Think Gamay doesn't age? Think again. Today I had some friends over for lunch and after a little bubbly and a glass of Chardonnay I pulled an older Gamay out of the wine fridge and let the guessing game begin. Two seasoned writers guessed, one saying "old Pinot Noir" the other went with "Syrah" ... Neither was right. Here we have a hot vintage Gamay from one of Ontario's pioneer wineries (est. 1986). Lovely notes of anise and pepper on both the nose and palate with intriguing depth of flavour and delicious drinkability. This wine showed two things: blind taating is tough (even for veterans of the wine world) and Gamay can age well under the right circumstances of courae. This was a very exciting find.
