Flat Rock Cellars 2005 Riesling

I have been trying to get a review out to you about this wine for awhile, but if I don’t act now, and act fast, you’ll all lose out because the last I heard (two weeks ago), 50 cases were left and that was just about the time Wine Access magazine named it best Canadian Riesling at the Canadian Wine Awards, and White Wine of the Year … so as you would expect it is selling pretty fast. So why were such momentous accolades thrust onto this wine? Because it is very good and here’s why: first, whe...

Calamus Estate Winery 2005 Pinot Gris

Here’s another good value from Calamus. Pinot Gris is usually a dry fruit driven white wine, but lately the trend has been to make it slightly sweet (1) thus giving us flavours that lean more towards Riesling; this is one of those Gris’. It has a nose of apples and peaches with the faintest hint of citrus. The mouth is a different story – there’s a sweet beginning to this wine and a tart finish – all the while, a creamy peach-like taste lingers in the mouth. Golden in colour, this sweet sipp...

Calamus Estate Winery 2005 Riesling

One of Niagara’s newest wineries, Calamus, is actually a shed at the end of one of the regions prettiest drives. Located near Ball’s Falls, Calamus is a winery in its infancy. A reasonably priced wine list (nothing over $22 – most wines under $15) and some tasty offerings could also make them Niagara’s best value winery. If you remember, a few newsletters ago I nominated Featherstone as Niagara’s smallest tasting room, but Calamus has wrestled the mantle away with a tasting room a quarter of ...

Chesslawn 2003 “Caledon Living” Blend

Here’s a unique blend from a unique winery … Chesslawn is one of Ontario’s newest wineries, having open their doors in October of 2005, and located in of all places, Bolton, north of Brampton. Not the place one would think of for a grape winery. The owners are a family dairy farm who were looking for something more challenging, and growing grapes north of the big smoke seems to have struck them as that challenge. Dave Matson brings his passion for wine to both the growing of grapes and making...

Flat Rock 2004 “The Rusty Shed” Chardonnay

This is a completely different kind of Chardonnay … this is Flat Rock’s reserve Chardonnay made from their best grapes grown in a section of the vineyard that also houses a rusty old shed – hence the name. The playful back label explains the origin of the name and the grapes. Flat Rock is one of Niagara’s newest wineries and their focus is on Rieslings, Chardonnays, and Pinot Noirs … as their portfolio shows. Their 5-level gravity flow facility is truly unique. 100% of their wines are under ...
