There are some dicey Ontario red wines. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Baco Noir to name some. You must really know your producers in the dicey game. Gamay Noir and Cabernet Franc do well in Ontario. Malivoire and Fogolar do very well with Gamay. What about Niagara’s KEW Vineyards? Why not try a KEW Vineyards 2019Continue reading “RKS Wine: Ontario Gamay Gamble”

RKS Film: “A Grand Romantic Gesture”: Thank You For Sparing Me From A Cheesy Romantic Film!
You have probably seen too many cheesy romantic films with a perfect and happy ending. I would rather eat two bags of Cheesies than watch a telescreen generated Harlequin Romance Film. Harlequin films are designed for whom? A cholesterol nightmare would be preferable to suffering through a formulistic romantic film. So with a degree ofContinue reading “RKS Film: “A Grand Romantic Gesture”: Thank You For Sparing Me From A Cheesy Romantic Film!”
Travels to a Different Time By a 12 Year Old Boy: June 1970 On Board the TMVK Knossos to Rhodes
We took a taxi from Athens to its port city Piraeus which was somewhat on the raunchy side of things. We had a cold greasy lunch and then boarded our ship the TMVK Knossos bound for several islands including our destination Rhodes.

RKS Wine: Peter Lehmann’s 2020 Layers
So can you recall the last time you had a dainty wine from Barossa? Those wines are known for their power and depth. Peter Lehmann’s Layers from Adelaide has a very traditional GSM blend (Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre) but it adds to that Tempranillo. It has a black cherry colour. On the nose it hasContinue reading “RKS Wine: Peter Lehmann’s 2020 Layers”

RKS Films: “The Jump”: A Man’s Quest For Freedom Reminds Some Americans About How Lucky They Are!
I travelled extensively in the 1970’s to countries behind the “Iron Curtain” namely the USSR and the countries in its captive communist orbit. I have experienced the lack of political freedom, lack of food and consumer goods and of the repression. I also had some political background as the Iron Curtain was the focus ofContinue reading “RKS Films: “The Jump”: A Man’s Quest For Freedom Reminds Some Americans About How Lucky They Are!”
