Wayne Gretzky 2005 Meritage

I’ll come right out and say it – I’ve been a fan of no. 99 for many years. I was an Oilers fan long before it became popular (I was born in Edmonton so it stands to reason – I also like the Eskimos). I read books about him in my youth; and I own about 5 of his rookie cards – I had them long before that became popular too, hence the bent corners, but one still smells like bubblegum. But my fascination with Wayne waned when he left the Oilers for L.A. – though I still followed him and was impre...

Peller Estates 2005 Gamay – Private Reserve

Gamay is just a super-friendly kinda wine … it appeals to serious red drinkers, red dabblers and serious white drinkers too, because of it’s fresh, fruity and lively nature on the tongue. Gamay is right in-line with Valpolicella and simple Chilean Merlots as the wine die-hard white drinkers can turn to when they wanna make the leap to reds. Here Peller helps bridge the gap between simple red and complex red by putting this Gamay in 50% oak (new and used) and 50% tank (stainless steel). The re...

Vineland Estates Winery 2006 Gamay Noir

Not many people think about red wine on a hot summer’s day – that’s because people aren’t thinking about the “right” red. You need something in a Beaujolais-style: fresh, vibrant and fruity – something you can chill down and enjoy without feeling guilty about chilling a red. Vineland has just the wine you’re looking for with this 2006 Gamay. This one has gobs of red fruit and when chilled, you can pick out candied cherries and raspberries – fresh, fruity and extremely gulpable, especially ch...

Malivoire Wine Company 2005 Gamay

Regular readers will know my weakness in grape varieties … I love a good Cabernet Franc, I adore Riesling and I’m a big fan of Gamay. Martin Malivoire, owner of this winery, is also a fan of the Gamay grape, that’s why he grows it and that’s why he insists on making it; he believes it to be one of the grapes Ontario can do very well … and with a Gamay this good, it’s not surprising he thinks that way. A delicious nose of strawberries and cherries makes you want to dive right into the glass – a...

Aleksander Estate Winery 2005 Cabernet Franc

Opened for just over a year now, Aleksander shows much promise as a winery. When I visited last year, they had 4 wines on the shelf: a white, a red and two fruit wines. Now their shelves are brimming with a wide range of wines one for every taste and budget; the fruit wines are also still around. But let’s focus for the moment on their Cabernet Franc. I am noticing, during my visit in August ‘06, that the ’05’s are starting to come out; in fact, down in the Lake Erie North Shore area, many ...
