    Loving @RemyCharest's description of a standout French red blend, "Peppery, fun nose. Olives and dark berry jam. Good stuff." #IVWA2012

    RT @cowtownwine: Incredible Moscato flight #ivwa2012. Many pretty, many flabby, but a few were beautiful sippers. Terroir driven @BillZacharkiw n'est pas?

    Day 1 of #ivwa2012 finished off for Team Noir with a flight of Syrahs and 3 diverse late harvest vinos. Time for a cleansing ale!

    @WineAccessMag That sounds like my kind of day! RT The sounds of popping sparkling corks fills the backroom at #IVWA2012.

    "Tang, mango, pear, spice, lemon peel. Juicy, vibrant with hints of tropical/stone fruit," says @bensigurdson on white blend star #IVWA2012

    Some praise coming from #IVWA2012 judges on a standout riesling. "Gooseberry, crab apple, meyer lemon, mineral. Good acid/sugar balance."

    Don't hate oaked Chard! Sometimes we need a slutty, oaky, buttery chard on the couch with a bag of popcorn. #ivwa2012

    Really liked a couple of oaked chards. One had cotton candy/cream soda aromas and flavours and a looooong finish #ivwa2012

    Great flight of Italian Red Blends at #ivwa2012, Hater panel was pleased. @BillZacharkiw @EdmontonWineGuy should agree.
