2027 Cellars Queenston Road Vineyard – Vintages 421370 – ****1/2 – $35.00 – I won’t be surprised if you haven’t heard of 2027 Cellars. The Virtual label is operating out of Featherstone and making some amazing wines. I recently tasted their Chardonnay and spent an afternoon all over town tracking down the wine to make sure I had a bottle or two in my home. I am going to have to do the same with the Pinot Noir it would seem. Soft and delicate on the nose and in the mouth but with a nice hint of spice on the finish. There is Cherry, Violet, Blackberry, Cocoa … there is a lot going on in this wine. I wouldn’t pair this, or share this with anyone or anything but the best of company.
2014 Megalomaniac Coldhearted Riesling Icewine – Vintages – ****+ – $29.95 (200 ml) – I love Riesling Icewine. There is just something about that acidity that makes it so easy to drink and makes it a great food wine. Until I have convinced everyone to stop serving Icewine with dessert I am going to continue my mantra of having Icewine at the front of your meal. Serve this with the stinkiest of blue cheeses and the most decadent of foie gras or pâté. This has aromas of peaches in syrup and lemons. The fruit flavours really stand out over the sweetness of the icewine and the finish is fantastic with nice acidity. Simply put this is very good.
