Sanson Estate Winery 2003 Autumn Harvest Vidal

Maybe it’s the advent of summer – the hot weather, the sun beating down, the stillness of the air – but something screams whites to most of us at this time of the year – especially in the mid to late afternoon. This Sanson offering is perfect for that time of day – typical tropical fruit on the nose: mangoes and pears, semi-sweet, taste of light honeyied pear on the palate and a well balanced sweetness versus acidity. Well chilled this is a beautiful wine for summer sipping. Cheers … Salut …...

Inniskillin 2003 Late Autumn Riesling

This has always been one of my perennial favourites from Inniskillin. This year the label sadly declares that they did not use all Niagara grapes because the harsher than usual winter did a number on the Riesling vines … but Inniskillin’s winemaker has once again crafted a semi-dry patio sipper that would be good as both an aperitif or matched with poached or BBQ’ed white fish, or even some spicy Thai (or so I am told). Slight floral notes on the nose, a crisp clean taste and a medium long fin...

Fielding Estate 2004 Riesling Semi-Dry

This semi-dry riesling has great sweet-melon smells on the nose – but in the mouth it is something different. It starts off sweet (but not overly so) and ends with a tart refreshing finish: best described as “pink grapefruit cocktail”. Just to make sure we were not led astray by our surroundings, or our considerable tasting, we retried this wine on a few occasions … each time, this wine performed remarkably - especially during that heatwave stretch of 33 degree weather that befell Toronto in m...

Unity Wine 2002 Chardonnay

At first we thought it a little closed, but then again maybe it was just too cold (note to self: look at that fridge setting) … as the wine warmed, there was an enjoyable fruitiness along with citrus smells to the wine – the taste was exactly as the nose had predicted citrus with definite lemons and limes, which we found refreshing in a chardonnay. This wine was quite impressive to our mostly ABC (Anything But Chardonnay) crowd – something you could comfortably serve to impress those non-Chardo...

Colchester Ridge Estate Winery 2006 Gewurztraminer

It’s nice to be able to find a gewürztraminer that’s tasty at a reasonable price. Many I have come across this year have had their prices north of the $16 mark and even more above $18. CREW has made a nice gewurzt at a price worthy of a 2 to 4 bottle pick-up. The nose is laced with a fruity, spicy, rose water and floral sweetness – many of the typical aromas you’ll find in gewurzt. The rose petal continues on the palate with a touch of sweetness that was discussed in the tasting room as pote...
