Ya know there isn't a wine you people have mentioned here that i have not puchased some brand of in search of a decent bottle of Canuk wine....None of them did anything for me....maybe i'm sensitive to the canadian tanins....but to call me ignorant cause i see them as swillish...there i came down a notch...there is this very cheap canadian brand solo nero both the red and the white are palatable for me....i can handle them.....but seriously a cheap screw off cap of white calis obanni italian will out perform any canadian white you put beside it...ignorant is not a word i would use towards a wine discussion....
I drink mainly Canadian wines. One would be hard-pressed to find a better Chardonnay than what Sawmill Creek, or Jackson Triggs, produce for the price. Both of these companies make a very passable Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. There are many others. Calling Canadian wines swill is just pure ignorance. Doc should know better....or maybe he shouldn't.

The go-to drink.
Anybody get drunk on Baby Duck when they were young? Speaking of rot gut. I still can not drink a sparkling wine. Even Dom Perignon would make me hurl.

Doc I seriously doubt you would recognise a good wine if it landed on your head. I've spent years in Europe and I've experienced the best wine Europe had to offer. My guess is that you are used to wine that comes in gallon jugs with a finger ring on the neck....Either that or the kind you drink out of a brown paper bag.

Jackson Triggs make a very nice Chardonay, an excellent Sommet Blanc, and a pretty decent Chablis, for eight or nine dollars a bottle. For the price you can't do any better. You want to call it swill....go for it.

For those who make their own wines, Triedit and Dexter, do you grow your own grapes, or is it one of those kit dealies? I'm not a big fan of those kits, but I do love the other option I mentioned. When I was going to school in Fredericton, a friend of mine invited me over to his uncles for dinner. He sent us back with 8 bottles, the port was delicious. He did grow his own grapes. I would like to give that a try when I'm out of school and have some property to tend to.

I have always found Jost makes a very tasty inhebriant, I particularly like the 12.5-13% range of swillable wild berry wines they produce at encourageing prices, I'v been doing Comtessa all summer. They all go with cornbeef hash, which is convienient.
Jost vineyards in Nova Scotia has won international awards for it's wine. It's very good, as good as anything coming out of Australia, California or South Africa.

Of the commercial varieties I've sampled recently, the Naked Grape brand seems pretty decent, and good value for the money. They make a very nice unoaked Chardonnay and a Merlot that were quite palatable.

Mine too. Grapes don't grow in Saskatchewan, and I'm not about to try making wine out of dandelions or any of the little berries that do grow around here. Too much like work. Never tried any ice wine, I haven't liked the commercial stuff I've sampled and don't feel inclined to try making something I'm pretty sure I won't like much. I'm no wine snob either, though some kit-users are. There are several grades of kits available, which at the low end will cost about $2-$3 a bottle to make and go up to around $7-$8 a bottle, but frankly my palate isn't sophisticated enough to detect much difference, and the high end stuff takes a lot longer and a lot more work.
Nah, ours is from a kit.
