Smith & Wilson 2005 Three Belles
Cherries … you read about there presence in many wines: smells of, or tastes of, bing cherries, sour cherries, sweet cherries … but what about a wine made from cherries – Montmorency cherries for that matter … then there would be no doubt about the taste and the smell. This semi-sweet number has cherry taste, lots of big cherry taste, so what more is there to report, right? How about a cherry wine that drinks itself in stages: 1) Great sweet cherry nose. 2) Sweet cherries in the front and m...

Wagner Estates Winery Firehouse Red
From the Lake Erie North Shore’s only fruit winery comes this little gem that has a decidedly deceptive name. Firehouse Red, to many, might invoke ideas of a spicy or smoky red wine - but that description would not apply to this wine. In fact, the color looks more like a deep rosé rather than a red wine (I’d say candy apple red). Sticking your nose in the glass elicits smells faintly reminiscent of strawberries and sour cherries ... then as the wine warms up in the glass, the cherry flavors c...

Munro’s Meadery Raspberry Melomel
Mead is wine made from honey – probably one of the oldest alcohol-based drinks in the world, according to John Bryans, owner and mead maker of Munro’s Meadery in Alvinston, Ontario (west of London between Hwys 401 and 402 in Southwest Middlesex county). John has not only won a few awards for his mead (at the International Mead Festival held annually in Denver, Colorado), but he has researched the product quite extensively, so he knows of what he speaks. “Melomel” is the term given to Mead that...

Konzelmann 2006 Peachwine
There is no mistaking this wine for anything else, it's pure peach through-and-through, and now that I have my summer allotment, I'm going to tell you what to do with it. While you are at Konzelmann buying your Peachwine, check out their Method Cuvee Close Sparkling Riesling for $14.95 – a tasty, toasty, fruity sparkler that finishes drier than you’d expect. Mixed together in equal parts, the sweetness of the peach tones down the drying effect of the sparkler, making for a tasty, fruit driven ...

Sunnybrook Farms Estate Winery Spiced Apple
It’s been awhile since I reviewed a fruit wine, so I decided to storm back with a vengeance with this one. Sunnybrook, Canada’s first fruit winery established in 1993 – has had a few years to perfect a variety of wonderful fruit wines – but none as delicious as this multi-temperature wine. Let me explain: first the smell, wonderful aromas of baked apple with rhubarb and strawberry hit the nose. Then the taste grabs your buds with the baked apple and a spicy cinnamon, finishing on a tart note...
