	Ridgepoint Wines 2007 Unoaked Chardonnay As the weather heats up, the wines we drink are all about the two F’s – fruity and fun. Who wants to be taxed on a hot summer afternoon by vanillas, cinnamons and heavy oak? These are the days that Unoaked Chardonnay was made for. This Ridgepoint unoaked is a perfect summertime beverage – the fruits are all tropical both on the nose and in the mouth. Smells of pineapple and banana puree hit the olfactories, with pineapple and a touch of tart citrus flog the tongue. Lovely and so very, for la... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 183 ]
	Palatine Hills 2006 Unoaked Chardonnay I have a friend who likes Palatine Hills, though I am not sure it’s for the right reasons. Most people like a winery based on their wines, she likes Palatine because of Max (the dog) and “the cute old guys” behind the counter. Barring those two things she can’t remember anything about them when I mention the place. Well here’s something that might help jar her memory – the ’06 Chardonnay: totally light, fruity and refreshing – especially for the upcoming summer months. The smells and taste ...

	Cattail Creek 2007 Chardonnay Musque Chardonnay Musque is starting to really make a name for itself here in Ontario. It’s a preferred wine by many who like fruitiness in their Chrad rather than really heavy oak. You’ll now notice that plenty of wineries make a Musque and the aromas and tastes suit the hot weather, some even make it a tad sweet. The newest Niagara-on-the-Lake winery, Cattail, has leapt onto the Musque table with all four paws, but there’s a twist. This wine rested on its lees for three months, though I bet you c...

	Lailey Vineyard 2006 Niagara River Chardonnay Derek Barnett, winemaker for Lailey, made a name for himself making Chardonnay for a little known winery (at the time) called Southbrook. Today, after about 17 years experience and plenty of creative, diverse and excellent Chards under his belt he still relishes making his oaked Chardonnays. They offer up such pleasure for the palate and, for those with some patience, cellar-worthiness. This ’06 version made from 100% of the estates “older vines” (planted between 1978 and 1982) has an amazing... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 186 ]
	Lailey Vineyard 2007 Unoaked Chardonnay I’ve heard it said, on more than one occasion, that Unoaked Chardonnay is boring – the winemaker can’t manipulate it like he does with an oaked version. That’s why lees is beginning to play a bigger role in the making of this kind of wine. Lees are those dead yeast cells which are allowed to drop to the bottom of the tank where they lie around adding more complexity to the wine. Some choose to stir these around, thus adding further depth of flavour and aromas to the wine. Lailey’s version re... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 161 ]
