelling from Canada to get to Yakutsk. I would talk about the wine if I would dare drink it, so let’s say it is vodka for me, stick with what they know! Chat [...]

No review tonight as it was a martini night. Just wanted to pass on a link to one of the better video-bloggers (or whatever you want to call them) that has an intense and large following. Insightful, humourous and poignant, Phil DeFranco is pretty sharp. His website is here and he has his own youtube [...]

Shockingly (note SARCASM alert) the City of Toronto is going to bump property taxes AGAIN this year. So in 2008 and 2009 they will have instituted their own land transfer tax as well as raised property taxes by 3.75 % and 4%. Couple this with the 20% property assessment raise over the next four years [...]

Well after two plus months we have finally been able to use unpack and move back into our kitchen. The whole process was relatively painless with a three week house/dog sitting and the three week vacation keeping us away from the bulk of the work. Only the past two weeks had been difficult as we [...]

Dinner at La Citta was outstanding from the service, the fried calamari to the ribeye. Our wine was robust and enjoyable despite being opened a tad too early (3-5 years). From Melbourne we travelled southwest, first to a recommened vineyard just outside of Geelong (Pettavel) where we grabbed a few bottles. We left there to [...]

No internet for past few days so no blogs, that means a fast summary since tonnes has happened: – drove from Sydney to Nowra via the Royal National Park, stopped at Garrie beach and enjoyed almost pure solitude despite being only 60 minutes outside of Sydney – grab a few bottles of red and spent [...]

Long day of walking, people, animals and other critters. Started the day off with a fantastic breaky at The Book Kitchen then went straight off to Circular Quai to catch the ferry to the zoo. The Toranga Zoo is one of the worlds best, but six hours of walking later the feeling was we may [...]
