Tawse 2007 Sketches Cabernet-Merlot

In 2005 and 2006 this wine was known as Echos, this year, because of demand from restauranteurs, Tawse decided to draw the line between what restaurants could have and what consumers could get - in essence giving restaurants an exclusive label that consum ...

Tawse 2007 Quarry Road Chardonnay

A Cool Climate Chardonnay attendee: I would not consider 2007 a “cool” vintage in the context of the Cool Climate Chardonnay competition … so to make a good Chardonnay was a real balancing act to maintain fruit and acidity; one that performed that trick ...

Tawse 2007 Meritage

A blend of 38% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Cabernet Franc makes up the components of this 18 month French oak inhabitant (20% new). The wine is full on the palate with nice fruit, mineral notes, blackberry, cassis, chocolate and big tannins wi ...

Tawse 2007 Laundry Vineyard Cabernet Franc

Touted by the LCBO (in their November 21, 2009 release) as a “premium product” and very much the way Ontarians views Tawse winery, as a premium priced producer. But personally I think Tawse’s pricing has come down a notch since it opened its doors, espec ...

Tawse 2007 Growers Blend Pinot Noir

I read a review recently that stated this wine was a "light" wine … I totally disagree, I have to wonder aloud what wine the reviewer was trying. This wine is as far from light as it is far from typical. 2007 was an atypical year for Ontario growers and ...

Tawse 2006 Vintners Reserve Cabernet Franc

I feel sorry for anyone who hasn’t caught the Ontario Cabernet Franc bandwagon. This grape is ours, the one we should be showcasing to the world, and we could start quite happily with this ’06 model. You’d think that in a wet harvest Franc would not do ...

Tawse 2006 Pinot Noir

The grapes for this wine come from 5 different vineyards. You’re probably wondering – if you’re a fan of Tawse Pinot – why they didn’t make vineyard specific Pinot this year, the answer my friend is simple: although 2006 was a great growing season it wa ...

Tawse 2006 Late Harvest Cabernet

This is an interesting wine for Tawse … originally picked to make an icewine, the sugar levels ended up being too high, and the grapes were slightly botrytis affected. So they bought some extra juice, which they added to bring down the sugar; but that’s ...

Tawse 2006 Chardonnay Musque

Here we have a scrumptious smelling and tasting wine that goes well in the heat. In the past, at Tawse, the Musque grapes were poured in with the regular Chardonnay, which gave it a slightly sweet smell and taste. This year Tawse singled out the variety ...

Tawse 2005 Robyn’s Block Chardonnay

The best thing that ever happened to Tawse, so far, was Deborah Paskus leaving and Pascal Marchard being hire on as wine consultant. This guy has about 25 years of experience with the two grapes Tawse loves to make wine from: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, a ...

Tawse 2005 Echos Bistro Red

You might have read a little something about this wine in my report on Somewhereness, which Tawse attended and participated in … but let’s recap: Echos is named that way because the wine “echoes” their top-tier wine – same vineyards, same attention to de ...

Tawse 2004 Dry Riesling

Much of what I am about to say probably won’t win me many friends at Tawse, though I must say right from the outset I love this wine. Last year I visited Tawse Winery and walked away less than impressed … mainly about the wine. As everybody who reads my ...

Sunnybrook 2010-Tasting - NV Spiced Apple

This is Christmas time in a glass, a blend of apple wine and five spices that includes cinnamon, nutmeg, and all-spice, but just like the good Colonel’s recipe, no more secrets of the blend can be revealed. These spices are then infused into the wine mak ...

Sunnybrook 2010 Chocolate Embrace

This is one of those chocolate and fruit wine blends you may have heard about. This one mixes it up with blueberries and has quite a bit of that chocolaty goodness mixed in and its especially noticeable on the finish. This one's for chocolate lovers, ca ...

Sunnybrook 2009 Bosc Pear

Pears have got to be one of my favourite fruits. And Bosc my fav of the favourites, so I come to a glass of Bosc pear wine with a little bias. But truth be known, I find most Bosc pear wines lack the impact a good Bosc can deliver, so I’m usually open to ...

Sunnybrook 2007-Tasting - NV Spiced Apple

It’s been awhile since I reviewed a fruit wine, so I decided to storm back with a vengeance with this one. Sunnybrook, Canada’s first fruit winery established in 1993 – has had a few years to perfect a variety of wonderful fruit wines – but none as delic ...

Strewn 2011 Riesling Terroir

Strewn’s new-ish winemaker, Marc Bradshaw, really loves his whites, and it shows. He’s made a Terroir Gewurztraminer that’s simply above the ordinary and this Riesling within the same line also over delivers. The nose mirrors the taste with wet stone an ...

Strewn 2011 Gewurztraminer - Terroir

Most people who claim not to like Gewurztraminer says it`s because it`s too sweet … the other 80% can`t pronounce it and don`t want to look foolish asking for it. But this Strewn number might help clean up the first complaint. The nose has got great Gew ...
