Some wine drinkers love a big Australian Red and as I say almost every wine has a time and place! I would prefer a hearty red with a rich mushroom based vegetarian dish or with grilled beef. But I certainly wouldn’t want it with fish as it will end up tasting tinny. On the otherContinue reading “RKS Wine :Nothing Dainty About McLaren Vale Reds But Can They Be Elegant?”

RKS Wine: The Pandora’s Box Exposes the Penniless Pensioner as a Possible Tax Fraudster!
Dear readers you might want to say the Penniless Pensioner has traveled from bad to worse. His seemingly inevitable break up with his fiancé Celine Serpent and blockbuster news today about his naming in the Pandora’s Box leak by certain media outlets of alleged offshore tax cheaters. I just knew these Panamanian bank accounts ofContinue reading “RKS Wine: The Pandora’s Box Exposes the Penniless Pensioner as a Possible Tax Fraudster!”
RKS Wine: Paul Mas: Can He Deliver Yet Again?
At $13.95 one can be surprised and delighted at least by the Paul Mas Viognier we recently tried. Can he deliver with a Rousanne? It has a pale gold colour. On the nose a solid blast of peach, apricot, pineapple and honey. On the palate there is a certain grittiness and traction. This is noContinue reading “RKS Wine: Paul Mas: Can He Deliver Yet Again?”
RKS Wine :Douro is great but what about the Alentejano?
Let’s face in. The spotlight for international wine lovers in Portugal has been the Douro region about an hour by train from Porto to Douro wine country. Of course, even better is taking a cruise along the Douro River over to wine country. Porto was a bit rough on the edges a decade ago butContinue reading “RKS Wine :Douro is great but what about the Alentejano?”
RKS Wine: Enough of those Wimpy Rosés
I try not to impose too many of my dislikes upon your taste buds as if you like a certain style of wine good for you and enjoy it as long as it is well made and without flaws. I suppose what I am saying honour your preferences and don’t let a wine writer bullyContinue reading “RKS Wine: Enough of those Wimpy Rosés”
RKS Wine: The Penniless Pensioner in Naples: I am worried!
After his engagement with Celine Serpent seemed to implode PP seems to have become a bit unhinged. He was put on tranquilizers by his therapist. And I receive an e-mail from him saying he is in Naples negotiating some cheese importation deal. I hope he knows who he is dealing with as when last inContinue reading “RKS Wine: The Penniless Pensioner in Naples: I am worried!”
RKS Wine: The Penniless Pensioner Ratches Down His Cali Cab Expectations!
The Penniless Pensioner appears flushed with cash but his period of austerity has infused a “budget streak” in the man who laments the amount of money he once spent on trophy wines. He seems to have an obsession to troll the bottom end of the monetary scale for wine and he loves the challenge toContinue reading “RKS Wine: The Penniless Pensioner Ratches Down His Cali Cab Expectations!”
RKS Wine: The Penniless Pensioner is Rolling in Dough; Are South African Wines Beneath Him?
We last left the Penniless Pensioner stewing over his impending marriage to “converted lesbian” Celine Serpent. Well he phoned me gleefully the other night saying his Panamanian bank accounts had been unfrozen and cash was rolling his way. He bought a small house in the Leaside area of Toronto and drives a new Volvo SContinue reading “RKS Wine: The Penniless Pensioner is Rolling in Dough; Are South African Wines Beneath Him?”
CREW 2019 Riesling: A Unique Lake Erie North Shore Perspective
I have been to Colchester Ridge Estate Winery (CREW) a few times. It was a rather rustic winery then but things have changed and perhaps it is time to revisit and catch up with progress. I have had a soft spot for CREW Riesling as I find it more Germanic in style than many ofContinue reading “CREW 2019 Riesling: A Unique Lake Erie North Shore Perspective”
RKS Wine: Is There Such Thing as a Golfer’s Wine?
If you are a golfer you’ll recognize the name “Callaway” as a manufacturer of golf equipment and golf balls. I work at a golf course a couple of days a week as a Marshall and the golf cart lady does good business with beer but there is no wine in her cart. So with aContinue reading “RKS Wine: Is There Such Thing as a Golfer’s Wine?”
