Thirty Bench 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 ...

Thirty Bench 2005 Rose Pinot Meunier

1.5 acres of Pinot Meunier are grown at Thirty Bench (heck I think maybe 1.5 acres of Pinot Meunier are grown in Ontario), but the one five combination does not stop there. The grapes have been growing in the “back part of the vineyard” for about 15 year ...

Thirty Bench 2005 Cabernet Franc

Original Review ... It’s only a matter of time before Ontario winemakers start to really pay attention to what this grape is telling them – if you lean in real close you can actually hear them whispering, “I’m your grape.” Name any other grape and I’ll g ...

Thirty Bench 2005 Benchmark Red

This is a true "reserve" wine in every sense of the word, but name. The juice that goes into this wine comes from the top barrels of the vintage and the final product is in limited quantity (226 cases). The blend is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot an ...

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, ...

Tawse 2011 Quarry Road Riesling

This is a nice mid-range alcohol Riesling from Tawse, some Rieslings sit around the 8 or 8.5% mark while others can hit 13 … Tawse sat this one right in the middle at 10% - so it’s not too light so as not to be noticeable, but not over-burdened by alcohol ...

Tawse 2011 Quarry Road Gewurztraminer

Gewurztraminer is a hard sell – it’s the name many producers blame for the sluggish sales – if you can’t pronounce it you can’t ask for it (or are embarrassed to do so) … and I’ve heard many people turn it into a mangled mess. What isn’t a mangled mess i ...

Tawse 2011 Gamay Noir

The news here is that another serious producer decided to get into bed with the Gamay grape … and that’s a good thing. Multi-award winning winery (and 3 time winery of the year) Tawse puts their reputation on the line producing a serious Gamay from the 2 ...

Tawse 2010 Sketches Rosé

A sneak peak of this wine in the dead of winter seems like a funny thing to do, the last thing you wanna be drinking when the snow flies is a rosé. But when one can make you forget the weather outside, (which on this evening was truly frightful) then you ...

Tawse 2010 Sketches of Niagara Riesling

Trust Tawse to put a pretty Riesling in the bottle in a very hot vintage. Lots of peach and mineral kick this one off with lime, mineral and peach following on the palate. This is a hell of a Riesling with big acidity that screams out of the glass, espe ...

Tawse 2010 Sketches of Niagara Chardonnay

Winery owner Morey Tawse loves Chardonnay (and Pinot Noir) and you can really tell – I’ve never met an owner that’s hand off and I can’t believe Morey is any different, from his base model Chards to his big guns he has the folks at his winery carry his na ...

Tawse 2010 Sauvignon Blanc - Laundry Vineyard

Everybody, and I do mean everybody, is in the Sauvignon Blanc business these days. SO I have to admit I was not surprised to see a bottling of it at Tawse ... previously a restaurant-only wine they have upped production to 1000 cases and made it availabl ...

Tawse 2010 Robyn’s Block Chardonnay

I was slightly shocked to see this bottle with a screwcap on it, not that I’m against screwcap in anyway – I’m all for getting the best out of a bottle of wine – but this is the first over-40 dollar bottle from Tawse I’ve seen with this closure; but I can ...

Tawse 2010 Quarry Road Chardonnay

It’s been pointed out to me that I’m a bit of a hardass when it comes to Chardonnay – and I’ll admit that I can be … I’m just tired of the same old same old when it come to this grape. Well don’t expect that here, this is one amazing Chardonnay. The nos ...

Tawse 2010 Growers Blend Pinot Noir

I was kinda shocked here to see a screwcap on this bottle of Tawse wine – sure I’m used to seeing one on their Sketches line, but rarely on a bottle baring the usual Tawse-striped label. The nose is full of red licorice, cherry and blackberry with a pala ...

Tawse 2010 Estate Chardonnay

This is a 4-vineyard blend Chardonnay – so it’s not about terroir as much as it’s about the wine itself. Barrel aged 12 months in French oak with partial malolactic fermentation – giving it an almost-creaminess. The nose has a real pleasing buttery-ness ...

Tawse 2010 Chardonnay Musque

I haven't been on Tawse`s case about their pricing in many years - when you're making good wine you can ask a good price - but I scratch my head over this one: Musque for Twenty-two bucks, it`s better than the $28 one I saw a few months ago, but come-on, ...
