***The Official Wine Thread***

[BennyLaRue]

Go to a local winery, take their tour, then buy their wine. Through the tour you will learn what kinds of wines to buy to impress people. You'll also learn all kinds of stupid facts about said wine to impress all your friends at what an insufferable douchebag you can be.

This should be sound logic but I'm of the opinion that nobody in Ontario buys cheap Ontario wines. The expensive stuff is good but everything less than $20 is suspect. Would love to be proven wrong though.

More Ontario blasphemy: Ice wine is horrible and the beers from the K-W region are mostly awful.

You've prob not had it with the right food - on its own it is far to sweet.
Try it with cheese - Roquefort (salty French cheese) and Sauternes (the classic sweet French wine) is a an amazing combo. Try an ice wine with say a mature Canadian cheddar. They're both native and would taste great I recon.

And anything sweet! Apple crumple with cinnamon and a glass of chilled ice wine. YES YES YES!

No, I have had it with supposedly ideal pairings. Just not a fan of it. Ditto for port.
