Eating lunch with the field workers which you often do as a journalist visiting a quintaContinue reading “RKS Wine: Crasto A Classic Douro Red”

RKS Wine: 2020 Meyer Family Vineyards McLean Creek Road Vineyard Chardonnay
In terms of Canadian wine from where I sit Ontario is touted as a wonderful “Cold Climate” Chardonnay producer. While I would not call the Okanagan in British Columbia “cold climate” I would say guys muscle into any claims that Ontario makes a superior Chardonnay. The Okanagan Chards I have tasted can kick butt toContinue reading “RKS Wine: 2020 Meyer Family Vineyards McLean Creek Road Vineyard Chardonnay”

The lightbulb flashed in Zodiac’s head something akin the attack of the mutant killer ants happening below his window in the streets of Montreal.

Passage of the Day from the Late Rebecca Wasserman-Hone Credited With Putting Burgundy Wines on the Map in America

“My Life as a Golf Marshall” :So You Want to Become a Golf Marshall? Do You Have the Right Stuff?
Now if you look on the internet about being a golf Marshall the conclusion of aggravated golfers would be you have to be white, retired, overbearing and ill mannered. Pardon me what a load of bullshit! Do not let a few angry and pissed off golfers create an impression of negativity. I see so fewContinue reading ““My Life as a Golf Marshall” :So You Want to Become a Golf Marshall? Do You Have the Right Stuff?”
RKS Films: “The Dance”
This 2021 Irish documentary perhaps has done wonders with a person that had little tolerance for improvisational dance. That person is me. The documentary directed by Pat Collins in a very hands-off fashion chronicles the creation and rehearsal of an Irish production of improvisational dance by Irish choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan and his dance troupe ofContinue reading “RKS Films: “The Dance””
