Mike Weir Winery Riesling 2010

Stephanie scored this wine: 92/100

LOVED this wine. Smell the pink eraser? Yep, it's there along with petro and minerals. This is a very easy off-dry drinking wine that will keep you coming back for more. The light lime and pear will draw you in and a lovely acidity will finish nicely in your mouth. Great value, superb wine.

The Grinder Pinotage 2012

This pinotage stands it ground with flavour. Hit in the face with aromas of coffee, espresso and dark chocolate. Familiar dark fruit - dark cherry and plum fill the mouth. This full bodied pinotage will go perfect with a beef dish like prime rib.

I really loved this wine. I was hit with cloves and nutmeg at first and as it opens up these aromas are more apparent. Beautiful dark red fruits and balanced acidity. Perfect dinner wine or just to sip and enjoy.

Yum Yum Yum. Fresh and clear bright yellow, this wine is full of citrus. Medium bodied, full flavour and incredibly aromatic with a crisp finish. This wine is a winner all around.

Closson Chase Vineyard Chardonnay 2011

Beautifully buttery, exactly what you want to taste from this Ontario Chardonnay. Creamy butterscotch, apple and spice, this wine is very smooth and the oak carries the vanilla nicely.
