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)

MALIVOIRE - MOIRA VINEYARD CHARDONNAY 2005
This was arguably the best wine we tasted during our trip to the Niagara Peninsula wine region. The Moira vineyard is Malivoire's oldest, and is meticulously maintained in order to produce a superior wine. Much care and craftsmanship goes into this wine and it shows. On the nose are prominent notes of apple, pear, brie, and honey. Flavours of apricot, maple syrup, and vanilla. To say this wine is smooth is an understatement.
