Rosehall Run is at the end of Greer Road in Prince Edward County, and if you have never made the visit you really should. I always try to make a stop at this winery a couple times a year. What’s really great about Rosehall is the depth of their portfolio....
Trius Brut Rosé – Vintages 184309 – $32.95 – **** – The red fruit is fresh and vibrant on the nose and it oozes out of the glass with a nice richness. When you take your first sip of this wine it makes your taste buds snap to attention with...
2017 Henry of Pelham Three of Hearts Rosé – $19.95 – Vintages 552562 – **** – If there’s one thing to define this bottle, it’s the attention to detail. The transparent label barely obscures the beautiful pale pink colour in the bottle. The bottle itself makes a statement that this...
2014 Cave Spring Estate Bottled Gewurztraminer – Vintages 302059 – $17.95 – **** – This really is a special bottle of wine. Gew can be a tough nut to crack when you love food – but the acidity in this wine gives it a layer of food friendliness you don’t...
2015 Bachelder Wismer-Foxcroft N. 2 Chardonnay – Vintages 547299 – $44.95 – ****+ – I have often said that Chardonnay doesn’t last long in my house because it’s ready to drink young. This bottle is something that requires a little patience and time to settle down. The nose offers vanilla...
2016 Wildass Sauvignon Blanc – Vintages 376814 – $18.95 – **** – This is very interesting version of Sauvignon Blanc. It draws a little bit of what makes Sauvignon Blanc great from all over. There is a slight savory note of bell pepper that rears its head to the finish...
As a bit of a sneak peek to something else I’m working on, I am in the middle of a Pet Nat roundup for Ontario. What started as a few wineries last year has grown into a full blown category. So it was a no brainer to reach out to...
2017 Featherstone Black Sheep Riesling – Vintages 80234 – $16.95 – ****½ – It’s amazing that this wine came from the challenging 2017 vintage given how ripe and rich the fruit is in the bottle. If there’s any summer that makes a strong case for how important Riesling is to...
2017 Hinterland Borealis – $23.00 – ****+ – It really does feel like every vintage the wines are getting better at Hinterland, and that’s saying a lot because the bar is already very high. This sparkling gamay rosé has become something I anticipate as soon as I’m done my last...
I’ve always been a fan of The Good Earth Winery. The focus on this winery has never just been on the wine and I was thrilled to check out their new cookbook . I spend so much time tasting wines in Niagara that often I forget about how great the...
2016 Fielding Estate Bottled Riesling – Vintages 251439 – $19.95 – ****+ – A beautiful off-dry and perfectly balanced bottle of Riesling. The aromas are lemon, lime and zest of both giving this some nice depth right off the nose. On the palate this opens up to an avalanche of...
2013 Redstone Chardonnay – Vintages 511428 – $25.70 – ****+ – Fantastic Chardonnay at the price from anywhere. Nice aromas of apple and peach with a bit of spice mixed in. On the palate is nice concentration of fruit and vanilla and spice to round out the package. On the...
