We first tasted the wines from the Grange last time we were down and were impressed. We tried them at the Inn we were staying at but didn’t make it to the winery. This time we did make it to the winery so we were able to taste more of their wines.
One of the things that crossed my mind was that why don’t they do a Sauv Blanc in “The County”? It seems to me that they would do a good one. The Grange does one, but they were sold out so I was not able to try it. I spoke to a Sommellier in one of the Inns we were at and she said all attempts at Sauv Blanc in “The County” have resulted in wines with a parafin wax almost gasoline flavor.
2007 Pinot Gris $14.75 Check LCBO stock.
A lovely crisp, refreshing wine with a bit of tartness and a bit of sweetness. I quite enjoyed this one. We bought 2 of these. 88 ish.
2006 Barrel Fermented Chard $19.80
Not a whole lot of varietal Chard flavors. Slight weet apple flavors 87-88 or so. When it comes to Chards I have difficulty with non-varietals Chards.
2007 Riesling (Niagara) $11.75
Pale color, with sulfur smells on the nose. Lighter tasting wine with a light finish. Slightly varietal. 86-87. I really don’t like that sulfur match smell.
2006 Pinot Noir $16.50
Classic Pinot color and bouqet. Slightly bitter/tannic on the finish. As usual “County” Pinots are always on the milder side compared with Niagara or France. 88 ish but as I’ve mentioned Pinots are relaly to my liking.
