	Cave Spring 2004 Riesling Icewine With 7 Rieslings on the Cave Spring roster you have to believe that this is their favourite grape to work with. This is their sweetest version and is a real Rosh Hashanah wine. Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year, and on that holiday it is tradition to eat pieces of apple dipped in honey to signify having a sweet new year. A nose of apples and honey with a palate that echoes the nose, while adding some peach and floral into the mix. The finish is a total apples and honey experience – which ...

	Vineland Estates 2007 Chenin Blanc Late Harvest Winemaker Brian Schmidt unveiled this wine during the IRONic CHEF 2008 dinner as the dessert wine, and it’s lovely; subtle and sophisticated, not the sweetie you’d expect. The nose is fresh and floral with pineapple and crisp pear smells, while the palate is simple, displaying lots of crisp Bosc pear nuances. The audience was asked what they thought of this wine, the man next to me said it was “Schmidt-Hot” (and I said the opposite of that would be “Schmidty”), but everyone in attendance agree...

	Mountain Road Wine Company 2001 Vidal Icewine During a recent Mountain Road icewine tasting, a few friends and I lined up 6 years worth of Mountain Road icewine (1999-2004) to compare and contrast their colours, smells and flavours. In the colour department (from darkest to lightest), this one ranked 2nd, in the nose department, it was dead last, with no taster being able to distinguish any fruit what-so-ever, and one even claimed it smelled tinny. So why review it at all you ask … well because in the overall scheme of things this wine pl... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 605 ]
	Mountain Road Wine Company 1999 Vidal Icewine This was my biggest surprise … I figured a Vidal icewine of this advanced age would be oloroso-sherry in colour and on the downturn of its lifespan, but boy was I wrong. This gold medal winning wine (2004 Ottawa Wine Show) lived up to its gold standing. Sure it had aged colour-wise, turning darker, the colour of apple juice, but that was its only sign of rust, so to speak. The nose delivered apples, pears and apricots all with a dollop of honey on top and ran down the sides. In the mouth, it... Rating: 4,00 (1 Votes) [Hits: 633 ]
