2015 Coffin Ridge Bone Dry Riesling – Vintages 232744 – $17.20 – **** – This is a solid Riesling that even though it’s called bone dry you still get a slight sense of sweetness on the mid palate. The bright crisp acidity keeps your mouth in anticipation for the next sip. The nose is honey, green apple and citrus with flavours that match. The finish is clean with a nice mineral note. This will make a welcome addition on a table with sausages or perogies as we head into fall and heartier cuisine.
2010 Henry of Pelham Estate Pinot Noir – Vintages 266391 – $24.95 – **** – There is a lot going on in the glass with this wine. In a province where getting a good bottle of Pinot Noir will usually run you more than thirty dollars this bottle is a gem. The nose is violet and smoke over cherry and cranberry. The mouth feel is a little heavy and it feels like the fruit sinks right to the back of your mouth only to have it replaced with violet, smoke and damp, mossy forest floor on the finish. This wine drinks dangerously easy and at this price point you may want to pick up two.
