Here's a really nice patio, hot weather sipper: unoaked Chardonnays take center stage during the spring and summer months and this one shows why. Plenty of fresh apple, pear, peach and honeydew with good mouth cleansing acidity. Price: $17.95 - Rating: ...
Finally, Greenlane's real wines are starting to emerge - these are the wines made from estates grown fruit. This Riesling is made using their oldest block of Riesling vines (22 years of age) - it's complex and layered like good old vines Riesling should ...
This could very easily be called Greenlane`s young vines Riesling. The vines are 5 years old and deliver a really fruit driven white with lots of peach, apple and lemon along with a nice seam of balancing acidity ... very sippable and ready to drink now. ...
After learning the winners of last fall’s Artevino competition – 2009 edition - I went back to check my judges notes – and lo and behold this was my number one Franc in the competition. I guess the other judges agreed because it was not only the Gold med ...
If you talk to most folks about wines from the County, you’ll hear varietals like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir being bandied about; for my money, I’d be banking a bit more on Cabernet Franc out PEC-way. Not just because it’s my favourite Ontario red grape, ...
This is the first sparkling offered from The Grange of Prince Edward County and winemaker Jeff Innes is practically gleeful about it as he skips up to me with a bottle in his hands at the Toronto Gourmet Food and Wine Expo. “It’s my favourite wine I’ve e ...
Prince Edward County is starting to live up to their new DVA designation, making wines of distinction from the region. This Chardonnay has a nose of vanilla-wood with a slight hint of under-ripe pear. The palate follows through on the promise of the nos ...
Seems like this year everybody is jumping on the rosé bandwagon. A friend of mine, who makes wine for a living, explained that his winery didn't get to pick one of its varieties in time because of the sudden and persistent rains that befell the 2006 harv ...
Later this year (September 2007), The Grange will once again get this wine into Vintages; the 2004 version was the first Prince Edward County wine to find its way onto LCBO shelves … and well, they've done it again. This time out, the wine shows lots of ...
Any of you who have visited the Grange of Prince Edward County know that it’s an absolutely stunning piece of property – from the long driveway, with the vineyards on your right as you meander down the drive, to the beautifully restored barn, outbuildings ...
The Grange courts Pinot Gris drinkers tastes with this delicious version, much in the same way Fielding Estates in Niagara, did with their 2005 Gris … the major difference is the Grange dropped the slightly pinkish hue but kept up the sweetness level. Ni ...
As far as I can tell, this is the first Prince Edward County wine accepted into the Vintages program at the LCBO – hmmmm, wait, I think this is the first ever Prince Edward County wine at the LCBO period. Which shows you just how far this little-region-t ...
Before now, the Good Earth has been relying on the generosity of others to produce their good wines, but now their doing it all themselves, on-site ... which is the excitemnet behind the vintage, and all made by their very own winemaker Andrea Glass. The ...
The Good Earth Food Company has been feeding Niagara since 1998 and now they’ve taken the next logical step in their evolution, adding wines to their line-up of offerings. I tried this tasty ’09 Riesling with its white fruit driven nose along with some p ...
For those who see Riesling as being a sweeter wine than their Sauvingon Blancs and Chardonnay the Good Earth gives you just what you want. The medium-dry version of their Riesling has pear puree and sweet green apple throughout, plus it delivers a longer ...
What came first the chicken or the egg is an age old question. In the case of the Good Earth Cooking School and Winery the question should be, what came first, the wine or the food? In this case it`s the food - 14 years of cooking schoolery came before ...
G. Marquis is the new line from Magnotta, just in case you were scratching your head over this one. They have a sign up on Niagara Stone Road (aka Hwy 55) going into Niagara-on-the-Lake announcing the vineyard. This is a well made icewine: good acidity ...
This is the second line of wines from a little known winery called Magnotta, maybe you've heard of them. Anyway, Magnotta has a property on Highway 55, that leads into Niagara-on-the-Lake, called the G. Marquis vineyard - and I can only suspect that this ...
I think this review kinda got lost in the shuffle of paperwork, but I thought I would still push it out that. This is an interesting Chardonnay because as we speak (or as I write this) this wine is already 4 years old and just being released. 6 months i ...
