Stonechurch Vineyards 2004 Gewurztraminer

Looking for a great patio wine, then I might have found one for you … wonderful tropical fruit nose with pineapple, kiwi, peach, apricot, some apple and mild petrol. The taste follows the nose into tropical territory, with a little something extra: peaches, pineapple and some limeade-sweet citrus – but not too heavily sweet. In fact, it has a drier then expected finish – especially when compared to that sweet tropical nose. As the wine warms, it develops characteristics of celery and asparag...

Cox Creek NV Late Harvest Gerwurztraminer

Now here is an interesting idea: take a non-conventional style of wine (Late Harvest Gerwurztraminer), pair it with a not so traditional dinner (Mennonite Meat Pie) and see what happens. Surprisingly good things. With a honey pear nose, hints of melon and a medium short finish, you’d think dinner would be ruined pairing it with this beverage … but not so. This semi-dry (3) wine paired perfectly with the mild spices in the meat pie, in fact it went deliciously well. Bringing out the meat and...

Palatine Hills 2004 Fume Blanc/Chardonnay

Here’s one wine I consider a twofer – you can drink it, or you can play around with it to make something even more special. Let’s start with the drinking part: a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay – yet the Sauv really has the upper hand over the Chard here, with a 73-27 split of the duties. Pouring it into the glass, you’ll first notice a wonderful straw colour. Stick your nose in the glass and you’ll get garden salad smells galore like fresh cucumber, carrots and celery, mixed in with...

Lakeview Cellars 2005 Kerner

Many years ago, I bought my first bottle of Kerner from Lakeview. It had a bit of residual sweetness with a lovely mouth feel and taste. It also proved to be amazingly popular, especially for a grape variety that people rarely, if ever, hear about. Recently, and for the first time in a long time, I was able to put my hands on a bottle. This time, it was the 2005 Vintage – and I suspect it is going to be as popular as ever. Mangoes, peaches, pears, and honey accost the nose, mixing with a ve...

Featherstone 2004 Off-Dry Riesling

People are going to start thinking I’m obsessed with summer, and who knows, maybe I am - here’s yet another wine I can recommend for summer patio sipping. This off-dry Riesling is more dry than off, with notes of mango, apricot, lychee, pineapple and just a tinge of green apple – and some great floral notes to boot. The taste is a little more reserved including exotic fruit like kiwi and some citrusy-lime. The finish is pleasant and refreshing with just the barest hint of spritz. This 2004 i...
