Taste Ontario trade show (Wine Country Ontario) Oct 10/13 report

The Date and Time: Thursday, October 10, 2013  11AM to 5PM

The Event: Taste Ontario, from Wine Country Ontario and Vintages

The Venue: ROM

The Target Audience: wine trade

The Availability/Catalogue: all wines are available, either through the LCBO or through the winery.

The Quote/Background: This is the annual major promotion for Ontario wines, especially to the trade. The media were fortunate enough to have about 3 hours off on their own to taste most of the wines in the show.

The Wines: I did not taste every wine, preferring to try only most of the red and white still table wines. Most of the wines were from Niagara, so for clarity, I added PEC or LENS after other wines. Prices listed are retail consumer unless otherwise specified.

The Food: virtually a repeat of the Chilean adventure, with charcuterie, pate, cheeses, baked ham, and the like, from Daniel et Daniel. The media also got fed salads and sandwiches.

The Downside: there was a major sherry tasting right afterwards across the street at the Gardiner Museum, I needed to clean my palate.

The Upside: there was a media room, with peace and quiet, to allow for concentration. Also, we could sit down.

The Contact Person: Magdalena@winesofontario.org

The Event's Marketing Effectiveness and Execution (numerical grade): 92.

WORLD WINE WATCH (LCBO VINTAGES TIP SHEET) FOR OCTOBER 26, 2013

WORLD WINE WATCH (LCBO VINTAGES TIP SHEET) FOR OCTOBER 26, 2013
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
By DEAN TUDOR, Gothic Epicures Writing deantudor@deantudor.com.
Creator of Canada's award-winning wine satire site at
http://fauxvoixvincuisine.blogspot.com. My Internet compendium
"Wines, Beers and Spirits of the Net" is a guide to thousands of news
items and RSS feeds, plus references to wines, beers and spirits, at
www.deantudor.com since 1994. My tastings are based on MVC (Modal
Varietal Character); ratings are QPR (Quality-to-Price Ratio). Prices
are LCBO retail. Only my top rated wines are here. NOTE: The LCBO does
NOT put out all of the wines of the release for wine writers or product
consultants. Corked wines are not normally available for a re-tasting.

 

======>>>> ** BEST WHITE WINE VALUE OF THE RELEASE *UNDER* $20

 

Joseph Cattin Hatschbourg Gewurztraminer 2010 Alsace Grand Cru,
+259770, $19.95: it is difficult to explain why the LCBO priced this
under $20, but what value!! 13% ABV, over-the-top MVC for
Gewurztraminer, lush tropicality with that zesty off-bitter finish.
Wow! But it all!!  QPR: 93.

 

======>>>> ** BEST RED WINE VALUE OF THE RELEASE *UNDER* $20

 

Chateau de Maison Neuve 2010 Montaigne Saint-Emilion, +351965, $19.95:
best value of the under $20 2010 Bordeaux released today. Lots of
merlot softness and juiciness, noticeably wood-aged, 14.5% ABV, double-
decanting suggested. QPR: 91.

 

======>>>> ** BEST WINE VALUE OF THE RELEASE *OVER* $20

 

Mountadam Patriarch High Eden Shiraz 2009 Eden Valley South Australia,
+906255, $24.95 retail.

4. Chateau Lacombe Noaillac 2010 Medoc, +199091, $18.95: a wine-to-

* DRINK BOOK OF THE MONTH! *

WINES OF THE NEW SOUTH AFRICA; tradition and revolution (University
of California Press, 2013, 324 pages, ISBN 978-0-520-26023-8, $39.95 US
hard covers) is by Tim James, a free lance South African wine
journalist and associate editor of the renowned Platter Guide to South
African Wine. This is both a wine history and a political history,
covering the sweet wines of Constantia (18th and 19th centuries) and the
emerging wine industry, the devastation of the industry by apartheid
policy, and the re-emergence of the South African wine industry after
the 1994 democratic elections. He examines the terroir and climate in
the making of wines, using a regional approach through the Cape,
Stellenbosch, Paarl, Swartland, Tulbagh, and other places. Throughout
there are profiles on about 150 producers and material on wine styles
and blends, and of course grape varieties. The section on KWV is most
interesting to read. There is both a general index and a wine producer
index, as well as bibliographic notes, a statistical table, and sketch
maps.
Audience and level of use: wine lovers, wine reference libraries.
Some interesting or unusual facts: much of the South African wine
industry is still based on brandies and fortified wines.
The downside to this book: I would have liked more statistics.
The upside to this book: well-written and expressed.
Quality/Price Rating: 90.
