Viewpointe Estate Winery 2005 Riesling

Viewpointe’s wine store is finally open. Viewpointe is a beautiful property that overlooks Lake Erie and has so much potential – and trust me they are making every effort to take advantage of it. It has the makings of being the showcase winery for the area, but we’ll save that assessment for another day and instead talk here about the wine; Riesling to be even more specific. The 2005 Rieslings in Niagara proved to be exceptional, now it’s time to try something from the other side of the provi...

Vineland Estates Winery 2006 Dry Riesling

In France, the bell-weather for the most recent vintage is Beaujolais-Nouveau, the very first wine made from the new crop. It comes out in November, just in time for American Thanksgiving. It’s light, fruity, has no oak age what-so-ever and little manipulation is done to the grape; it’s literally pressed, fermented and bottled … voila, a ready to drink wine for immediate consumption (by Christmas or so). The bell-weather here in Ontario seems to be Riesling. It’s usually the first wine to co...

Thirty Bench Winemakers 2006 Riesling

The 2005 Thirty Bench Riesling became a model for all to follow – a blend of Riesling grapes from 3 of their vineyards. Then Thirty Bench made more expensive and more expressive single vineyard Rieslings using the best grapes plucked from those vineyards. I’m not surprised to see them do the same thing this year, because it proved to be wildly popular, not just with Riesling drinkers, but with all wine drinkers because it gave them a something-for-everybody selection. This ’06 is another tast...

Peninsula Ridge 2006 Viognier

Something tells me I’m a little late coming to this party … my fellow wine writers have been jumping all over this wine all summer long, and now I feel like I am the last one hopping onto the bandwagon to sing its praises. This is a case of better late than never as I put my two cents worth in. This wine has finally caught the eye of those in the LCBO’s Vintages department too, as it hit the shelves in mid-September and it should sell out quickly. If you’re lucky enough to see this wine and p...

Palatine Hills Estate Winery 2006 Gewurztraminer

There seems to be some debate in the Niagara region about the “G-wine” – should it be renamed? Should we be growing it? Do people actually like it? Will consumers buy something they can’t pronounce? Well allow me to pass a little judgment of my own. Keep the name as it is. Keep growing and making it. Yes people like it. And who cares if people mispronounce it – as long as they like it and buy it they can call it “swamp water” if they want. At Palatine, they have been making gewurzt for ...
