None of these are carried in the LCBO (for now).
2007 Pinot Gris (County) $25
Slightly sweet, Riesling like. The wine is on the lighter side of a medium finish. Very pale in color with a mild bouquet. Fairly typical of a County Pinot Gris
2007 Riesling $21 (Niagara)
Frankly I am a little prejudice towards wines like this. If I want a Niagara Riesling I will go get it in Niagara. I’m not sure I see the point. And given that CWG (and Mrs CWG) and I (and my GF) all enjoy the Cave Spring Estate Riesling … Always good to put biases up front. Very pale in color, light in flavor. It has a noticeable sulfur smell with a taste to match. Not a nice wine. I can only assume they had to use a sulfate to preserve the wine to ship it from Niagara to the county … I have never encountered this in any Niagara wine.
2007 Pinot Noir $35 (County)
Classic Pinot Noir color. Slight dill smell to it (as I have encountered in Niagara when they are not well made). Varietal Pinot Noir flavors albeit a very mild wine with a mild finish.
