Aroma: Lemon, lime, guava, peach, pineapple and mango. Wow this has lots going on! Palate: Despite all the fruitish bouquet activity there is a certain austerity on the palate and despite 12 months ageing in oak it has a clean stainless-steel backbone, or least that is the way it presents itself. Try and try youContinue reading “RKS 2025 CANADIAN Wine: 2021 Nomad Fumé Blanc From Niagara, Ontario”

RKS 2025 CANADIAN Wine: Hare Cabernet Merlot from Niagara Ontario: This Hare Got Lost on the Racetrack and Was Beaten by the Snail
For my ex-Canada readers, the Niagara wine region is a couple of hours drive from Toronto God and traffic willing. Ok I admit the automobile trip from Toronto is shall we say diplomatically, less than inspiring but becomes much more interesting once you clear The Burlington Skyway Bridge and fumes of Hamilton and hit theContinue reading “RKS 2025 CANADIAN Wine: Hare Cabernet Merlot from Niagara Ontario: This Hare Got Lost on the Racetrack and Was Beaten by the Snail”
RKS 2025 CANADIAN Film: “Morningside”: Life, Suffering and Death in Scarborough, Ontario: Classic American Inner-City Drama?
Scarborough is one of those “distant” suburbs of Toronto so far away from Toronto it is sometimes referred to as Scarberia. Not a great reputation among many of us Torontonians. My sole experience with Scarborough is that it is a landmark for me driving home from Montreal on the 401 Highway ironically signalling I amContinue reading “RKS 2025 CANADIAN Film: “Morningside”: Life, Suffering and Death in Scarborough, Ontario: Classic American Inner-City Drama?”

RKS 2024 Film: Sailing with the H.M.S. Hollywood Suite to The Highland Cinemas in Kinmount, Ontario: “The Movie Man” Up Close and Personal! Part Three!
“Movie Man” is a Canadian documentary about 5 very special theatres and the man that created them. Keith Stata started construction of Highland Cinema in 1975 and in 1979 the theatre opened and through gradual expansion there are now 5 cinemas. Stata bluntly states it was his “stupid idea” to build Highland Cinemas. Architecturally youContinue reading “RKS 2024 Film: Sailing with the H.M.S.

RKS 2024 Film: Sailing with the H.M.S. Hollywood Suite to The Highland Cinemas in Kinmount, Ontario: “The Movie Man” Up Close and Personal! Part Two!
No beautiful people (other than myself) are greeting us and where is the red carpet? A local Kinmount matron with a big smile ushers us into the cinema with a bag of popcorn. Speaking of food why is there no mall with a Montana’s and 16 other restaurants down the street? I mean we areContinue reading “RKS 2024 Film: Sailing with the H.M.S.

A film critic slaves away under the oppression of well intentioned but unpaid blogs. Wowzers the return is incredible! All the movies you can watch which you can spend 6-7 hours writing about after watching a film with an occasional thank you. No way to make a living but rather an endorsement of poverty. SoContinue reading “RKS 2024 Film: Sailing with the H.M.S. Hollywood Suite to The Highland Cinemas in Kinmount, Ontario: “The Movie Man” Up Close and Personal! Part One!”
RKS 2024 Travel: Canada Day Cake Parade at Niagara-on-the-Lake
On 1July2024 I had the surreal pleasure of marching in the annual Niagara-on-the-Lake Cake Parade. It has been a Canada Day fixture for some two decades now. Queen Street is cordoned off and several thousand line it. Yes the drums of the 41st Fife and Drum Corps Regiment can be heard way down Queen StreetContinue reading “RKS 2024 Travel: Canada Day Cake Parade at Niagara-on-the-Lake”
