Featherstone Estate Winery & Vineyard 2006 Old Vines Riesling

Did someone say sixteen bucks for an old vines Riesling? Better be snapping that one up quick before they realize they’ve made a pricing error. This is the first time Featherstone has separated the Riesling from their vineyard into age designation. Dave Johnson has created an elegant and finesse-laden Riesling from some of the oldest vines in Niagara, rivaling those from both Vineland and Cave Springs for the title (30 years). He still keeps a dollop of sweetness (1) and by all rights this w...

Henry of Pelham 2005 Reserve Chardonnay

Looking for bang for your buck in a Chardonnay? This one delivers. Winner of the 2007 Cuvee award for best General List White (which means it’s readily available at the LCBO); this 6 month oak-aged Chardonnay is a winner on all fronts. First, let’s get the oaking part out of the way – I am not a fan of over-oaked Chard; Pelham deals with that barrel fermenting only 28% of this wine; the other 72% is done in stainless steel, which give the wine a chance to show off some fruit not just oak. Th...

Jackson-Triggs 2006 Proprietors Reserve Gewurztraminer

Somebody told me they either Jackson or Triggs is a huge gewürztraminer fan; so the winemaker has to do it justice or be fired; I'm not sure about the firing part, but the first part I believe. This is a beauty of a summer sipper and a bargain at $11.95. The typical telltale gewurzt nose is here – rose, lilac and floral - with a taste of lingering floral with some sweet spice … perfect with Asian and Thai fare … on its own … or better yet share it on the patio with friends....

Tawse Winery 2006 Chardonnay Musque

Here we have a scrumptious smelling and tasting wine that goes well in the heat. In the past, at Tawse, the Musque grapes were poured in with the regular Chardonnay, which gave it a slightly sweet smell and taste. This year Tawse singled out the variety on a last minute whim and ended up with an unexpected winner. Chardonnay Musque is a relative to the Chardonnay grape and produces aromatic wines with great tropical and/or tree fruit notes, both in taste and smell. This wine from Tawse is no...

Ridgepoint Wines 2006 Gewurztraminer

I tested this wine for bottle shock in newsletter #63 – trying it when first bottle (early June 2007), then allowing it some time to rest and popped the cork again, on a new bottle of course, in August 2007. The difference was night and day – what started out as a simple patio sipper in June became complex in August. Floral and rose petal aromas and flavours carried over from June to August, but melon came to life in the interim, along with a touch of peach in the nostrils. Taste continued to...
