Vineland Estates 2004 Cabernet Franc Icewine

My favourite Ontario grape (Cabernet Franc) also makes some of my favourite icewines because no matter how sweet they rise on the sugar code they always seem to lack the sticky cloyingness of Vidals. This superb wine has been re-issued by Vineland and is ...

Vineland Estates 2004 Cabernet Franc

I continue to be big fan of Ontario Cabernet Franc, I really do believe it is our grape to do great things with (more on that in an upcoming article). Historically, Franc has been an old world blending grape for many years, taking a backseat to its much ...

Vineland Estates 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (Non-VQA)

The bottle says “red fruit” but I picked up plenty of dark fruit aromas like plums, along with some cocoa, anise, and vanilla. On the palate, it’s light and fruity, suggesting the Chilean influence, with a slight tannic bite at the end. Vanilla, anise a ...

Vignoble Rancourt 2004 Noble Blanc

Given the friendly atmosphere of Rancourt Winery, and the way Lionel and Lorraine (owners of the winery) make you feel like an old friend or even family when you walk in the door, I have dedicated each review of their wine to a particular friend or family ...

Vignoble Rancourt 2004 Merlot

My mom has always loved Merlot, Myles be damned – and she’s always on the lookout for a good Ontario Merlot. Now most young Ontario merlot is tough to drink, unless you like your tannins harsh and your body full … mom is not a fan of either. Lionel’s li ...

Vignoble Rancourt 2004 Cabernet Franc

I had a friend who would have been drawn to this wine like a Scotsman to whiskey (having met a few Scotsmen in my day I say that with some authority). She’s a big fan of Cabernet Franc … big, hearty, beefy, heck, for lack of a better term, ballsy Caberne ...

Vignoble Rancourt 2003 Meritage

Union Wines 2011 Rosé

Summer seems to be coming on strong, but even if it wasn’t summer that does not make Rosé an irrelevant wine style, after all holidays and a deep set winter can also be the best time to remind yourself that hot weather will be back. This pink mixture is ...

Union Wines 2010 Squared Red

Simple yet tasty blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Franc, Merlot, Gamay and Syrah - white pepper, red currants and smoked meat appear on the nose; the palate shows a smokiness along with what is found on the nose. Easy to drink with enough tannins to keep it ...

Union Wines 2010 Noir

The Noirs in question here are the two that can do gang-buster business here in Ontario: Pinot and Gamay … Pinot gets plenty of respect while Gamay only gets part time respect. This wine is light in colour, as one would expect from this coupling with a n ...

Union Wines 2009 White

A blend of Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurztraminer and Unoaked Chardonnay this wine really refreshes. The nose is apple, lemon-lime and floral while the palate shows a lot of complexity, especially at this price point. Lemon-lime, hint of floral, lots ...

Union Wines 2007 Red

There is a complexity in this wine that you do not expect at this price point. The blend is unique, offering Pinot Noir, Cabernet, Merlot and Gamay (no specific on the Cabernet chosen, but there are only 4 grapes). The nose lures you in with smells of s ...

Twenty Twenty-Seven 2011 Foxcroft Vineyard Riesling

Ontario's most popular grape is popular with our virtual wineries too ... Kevin Panagapka has a minimum of two vineyard designated Riesling every year. His Foxcroft seems to balance the beauty of bright acidity with the right amount of sweetness. Aromas ...

Twenty Twenty-Seven 2011 Falls Vineyard Riesling

Lovely nose of tropical fruit and delicious apple with a nice hint of pineapple, which is odd but welcome. The palate brings the pineapple and mixes it with sweet white peach then green apple shows up on the finish. Good acid / sweet balance. Price: $1 ...

Twenty Twenty-Seven 2010 Queenston Road Pinot Noir

Complex nose of spiced-raspbery and cherry with a hint of floral - namely violets - along with a gentle-general-spicyness ... a very pretty and alluring nose. The palate is fruit dominated, most noticeably red fruit, with white pepper, spices, cinnamon a ...

Twenty Twenty-Seven 2010 "19th Street" Chardonnay

Chardonnays are a dime a dozen all over the world, except in Kentucky - I bumped into a winemaker there who swore to me that it doesn't grow well amongst all that bluegrass ... but everywhere else it's like a weed. This is the first time I've seen the ne ...

Twenty Twenty-Seven 2009 Foxcroft Riesling

This is the pet project of one Kevin Panagapka - 20-27 Cellars - and his baby is Riesling, a grape he has been making wine from since the very beginning of his virtual winery experience. This particular version comes from the Foxcroft Vineyard (part of t ...

Twenty Twenty-Seven 2009 Featherstone Riesling

Kevin Panagapka has one of those fun names to say, he is also making wines that are fun to drink and discover, but they have a serious side. Kevin is not only one of a handful of virtual wineries in Ontario, he was one of the first ... he also decided to ...
