Erie Shore Vineyard 2005 Riesling

Most Rieslings have a delicious sameness about them – you have your apple, pear and petrol, maybe some floral and citrus notes, and then a wonderfully delicious sweetishness on the palate. So when something comes along that’s uniquely it’s own, you really stand up and take notice. This ’05 from the Lake Erie North Shore regions shows some difference on the nose that makes it quite unique – pink grapefruit cocktail – there’s absolutely no mistaking it … especially for a grapefruit fan like myse...

Thirty Bench 2005 Bench Riesling

Thirty Bench has become one of those wineries that has cut down their product line and have started specializing in certain grape varieties … like Riesling. On their current wine list they had 4 … 3 are vineyard specific and are produced small quantity, and then there is this one – which is a blend from all three vineyards and their entry-level value priced version at $18.00 (as opposed to the 28 and 32 dollar vineyard specific versions). This is a great place to start experiencing Thirty Benc...

Henry of Pelham 2005 Reserve Riesling

I have to say there have been very few 2005 Rieslings that I have not liked … word on the street is that the reds of 2005 are going to be excellent, and from what I have tasted so far “THEY” are right again; but little is said about the ’05 Rieslings. They have been trickling out for about a year now, and each one tastes better then the one before. Pelham’s Reserve Riesling is a deliciously smooth appley-peachy number. There’s apples, pears and citrus on the nose, and as it moves through your...

Hillebrand Winery 2005 Trius Dry Riesling

When I do my tasting notes, I write them on small scraps of paper that I have lying about, then, a day later, I review my notes and write the review. There are times when I smile fondly over the notes, remembering the wine, and other times where I can literally still taste and smell the wine as I read over my scribblings. This is one of those wines … it might seem simple on the page, but it was far from that. Immediately the smell was of peach and melon, with hints of Bartlett pear thrown int...

Jackson-Triggs 2005 Delaine Vineyard Riesling

From the very first sip to the ultimate and inevitable last tip of the glass, the best word to describe this Riesling is “wow”. The Delaine Vineyard line of wines from Jackson-Triggs, Ontario, is the fruit from one of their premier vineyards, which was planted by Don and Elaine Triggs in an effort to showcase the terroir of the Niagara Peninsula. A great nose of apple, citrus, peach and some petrol aromas does not even begin to prepare you for what’s in store once the wine passes your lips. T...
