	Cave Spring 2005 Brut This Chardonnay/Pinot Noir blend is made in the traditional method and spends 24 months on its lees in bottle. That kind of care shows through in both taste and quality, which seems to go hand-in-hand with this bubbly. Bready, yeasty smells mix with apple and citrus. Crisp and dry on the palate; this sparkler can be used as aperitif, a palate cleanser or with a wide variety of foods; and a few tests proved there is crazy-persistent bubbles here, lasting some 2+ hours – though I doubt you’ll ha...

	Lakeview Cellars 2004 Cuvee Marin Well, kick me in the head and call me Charlie, not literally of course, another sparkler in Niagara! This one is made in the "method classique"- which means aged on lees in the bottle, like they do in Champagne, but not the usual three years, as you would find in Champagne.

	Peller Estates NV Ice Cuvee Rosé Back in December, I made mention of the rise of sparkling wine making in Ontario (Newsletter #72) … well not to be outdone, Peller has re-invented their flagship sparkler. For years, they have made the unique sparkling Ice Cuvee – a bubbly that replaces the still wine dosage with ice wine. But over the past few years, the wine has been losing its luster – someone told me it was because Peller reduced the amount of icewine they used in the dosage. Well this rosé has goosed the tired old Ice Cu... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 551 ]
