Wine tastings by Chris (aka Cheese Toast) and Jules. We are by no means experts, but find it fun to keep a record of what we sample. Many of the wines are available locally in the area we currently live (Vancouver, London ON, and now Boston)

ANGELS GATE CABERNET MERLOT 2004
Had this a few nights ago along with beef stir fry. We picked up this bottle during our wine tour of the Niagara Peninsula two weekends ago, and I must say I liked it a lot better than the sample I had at the winery. It was very mellow, with just the right boldness that I look for in this type of red. It had a resiny nose, and a nice brownish tinge in the class that indicated some aging. Hints of saddle leather (don't you love it?) and plum. Very satisfying.
