The outside of Organized Crime was lovely. Needless to say the service was terrible. Once the owners saw that we were on a "Groupon" tour they said that we would have to share 3 wine glasses to sample wine between the six of us. They were quite rude. There were other glasses that were available but they said they did not want to run out as it was a "busy day". Clients who were middle aged, however and did not have "Groupon" were each given glasses. This is the last time I will be visiting this winery.wineo4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10779144727592082828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075663825588959123.post-51289853506521063022011-09-12T21:03:48.971-04:002011-09-12T21:03:48.971-04:00I just had a bottle of this 2000 Cabernet Franc (1...I just had a bottle of this 2000 Cabernet Franc (11 years old).

We currently have a contest running until January 5, 2011 where Trius Wines is offering one lucky winner and a guest the chance to Rediscover Trius During a Wine Country Weekend. I thought some of your readers might want to enter. <br /><br />Good luck =)Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04545515523198969517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075663825588959123.post-13897069358188136742010-11-30T16:33:36.694-05:002010-11-30T16:33:36.694-05:00Hi Michael, how long to lay this one down in the c...Hi Michael, how long to lay this one down in the cellar?NatCookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11398466438401594300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075663825588959123.post-52629488559584895662010-08-06T10:33:11.322-04:002010-08-06T10:33:11.322-04:00I actually love most of Wayne's wines.

As a hockey fan, I decided to try them - but as a wine fan, I keep going back!<br />(Cheesy - but true).<br />I just joined their facebook fan page too - because they'll be posting updates on signing sessions and stuff. Would be great to have Wayne (or Walter) sign a bottle!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04188258455883697450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075663825588959123.post-32349719097470595842010-04-13T17:56:01.514-04:002010-04-13T17:56:01.514-04:00any thoughts to using iTunes for your podcasts?any thoughts to using iTunes for your podcasts?Blizzard093https://www.blogger.com/profile/14051342719693781519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075663825588959123.post-56157834440625112232010-01-01T08:45:29.917-05:002010-01-01T08:45:29.917-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075663825588959123.post-45382697487437096522009-12-04T12:58:40.159-05:002009-12-04T12:58:40.159-05:00The Rogue's Lot is a great value.

Quite similar in many ways to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc tends to have higher acid and lighter tannins than it's offspring with fruit in the redder end of the spectrum and a distinctive and aggressive herbal note that can dominate the wine's aromas.It tastes even better with some great <a href="http://www.royalhabanos.com/" rel="nofollow">Cuban Cigars</a>.Martin Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12272241018981271312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075663825588959123.post-90490708994628064652009-09-18T04:23:31.901-04:002009-09-18T04:23:31.901-04:00Country singer Trace Akins couldn’t have describe ...Country singer Trace Akins couldn’t have describe this wine any better … “This is for all you sophisticated ladies out there”<br /><br />This is one wine that would have been a better selection for Pelee Island’s new wine series marketed to female wine drinkers called “Stepped up to the Plate series”.<br /><br />This Late Harvest Riesling is sweet, not “ice wine” sweet but sweet enough that you should probably serve this one as a dessert wine.<br /><br />Picked up lime a basket full of fruits in this one, lime, green apples and pear. The pear was near the end in a nice smooth transition. Very well balanced wine from start to finish.<br /><br />Could be a summer sipper, or perhaps better as an after dinner cocktail.<br /><br />I like to drink this with Cuban cigars which are the <a href="http://www.gocubans.com/" rel="nofollow">Best Cigars</a> in the world.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06762220011543973380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075663825588959123.post-12570154075180276932008-10-04T11:00:00.000-04:002008-10-04T11:00:00.000-04:00You probably didn't miss anything.

My boyfriend and I tried the 20 Bees Baco Noir last night (I know, not the same kind, but I'm going to comment anyway), and the taste was so offensive that it prompted me to look for reviews to see if this was consistent or if we just got a really bad batch. The wine single-handedly managed to make all other cheap wines I have ever tasted in my life amazing by comparison. It is the very first wine that I unable to force myself to finish. The taste reminded me of your standard home-made wine that friends are often trying to pawn off on you, only it was much worse. If you accidentally get this wine, open the bottle, and pour yourself a glass, I suggest that you get some cheese (we tried cheddar and that was ok) and eat a piece right before every single sip. Don't wait too long between eating the cheese and taking a sip. Drinking it with a rich meal helps too. My guess is eat anything that tastes stronger than the wine to help mask the taste. Carrots and hummus don't work. Just DON'T drink it by itself but preferably not at all. There are so many tolerable cheap wines out there to spend your few dollars on.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08789421739119442502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075663825588959123.post-23527815169460066532008-09-24T10:30:00.000-04:002008-09-24T10:30:00.000-04:00Not entirely correct...

Also, price changes in general are expensive for the LCBO, as they have a lot of things to which they need to make adjustments, such as price tags, marcom pieces, publications, web sites, etc.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, this isn't a problem for the LCBO only. Most large retailers in most industries feel the same about swings in wholesale prices.<BR/><BR/>Let's face it...vintage variation is as old as winemaking. We just have to learn to deal with it as best as possible, producers and retailers.<BR/><BR/>Jeff Aubry<BR/>President, Coyote's Run Estate WineryJeff Aubryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13896306476043420840noreply@blogger.com
