Style R1
Ontario: Niagara
Rich ruby-garnet colour. Mellow dark plum, cherry, spice and smokey oak. Very easy on the palate, in a beaujolais weight, with dark berries, plum, smoke and spice, with modest tannins and a firm spine. Good body and length. A wonderful mid-week quaffer, showing lots of distinctive character. Try with vegetarian chilli, pizza or tomato sauces. (LCBO 252882)

This one was a first for me. Aside from being an outright palate-killer, this wine was so coarse, so nasty, that I actually went rifling through my briefcase to see if I had anything resembling a red flag to hang on the bottle as a warning to others. This wine should be sold with a warning label or, better still, packaged up and sent back to its country of origin where even the distillers may have second thoughts about it. Avoid at all costs!

Oooo. Sounds like you tasted a real stinker. With a review like that I WILL avoid it at all costs.
The Henry of Pelham is a different story. I really like that winery. I don't think I've every tasted a bad thing from them. My husband is a lover of Baco and H of P is his number one pick.
Cellar of Shame? Why not call it a Dungeon? Why dignify a Cellar with this sort of thing...
