| Niagara, Ontario
Aromas of strawberry, burnt popcorn, and currant. Burnt rubber and popcorn protrude on the palate where they are joined by cherry and charcoal. Short finish, ~15-20s. "Blech" was heard a couple times at the table. Quite unpleasant. 74 points (08/07/2004). | | | |

| | The region West of Niagara. The building housing the tasting room is beautiful, but I have yet to taste a drinkable wine from Malivoire. | | | |

| | Yes, as Board-O said, this comes from Niagara. It's awful. | | | |

| | Futronic, let me know when you get down this way. We can visit a few Long Island wineries. Don't worry about getting drunk. You'll want to spit. | | | |

| Hey ... would you look at that. All my identification just spontaneously combusted. Guess I can't cross the border! Sorry, Board-O.

| It's funny you mention how the 2000 was awful; for some reason, I remember reading a similar account of some other Malivoire wines. I do remember hearing that the 2002 Pinot Noir sold really really well, apparently picked up by a number of restaurants. I never got a chance to try it, when I visited there a few months ago it was all gone.
Board_O, when did you last visit Malivoire? (and sub-question, if you remember, what did you sample?) | | | |

| | Little over a year ago. I have my notes in a drawer. I will try to find them later. | | | |
