Annually the folks at Closson Chase take some of their own vineyard fruit and create a restaurant friendly (price-wise) offering called “The Loyalist”, but this year they took some Niagara fruit instead and craft something they call, “The Brock” to take The Loyalist’s place … capeesh? This really is a steal for Chard-lovers that can put their hands on a few bottles. Vanilla, buttery and creamy with apple puree, spiced pear and really good acidity. Price: $22.95 – Rating: ****+
