	Colio Wines 2005 Gewurztraminer For comparison and contrast to the ’02 version, try the newer 2005 version. Heir apparent to master winemaker Carlo Negri, Tim Reilly tried a different yeast strain in this year’s version and ended up with a very different, yet impressive wine. The smells jump from the bottle the moment you pop the cork, and even more aromas are released into the air as you pour it into the glass. Lovely smells of lychee and mandarin orange mingle with peculiar fresh cut grass undertones (which you’d be more ... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 367 ]
	Colio Wines 2002 Gewurztraminer As a general rule, Gewurztraminers don’t have a long shelf life, they’re one of those wines best served young and fresh, which is what makes this one such a surprise. Four years away from harvest, the nose is still lively with plenty of green apple, peach, cantaloup and kiwi. Unfortunately, the taste does not deliver the exotic fruit salad of the nose’s promise. The fruit tastes have softened and smoothed over time, giving way to petrol, lanolin, and some muted fruit flavours. The nose is te... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 363 ]
	Colio Wines 2005 Riesling It would seem that as of late I am naming my wines something other than what they were named at the winery (see newsletter #39 – Featherstone Onyx). This Colio Riesling is a New York wine … you’ll understand in a few seconds. The first thing that wafted up from the bottle the moment I popped the cork was the smell of apples – a great big appley smell (see where I am going with this?). Pouring the wine into the glass unleashed more apple aromas (of the green variety), along with lemon and some... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 356 ]
	Featherstone Estate Winery 2005 Riesling So here’s a good one for you … a winery owner I know, (who soon will be moving to Niagara), was overheard saying “Ontario Riesling doesn’t sell, which is why we don’t make it.” Well, maybe he should talk to the other wineries in Niagara before making such statements to find out how quickly Riesling actually does sell, and I do mean out. This year alone, I know of a few wineries that released their Rieslings, “because my accountants told me to” as one Niagara winemaker/owner put it. That doesn... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 353 ]
	Featherstone Estate Winery 2005 Topaz I did a little checking on the Featherstone website to see what the availability of this wine was (250 cases produced), because this wine proves to be extremely popular each and every year. On the website, I was warned not to tell the exact make up of this primarily Riesling blend, because every year it’s just a little different … and Lord knows I do not want to be chained to the cellar wall. So instead of revealing the secret blend (to which I may or may not have been privy to), let’s look at... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 285 ]
