Description Winemaker Kevin Panagapka has an idea. It’s not new, nor is it unique, but it does allow him to follow his passion of being a winemaker with his own label. He buys the best quality fruit he can and then, to make his wine, rents some space so that he can save a little money (having your own equipment can be expensive), money he doesn’t have, yet. But if he keeps making wine like this, he’ll soon have a tidy sum and his Twenty Twenty-Seven Cellars will have itself a very reputable name. His grapes, for this wine, are sourced from the 30+ year-old block of vines at Featherstone, and as thanks he puts their name front and center on the label. Smells of peach, lemon-lime, lavender and honeydew, along with a few others, find their way into your nose. Flavours are just as enticing on the tongue: citrus, crisp bosc pear and tons of soft white peach. This one’s a real juicy affair with a smooth medium-acid finish which is long on tree fruit – delicious. By the way, the name 20-27 Cellars comes from Kevin’s grower number which he was issued when he registered his small plot of Pinot Noir grapes with the Grape Growers of Ontario. After trying this one, I’m now looking forward to the wine, and you should be too. Only 100 cases were made of this Riesling. Price: $24.95
