RKS 2023 Television: Season Two of “Yukon Harvest” Episode 201 “Yegwúp” Part 1
As a Canadian reviewer of documentaries, I will admit I was getting worn down and forlorn over a seemingly endless stream of depressing documentaries on Canadian aboriginal life. Alcoholism, drug abuse, poor housing, officially mismanaged salmon fisheries including a proliferation of salmon farms destroying aboriginal fish stocks and of course residential schools. These stories mustContinue reading “RKS 2023 Television: Season Two of “Yukon Harvest” Episode 201 “Yegwúp” Part 1”
RKS 2023 Wine: Campanian Memories! A Campanian Aglianico
In 2019 I received an invitation from the Italian Trade Commission in Toronto for a June press trip to Naples. It was mostly wine but there was a trip for a few of us to Pompeii and a walking tour of Naples. What a way to fall in love with Naples and then extend myContinue reading “RKS 2023 Wine: Campanian Memories! A Campanian Aglianico”

RKS 2023 Wine: The French Blush from Tavel! The Great Compromise
We have one of those darker pinkies which will reduce the anxiety of red wine drinkers not drinking red wine with this Rosé in their glass! Yet it might cause a fright to white wine drinkers. Is Tavel Rosé the Great Compromise? Aroma: A very large raspberry assault. And since the blend is Syrah, ClairetteContinue reading “RKS 2023 Wine: The French Blush from Tavel! The Great Compromise”
RKS 2023 Wine: Yalumba Organic Shiraz
Yalumba makes an impeccable organic Viognier. Can they repeat that with their organic Shiraz? Aroma: Full of rich black fruit particularly blackberries and black plums. Palate: Initially the tannins present themselves as softies but increase, not greatly, in intensity. Blackberries, blueberries with a licorice twist.

RKS Literature: Zorba the Greek on Greek and Slavic Women!
“You’d better know, Boss, that the Slavic woman isn’t like these cheap, selfish, self-seeking Greek women who sell sex by the gram and do everything they can to slip it to you underweight, cheating you on the scales. The Slavic woman, Boss, has scales that measure overweight. She gives something extra in sleep, sex andContinue reading “RKS Literature: Zorba the Greek on Greek and Slavic Women!”
RKS 2023 Wine: Yalumba Organic Viognier: Gewurztraminer in Handcuffs?
Reasonably priced Viognier is difficult to find. One of the better “budget” Viogniers I have encountered is the Yalumba Y Series Viognier found in the general list of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) which sells for $15.40. And more often than not it is sold out. How does Yalumba’s 2021 organic Viognier fare?Continue reading “RKS 2023 Wine: Yalumba Organic Viognier: Gewurztraminer in Handcuffs?”
