Ontario and BC wine is okay. I prefer white and I find the whites to be rather nice; I can't really speak to reds, though I had a nice Ontario Merlot a few years ago. Can't remember the name, unfortunately.

There's so much wine outside of the US and Canada though. Chilean wine has pleasantly surprised me lately, like you say. I also like a lot of the stuff coming out of Australia. You may be able to tell I'm on a budget, lol.
