Tempranillo in Prince Edward County that has been grown on the estate is fruit forward and marked by medium tannins and fresh acidity - a profile that is quite different from the Spanish Tempranillo most are familiar with. We tasted the 2017, 2024, and 2025 that is yet to be bottled. It was fascinating to see how this grape performs here compared to other grape growing regions, while maintaining its’ worth as a cellar star too. This Rosehall Run specialty made by winemakers Dan Sullivan and Lee Baker is a must try for Canadian wine enthusiasts! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/ebae2ad8-c502-4e69-bc3a-c339c02fb27e/IMG_8605.jpg Articles - The Art of Élevage: Inside Prince Edward County’s Winter Wine Festival 2026 - The elevated tasting at Sugarbush led by winemaker Rob Peck centered around holding vessels and how they impact the final product. The tasting lineup included: - Tank sample of unoaked Chardonnay - Sparkling Peck Pink - Side by side of oaked and unoaked Chardonnay - Cabernet Franc (unoaked) - Maple Red (maple syrup infused wine) The idea of unoaked Cabernet Franc from the County caught my attention above the rest. The winemaking decision for this wine is an immediate attention grabber, and not only that, its’ fruity, pristine profile leans into a heightened consumer demand for fresh, easy drinking wines. It’s also worth mentioning that all of these bottles are extremely wallet friendly as well. Don’t miss this stop on your next trip to PEC! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/e5a950f2-1d5d-4895-95f2-225aedb6e82b/IMG_8684.jpg Articles - The Art of Élevage: Inside Prince Edward County’s Winter Wine Festival 2026 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/58890eaa-5535-4d10-b66f-bee5d853c745/IMG_8649.jpg Articles - The Art of Élevage: Inside Prince Edward County’s Winter Wine Festival 2026 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/bfc7e517-173c-4884-a79b-f520db8bd318/IMG_8682.jpg Articles - The Art of Élevage: Inside Prince Edward County’s Winter Wine Festival 2026 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/91cf36e7-41b4-4bbd-b2a7-7f0ef2a493ea/IMG_8947.jpg Articles - The Art of Élevage: Inside Prince Edward County’s Winter Wine Festival 2026 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/9bdeea6b-4c9c-4b18-9915-80cacab42dcc/Broken-Stone-Winery.jpg Articles - The Art of Élevage: Inside Prince Edward County’s Winter Wine Festival 2026 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.leahspooner-wine.com/articles/cadgal monthly 0.5 2026-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/52117bdf-724a-47b5-92fe-629be45c0320/Cadgal_3+vineyard+press.jpg Articles - Rediscovering Moscato: How Cadgal is redefining Italy’s most misunderstood wine - Make it stand out Cadgal vineyards in Piedmont, Italy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/007d5558-5814-43dd-ae2c-f2f2d68d12bf/Cadgal+winery+in+Piedmont Articles - Rediscovering Moscato: How Cadgal is redefining Italy’s most misunderstood wine - Cadgal, meaning house of the rooster, is made up of two Piedmont properties: Tenute Valdivilla, in Langhe area, and Tenuta La Cova in Monferrato Asti. Their goal is to redefine Moscato d’Asti to the modern market with refined wines that capture the essence of their limestone soil vineyards, and more specifically, the purity of Piedmont. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/fdb859ed-5dd2-4982-96e4-c0f31bba21e0/Moscato+d%27Asti+aged+in+and+by+Cadgal Articles - Rediscovering Moscato: How Cadgal is redefining Italy’s most misunderstood wine - Cadgal owner, Alessandro Varagnolo, had followed a family dream to move to the beautiful countryside and pursue viticulture. They found two estates, one of which was the historic winery of Cadgal that focused on Moscato. Alessandro’s goal was to intensify the reflection of terroir in these wines. He changed the Chardonnay/Sauvignon blend to single-varietal, unoaked wines to truly showcase the characteristics of the land, but he also carried a tradition of aging bottles in sand. A winemaking technique almost lost in the region. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/53f6e93e-2261-414c-9edf-af804377dbc0/Moscato+d%27Asti+Cadgal Articles - Rediscovering Moscato: How Cadgal is redefining Italy’s most misunderstood wine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/2a316a0a-0f53-4020-9b2a-60adc37c6059/Cadgal+Canelli+Moscato+from+Piemonte Articles - Rediscovering Moscato: How Cadgal is redefining Italy’s most misunderstood wine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/cdabf392-d8f1-40d0-9b1e-41a1a78b836f/Cadgal+Vigna+Vecchia+Still+life.png Articles - Rediscovering Moscato: How Cadgal is redefining Italy’s most misunderstood wine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/7bc7fc06-954f-4441-b347-8589ca747bf4/Cadgal_2+winery+.jpg Articles - Rediscovering Moscato: How Cadgal is redefining Italy’s most misunderstood wine - Make it stand out Cadgal winery in Piedmont, Italy https://www.leahspooner-wine.com/articles/5-things-youre-doing-wrong-at-the-lcbo monthly 0.5 2026-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/1773764914154-74J9USAKPK3KKQKQLA33/unsplash-image-jONTavfuZek.jpg Articles - 5 Things You’re Doing Wrong at the LCBO - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/cd4de497-c657-4620-9c0a-f88b762ca6b5/Vintages-magazine.jpg Articles - 5 Things You’re Doing Wrong at the LCBO - So many wine consumers are intimidated by the Vintages section. If you are one of these people, this is your sign to step outside of your comfort zone and explore an entire new world of wine. The number one reason I would hear from customers as to why they steered clear of the Vintages section was price point. Of course, there are more costly bottles in this section than in the general listings, but there are plenty of wines that you can find for the same cost as your regular go-to bottles AND they are likely much better quality. The bottles that land on Vintages shelves are crafted in smaller batches, not mass produced, therefore having elevated winemaking standards. These bottles are more likely to express a sense of place and vintage, the way wine should optimally be enjoyed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/7b074c61-d88d-4e49-a767-eee09e49335a/Wine-shopping.png Articles -

And, do you think there’s an upsurge in consumer demand for unoaked wine? AK - It’s not universal, and it’s not in all markets. I think we need people like you to explain things beyond how wine is made, and why it tastes like it does, why does it exist even? We’ve made people believe that wines taste better because they’ve spent more time in oak. In Spain it’s worse, because the leading appellation of this country, Rioja, has been driven by industrial producers who were obsessed with creating a house style that was based on aging other than the prominence of the grapes. Generations of wine experts have been taught that Spanish wine is based on oak aging, which it is not. That is only one tradition, not THE tradition. Many consumers have misconceptions about Spanish wine, because when you have a lack of fruit and high amount of oak, after you age the wine, it becomes under-wined, not just over-oaked. So, we are trying to reclaim the importance of not just aroma but also fruit structure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/ea3bbaaf-d0d1-45e8-9b4d-61378ca66fd9/Three+Rings+of+Sustainability+article+Banner.png Articles - Purity and Purpose in Mesta: Talking Organic, Unoaked Wine with Andreas Kubach MW - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/1d0e8df8-ada5-47ca-b887-4a880693d404/Mesta+Tempranillo.jpg Articles - Purity and Purpose in Mesta: Talking Organic, Unoaked Wine with Andreas Kubach MW - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/815fb10e-b179-420b-8096-b2ec266dddad/Bodegas+Fontana+Vi%C3%B1as+05+-+mesta.JPG Articles - Purity and Purpose in Mesta: Talking Organic, Unoaked Wine with Andreas Kubach MW - Make it stand out Organic vineyards where grapes are sourced for Mesta https://www.leahspooner-wine.com/articles/from-music-to-wine-deborah-coxs-new-chapter-with-kazaisu monthly 0.5 2025-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/424257ae-4b30-427c-a4c3-0f15752ab15e/Kazaisu+bottle+of+rose Articles - From music to wine: Deborah Cox’s new chapter with ‘Kazaisu’ - Kazaisu is an expressive, certified organic rosé crafted by Deborah Cox with Chateau Margilliére from the Coteaux Varois en Provence appellation. It rings purity and a mineral driven depth derived from its counterparts – grenache and cinsault, with a dash of mourvèdre and cabernet sauvignon, that are all grown on old vines upon clay and limestone soils. The wine boasts rosehip, cranberry and ruby grapefruit aromas that continue to a dry, elegant palate with refreshingly bright acidity and a luxuriously long finish. This bottle is a must-try for any rosé wine lover. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/76725798-edcd-4453-8b57-f4c636d474d5/Lifestyle+Deborah+Cox+kazaisu+Rose+wine Articles - From music to wine: Deborah Cox’s new chapter with ‘Kazaisu’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/cd307a2b-5ba6-4e70-8909-ece8c003c3fa/Roero+wine+and+Italian+Salumi+png.png Articles - From music to wine: Deborah Cox’s new chapter with ‘Kazaisu’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/0215f6d1-c1c8-4a1e-a122-b2f9b2fa2662/Kazaisu+and+Deborah+Cox+lifestyle+jpg Articles - From music to wine: Deborah Cox’s new chapter with ‘Kazaisu’ - LS – Was the winery you were working with already certified organic prior to the partnership? DC – Yes, and it’s such a process! It would have been easier to just bottle something that didn’t have to go through all the accreditation, but it was something that I stand on. Moving forward, if we want to take care of our planet and think about the future, think about the way people drink and the way people enjoy wine, we want to give them a healthier selection. That’s worth it for me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/3ef8fd26-7773-4c8e-8ea2-926b9631d7c9/Debroah+Cox+%26+Kazaisu+jpg.png Articles - From music to wine: Deborah Cox’s new chapter with ‘Kazaisu’ - LS – Did anything, if anything, surprise you about the wine world once you got into it on the business side? DC – I think because my standards are very high, I came into it with the expectations of having to really be authentic and really standing by something of quality. That is a very expensive venture. Also, there’s a lot of different steps as far as the certification process, but once you have those things in place, it can be a really fruitful business, and it can be really rewarding. LS – Do you feel like there are parallels between your music career and the wine business? And how has your music career experience helped you with the launch of Kazaisu? DC – Musically, I’ve always felt like being someone that can transcend and have longevity, that’s always been most important to me and I have that same mindset in the wine world as well. I also feel like it’s never been an easy road for me. As much as I sort of make it look easy, there’s a lot going on behind the scenes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/246062cc-5d97-4a45-89a8-9b34aee2cacc/Deborah+Cox+and+Rose+wineJPG Articles - From music to wine: Deborah Cox’s new chapter with ‘Kazaisu’ - LS – Do you have any advice for anybody in the wine industry that may not feel as included? DC – It’s funny, I’ve been saying this quite a bit, participate, participate, participate! It’s important sometimes for you to take the initiative and get out there so that people know that you’re willing to be a part of what’s going on. It’s about taking action. It’s as simple as that. What I’ve done is I’ve just taken action and just moved into this space fearlessly and relentlessly. https://www.leahspooner-wine.com/articles/elevating-a-classic-pairing-with-roero-docg-and-italian-charcuterie monthly 0.5 2025-10-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/d7a88555-519a-4f7f-a1cb-68c2c2ddd388/IMG_5486.jpg Articles - Elevating a Classic Pairing with Roero DOCG and Italian Salumi - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/1bccd0b3-7b8a-473e-af5e-2c71f544bcd3/IMG_5440_jpg.jpg Articles - Elevating a Classic Pairing with Roero DOCG and Italian Salumi - Roero DOCG wines tell the story of the picturesque sloping hillside vineyards in Piedmont from which they’re derived.

The wines match perfectly with the richness of prosciutto, pancetta, and lardo served on a baguette. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/adb93183-a3aa-4013-af24-c878171d3df0/IMG_5453_jpg.jpg Articles - Elevating a Classic Pairing with Roero DOCG and Italian Salumi - Roero Rosso DOCG wines are a unique expression of Italy’s beloved Nebbiolo. The wines evoke complexity and harmony between rustic red fruit and herbal qualities. They’re lifted, and completely intriguing. To pair Roero Rosso with Italian Salumi like bresaola, coppa, and salami is to be transported to the core of Italian agriculture and tradition. The refinement of both food and wine that forces a slowing down, a pause for appreciation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/bc0c97e3-bb78-46b5-924f-cc81ec36f27f/IMG_5500.png Articles -

The Chenin Blanc of the Vouvray AOC is grown on the Loire’s unique Tuffeau soils made up of soft chalk/limestone that formed approximately 90 million years ago. These soils are ideal for growing Chenin Blanc and lend a mineral, pristine character to its wines. Several of the wines are even aged within the ancient limestone tunnels that lay beneath the vineyards, acting as the perfectly humidified natural wine cellar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/b91385d6-0a5f-4430-a4a8-295a8a5a4a3e/IMG_3513_jpg.jpg Articles - Discover Chenin Blanc: The Loire’s Golden Grape and Three Appellations That Define It - This AOC is located within the regional Anjou AOC in Layon, named for a tributary of the Loire River. The unique Tuffeau soils can also be found here, known to contribute vibrant acidity to the grapes, a welcomed accompaniment to the sweetness of the region’s wines. Chenin Blanc of Coteaux du Layon is crafted into high-quality wines that gain sweetness by two factors: extra hang time of the grapes on the vine, and botrytis affected grapes. Each practice concentrates the sugars in the grapes, giving the wines their rich, luxurious profile that bode well for aging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/1757124781340-BFS6V3IW1NIAS4RGFWJV/unsplash-image-qOKsZHNAvsY.jpg Articles -

“In addition to numerous trips throughout the growing season, I spent 51 days in Oregon and Washington during harvest. We had done so much work up to this point, I needed to see the grapes through to the finish line. I made all the picking decisions on the ground before the fruit could be sent to our cellar. It was exciting and nerve-racking. Now, having tasted the wines we made, it was all worth it.” -Jeff Del Nin, Senior Winemaker https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/07edae29-ce06-4f8b-ba68-514ba6e1fff9/IMG_2360.png Articles - Plume: A Lifeline Amid Quails’ Gate’s Vineyard Revival - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/a52b8ec7-4f48-49b9-8d86-5c871baab186/IMG_2311.png Articles - Plume: A Lifeline Amid Quails’ Gate’s Vineyard Revival - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/a3b138d1-679e-43d9-bbb2-ef0392e75f2e/IMG_2361.png Articles - Plume: A Lifeline Amid Quails’ Gate’s Vineyard Revival - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/e78fb31f-3098-40d9-a5b8-eac8de30a401/IMG_2363.png Articles - Plume: A Lifeline Amid Quails’ Gate’s Vineyard Revival - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/6aab95e2-2c0c-495d-917e-975df0f4792c/IMG_2362.png Articles - Plume: A Lifeline Amid Quails’ Gate’s Vineyard Revival - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.leahspooner-wine.com/articles/two-sisters-vineyards-wins-gold-at-decanter-wine-awards-with-eleventh-post-2020 monthly 0.5 2025-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/4a3d1690-5d41-4378-985f-e08ec224afa9/IMG_2316.JPG Articles - From Niagara to the World Stage: Two Sisters Vineyards Wins Gold at Decanter World Wine Awards - Make it stand out Two Sisters Vineyards, Niagara-on-the-Lake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/82c45c5f-e0bd-4f94-b015-99af35365aea/IMG_2174.png Articles - From Niagara to the World Stage: Two Sisters Vineyards Wins Gold at Decanter World Wine Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/db9286a2-7bdc-4752-9dca-ec21bd043a0b/IMG_2318.JPG Articles - From Niagara to the World Stage: Two Sisters Vineyards Wins Gold at Decanter World Wine Awards - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.leahspooner-wine.com/articles/3-rings-of-sustainability monthly 0.5 2025-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/a8e10662-40ea-4e19-8649-fae0fecfe2f5/IMG_8367.jpg Articles - 3 Rings of Sustainability - Make it stand out Three Rings of Sustainability seminar at Vancouver Wine Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/d8a200bf-6292-4bf1-9df8-b03af2a2654a/IMG_8369.jpg Articles - 3 Rings of Sustainability - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/55de7698-2059-4b1b-ab2d-77a949edf461/IMG_8412.jpg Articles - 3 Rings of Sustainability - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/1747941797208-VL08UAMQFWWYJNH33S9X/unsplash-image-2cRXSWyMHA8.jpg Articles - 3 Rings of Sustainability - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.leahspooner-wine.com/articles/brunch-with-bertani monthly 0.5 2025-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/98dfa5d2-5645-48d8-a728-c12d32f284f9/IMG_0492.jpg Articles - Bertani: Timeless Excellence - Make it stand out Wine writer Leah Spooner w.

(Note: This estate is under the Bertani umbrella but located in Le Marche). This wine is fermented in stainless steel and is entirely unoaked. A pure palate with great tension and zesty notes of lemon and grapefruit that travel on a long, clean finish. So fresh and alive! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/c0335ac1-19eb-4640-97ed-42f67c8919b6/IMG_0468.jpg Articles - Bertani: Timeless Excellence - Ognisanti Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2022 This Cru wine by Bertani spends an élevage of 1 year in French oak and 1 year in bottle prior to release. It begins with an intense blooming nose of red licorice, soft vanilla cedar notes. I love the brightness on the palate combined with a rustic profile of dark cherry and cranberry. Fine grained tannins, and hints of cherries and dried herbs adding more depth. Fresh forward! A head-turner that wowed me with its quality and quiet charm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/09d83a30-d6fe-4500-99dc-7584f2bee81f/IMG_0489.jpg Articles - Bertani: Timeless Excellence - Bertani Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 2015 This is a traditional style Amarone that undergoes meticulous care ensuring the traditional quality that Bertani is known for. The wine consists of 80% Corvina and 20% Rondinella grapes sourced from the rich volcanic and limestone soils of the Tenuta Novare vineyards, and develops within a remarkable 7 year Slovenian oak treatment and one year in bottle. The nose and palate are captivating and complex with leather, stewed fruit, balsamic and paprika aromas. These notes develop to dried red plums, dried flowers petals, and tomato vine. Savoury and still abundantly fresh. It concludes with a memorable, extra long finish. https://www.leahspooner-wine.com/articles/a-dream-in-burgundy-tasting-louis-latours-legacy monthly 0.5 2025-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/15598d8b-1248-4408-a315-cf5a7acf70b4/Maison_Louis_Latour_S_Chapuis_213.jpg Articles - A Dream in Burgundy: Tasting Louis Latour’s Legacy Maison Louis Latour https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/7060a862-a041-4d5e-956a-0fd172c821ab/3F590BA7-56B1-458A-B6E3-92F2A723F6A6.jpg Articles - A Dream in Burgundy: Tasting Louis Latour’s Legacy Florent Latour, CEO of Louis Latour presenting to wine media.

For two centuries the Latour family has been crafting wines in the heart of Burgundy from the most acclaimed vineyards in the region, almost half of which are the Domaine’s Grand Crus. Tradition has been implemented in the house’s success from day one, carrying its’ heritage of the family and the wines. Even some of Latour’s labels that were created at the beginning of the 20th century are still used today. Currently, as the family’s 11th generation, Florent Latour holds the CEO title of Maison Latour. His niece, Eléonore Latour is in her second year of training at the winery to eventually take over as the 12th generation Latour CEO and the winery’s first female to take the leadership role. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/5c80ebc1-994b-4ab3-85a7-587670a08b01/IMG_9760.jpg Articles - A Dream in Burgundy: Tasting Louis Latour’s Legacy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/1cf14c31-f20e-4073-b9ce-5425f04fc040/duos3.jpg Articles - A Dream in Burgundy: Tasting Louis Latour’s Legacy - Each wine that I tasted from the lineup was of exceptional quality. Each with a distinct sense of terroir, providing a delicate concentration and elegance balancing minerality and flavour. The two standouts for me were the Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2022 and the Chateau Corton Grancey Grand Cru 2022, admittedly with the later moving me to tears. Never in my life, in two decades of tasting, have I come across a wine so captivatingly exquisite. Beautiful. A unicorn wine. To me - the Holy Grail of Pinot Noir. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/1e735a77-112a-4caf-bf92-9c67f3118bd9/CCh3.jpg Articles - A Dream in Burgundy: Tasting Louis Latour’s Legacy - This Chardonnay is derived from 30 year old vines on the south-east slopes of Latour’s Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru vineyards. The wine sees an 8-10 month treatment in medium-toasted French oak by the Latour’s in-house cooperage. A rich, creamy wine that offers pure Chardonnay luxury on a bed of mineral design. A silky elegance carries sweet oak alongside delicate notes of pineapple and caramel through to a persistent finish. 96 points https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/be1d8f66-647f-42bf-be4b-1899792a6e0b/Maison_L_LATOUR_172.jpg Articles - A Dream in Burgundy: Tasting Louis Latour’s Legacy - This Pinot Noir that is only made in the best of vintages is a culmination of five cherished sites of Domaine Latour Corton Grand Cru: Bressandes, Perrieres, Greves, Clos du Roi, and Chaumes. The wine is developed by a 10 to 12 month aging in French oak crafted by the in-house Latour cooperage. An introduction of cloves and baking spice prelude enticing red plum and red apple aromas. The palate presents an elegant dance of fresh red fruit, earth and spice together with an awe-inspiring structural precision. Graceful, with the perfect amount of tension and a forever finish. The Holy Grail of Pinot Noir. 100 points https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/cce8a4ad-7095-459f-b1c7-fc92fc660759/Maison_Louis_LATOUR_S_Chapuis_103.jpg Articles - A Dream in Burgundy: Tasting Louis Latour’s Legacy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/b4aab8e3-7389-4c0e-8ddd-03eca1972cb0/IMG_9789.jpg Articles - A Dream in Burgundy: Tasting Louis Latour’s Legacy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/7dd0acfa-7b8d-4fee-9ff1-a59383421517/IMG_9765.jpg Articles - A Dream in Burgundy: Tasting Louis Latour’s Legacy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/a84672bd-dd7b-4841-adf7-b03c592ce160/LOUIS+LATOUR+Chateau+Corton+Grancey.jpg Articles - A Dream in Burgundy: Tasting Louis Latour’s Legacy https://www.leahspooner-wine.com/articles/olianas-and-the-biointegrale-method monthly 0.5 2025-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/75211111-32a0-4017-8f3f-50f02fd49194/IMG_9850.JPG Articles - Olianas and The BioIntegrale Method - Make it stand out Tenuta Olianas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/bec252d9-2423-4565-9ee7-530641fa0599/IMG_9849.JPG Articles - Olianas and The BioIntegrale Method - Make it stand out An important part of Olianas’ BioIntegrale method: A traditional plough pulled by a Comtois horse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/7b864981-822d-4242-a58d-72b8c1959d79/IMG_9851.JPG Articles - Olianas and The BioIntegrale Method https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/4ef6d604-a7c3-4e1a-b6f7-87b969f7cc08/IMG_9853.JPG Articles - Olianas and The BioIntegrale Method https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/807bcb68-6bef-44cb-beea-7bb1f7a27caf/IMG_9855.JPG Articles - Olianas and The BioIntegrale Method https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/0e2878db-111b-4192-bc5e-eb05b1d10aa3/IMG_9854.JPG Articles - Olianas and The BioIntegrale Method https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/c71a3f60-52d5-48f5-9e9f-937f4a265416/IMG_9847.JPG Articles - Olianas and The BioIntegrale Method - Olianas Cannonau di Sardegna D.O.C. 2021 This organic wine of the Cannonau di Sardegna DOC consists of 90% Cannonau from the estate Sedda Sa Figu vineyard and 10% Tintillu from the Anfiteatro vineyard. Stainless steel fermentation with partial amphora before an 8 month aging process with 80% in tank and 20% in second to third use barriques. Powerful ripe strawberry and baking spice aromas are an honest introduction for this lively and complex grenache. Tobacco and coffee notes add layers on a medium to full-bodied palate, animated with a vivid freshness over a savoury, rustic essence and fine-grained tannins. Nicely balanced. https://www.leahspooner-wine.com/articles/easter-wine-picks-10-bottles-to-pair monthly 0.5 2025-04-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/1743941811178-WGRHAUMZQVNYCGDQJYSN/unsplash-image-xIFbDeGcy44.jpg Articles -

A Staircase to Success with Zuccardi Valle de Uco - “My father was a founder, he was a civil engineer. In 1950 he started doing irrigation systems working with underground concrete pipes. The vineyard acted as a showroom for the irrigation system, but what happened was he fell in love with the vineyard. We have wines in honour of my mother and father Alberto and Emma. Bonarda is soft but very determined, and Emma was like this.

Let’s start with the takeover – what was that like in the beginning? The first thing we did was to secure our vineyard manager Mike Peddlesden. He was the original vineyard manager for The Grange. He was there for the original plantings in 2001 and the following decade, so that was our first priority since at that point there weren’t really any grapes for the wine. We also needed a roll-your-sleeves-up kind of winemaker and Jonas (Newman) loved The Grange terroir and he wanted to get involved and help steer things. Before the end of 2022 he was teeing up our 2023 growing season with Mike. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/a3158388-2ae4-4123-b3ac-0f9f6f4ed452/IMG_2855.jpg Articles - The Revival of The Grange of Prince Edward - What’s your hope for consumers trying your wines for the first time or revisiting it now?

That way they become almost like new brand ambassadors with this secret of the new Grange. We also want to make our wines more accessible for people to try (referring to price point), and we can do that because of our scale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/0dcfa70c-b691-4bb8-8788-1d3b14ef53ac/IMG_3123.JPG Articles - The Revival of The Grange of Prince Edward - The Grange of Prince Edward 2023 ‘Estate Series’ Pinot Gris This vivacious pinot gris comes from the Isabella Block and Northfield Block of The Grange estate.

As a Sherry lover, I’m happy to drink a Palomino Fino straight up and chilled paired with olives but I was offered it in a delicious cocktail that I’m already anxious to recreate at home. Sherry based cocktails are a growing trend that I’m on board for! The Tio Pepe Cocktail - 1.5 oz sherry, 1 oz of lemon juice, 1 oz mojito mix, top with ginger beer, orange garnish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/6ccedeba-8510-4220-b92d-4eef438cee7a/IMG_8560.jpg Articles - An Evening With González Byass - Foundation and Future - To pair with desserts the González Byass Nutty Solera and Nectar were served. The Nutty Solera Sherry is 83% Palomino, 17% Pedro Ximénez and undergoes 8 years of oxidative ageing. The Nectar Pedro Ximénez Dulce Sherry is a dessert on its own.

From there, Ilya and Nadia bought the farm in the Lincoln Lakeshore sub-appellation of Niagara which their winery now sits in 2011. Why did they buy this farm? They thought it would work well as a site to grow grapes, and as it turns out, they were absolutely right. The estate Senchuk Vineyard has proved to provide excellent crops that produce high-quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay - both receiving rave reviews from local and international wine critics. “The 2019 Senchuk Vineyard Pinot Noir is one of my favourites, I’m very proud of that wine. It really shows the potential of what our farm can produce in the way that I was hoping it would, and it’s receieved big critical acclaim not just here in Ontario, but all over the U.K. as well. It’s very gratifying to buy in to an area that I thought would be good, but hadn’t been proven yet.” Says Ilya. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/73884d10-cab7-40d5-9ee7-0aa83481fc93/IMG_9678.JPG Articles - Leaning Post: Mapping Out the Road to Success https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/6fa50f46-7b6c-49d1-b02c-75a57c34a4f9/IMG_9679.JPG Articles - Leaning Post: Mapping Out the Road to Success https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/a41f7dac-0490-4c33-99af-afb2aa7fe1ee/IMG_9681.JPG Articles - Leaning Post: Mapping Out the Road to Success - Vision and Innovation As a winemaker, Ilya has it in mind to find the best terroirs of Niagara through lesser known sub-appellations and expressing them in the purest way possible.

Upon opening, there were only 3-4 wines being made in Niagara using the Lincoln Lakeshore appellation.

There’s something romantic about BC Riesling to me as a whole, and Four Shadows is dialing in on that specialty. With the Okanagan Valley’s sandy loam soil types and diurnal range, they can produce Riesling with distinct flavours and vibrant, refreshing acidity. They’re typically full of floral and ripe green tropical and stone fruit notes, with starfruit, lime and kiwi being standout notes of the region.

While English sparkling wine is what the region champions, I was happy to see there are also interesting and high-quality still wines being produced here by passionate winemakers. Of my entire British wine study, Bolney Wine Estate proved to be the most exceptional, not just for winery experience, but more importantly, a remarkable high-quality portfolio. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/88a7b909-d8a0-4a4c-9e19-3d4bbb1101c7/IMG_2322.jpg Articles - Bolney Wine Estate : Pinpointing Sussex Terroir - Make it stand out Vines are trained high on this hillside vineyard at Bolney Estate for ultimate sun exposure, grape ripening, and frost protection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/1d857302-3c82-435d-8a5f-0078db2bfdbd/1241bcd5-5d1a-48f0-bddf-df5160fd53b1.jpg Articles - Bolney Wine Estate : Pinpointing Sussex Terroir - Grasping the terroir of Sussex and surrounding areas was an exhilarating feat for a wine geek like myself, but one that could only be done by tasting several wines by different producers in the area. Defining minerality in the English wines I tasted within their sub-regions was especially captivating, particularly in the wines from Bolney. The appetizing, chalky texture and flavour in Bolney’s wines is quite distinctive, arguably more appealing than most of the wines I’ve tasted in my career. Bolney utilizes their five vineyard sites to create a stunning portfolio. The sun exposure of their Eighteen Acre south facing vineyard planted in 2002 at Bolney caught my attention. Planted on sandstone soil, that is predominately Upper Tunbridge Wells Sand, is where they source grapes for their most highly acclaimed wines, including Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Dornfelder, and Rondo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/364bd367-dce8-429b-aee4-17447d761734/IMG_2324.jpg Articles - Bolney Wine Estate : Pinpointing Sussex Terroir The exceptional sparkling wines of Bolney Wine Estate, including their Cuvee Rose Brut that won gold at IWSC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/27373846-a419-465c-b8d4-fc9e3f7686a8/02b7a9d1-74ca-47cb-8e6d-6aa7ce1c2950.jpg Articles - Bolney Wine Estate : Pinpointing Sussex Terroir - My tasting at the estate concluded pinpointing Sussex terroir, and grasping intelligent winemaking. The mineral driven terroir was coddled and presented perfectly. Chalky texture is tenacious, and a driving force on the persistently long finishes of all wines. The wines also displayed beautiful oak integration, and smart sulfur additions. Almost impossible to pick out a favourite as quality streams across the board, but I was truly impressed with their WFG NV Blanc de Blancs and still Chardonnay. It also was a treat to taste their sparkling old vine Dornfelder, planted in 1973. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/89ea0c79-f1ea-40e7-bf36-1d7ec5a74494/IMG_2331.jpg Articles - Bolney Wine Estate : Pinpointing Sussex Terroir - The overall hospitality during my visit to Bolney Estate can’t go without mention. I was happily surprised by the delectable menu at Bolney including their delicious, classic English fish and chips that made a perfect pairing with their Blanc de Blancs. Thank you to the fabulous hospitable Bolney team member, Edward, who enthusiastically talked me through the portfolio and passionately answered all of my questions about the winery. https://www.leahspooner-wine.com/articles/a-decade-of-westcott monthly 0.5 2023-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/9fb80ba6-e874-4807-b5a6-40f22330a61b/IMG_3097.jpg Articles - A Decade of Westcott - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/c2b6bf02-92e0-4018-a888-5758abed7b93/IMG_6673.JPG Articles - A Decade of Westcott - I tasted my first vintage of Westcott when I tried their Estate Pinot Noir 2013 and was immediately hooked. It had everything I love about not just Ontario Pinot Noir, but Pinot Noir from anywhere, all wrapped up in one bottle. It was complex, elegant, savoury, and balanced. To me, it was the perfect wine. The next vintage of this Pinot Noir that came close to this excellence was in 2016. A few years later, I was in the tasting room of Westcott when owner Grant Westcott came in to give me a taste of their Westcott Estate Chardonnay 2017 that was still in tank. My palate told me that this one was special. This one sip sparked an excitement in me that wasn’t just for Westcott, but also for the reassurance that Ontario wine had a bright future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/cbce5842-1f99-4cef-8f68-2fcdcdccb908/IMG_3096.jpg Articles - A Decade of Westcott - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/f6705a04-7a8b-4c57-8239-224edf359d29/6C8D3770-7125-48AC-AD03-30BDF2EF0815.jpg Articles - A Decade of Westcott - Two of my favourite wines from Westcott Vineyards are already sold out at the winery.

It is the prized Syrah of Errazuriz as it represents their innovative pioneering in being the first to produce Syrah in Chile in 1993. This wine is comprised of 96% Syrah, and 4% Viognier, and spends 22 months in French oak. Complex aromas exude from the glass - fresh blackberry, cured meat, milk chocolate, but astounding freshness alongside them. The palate exhibits juicy blackberry and blueberries. The freshness combined with the ripeness of dark fruit is impressive, including terrific acidity elevating the fruit. A warming layer of chocolate, iron and black pepper, and tannin plushness. Nice to see this kind of complexity, quality, and balance in a wine at this price point ($89). It really is stunning and well crafted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/182f6c29-0214-484d-8786-070408568892/IMG_1565.jpg Articles - Errazuriz - The Summit of Chilean Wine - Errazuriz Estate Sauvignon Blanc Reserva 2021 A fresh, mineral driven Sauvignon Blanc with exceptional balance.

From start to finish the energy in all corners of the room was at a consistent high as Ontario’s wine industry from all sectors were buzzing with passion and excitement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/4f686b8f-3467-4875-9e86-ef4987d6c183/IMG_0591.jpg Articles - A Provincial Review: Taste Ontario! 2023 - This year’s event centered around Wine Country Ontario’s theme of Secrets from the Cellar, where wineries had the chance to showcase not only a few wines from their currant repertoire, but also an aged bottle from the winery’s library. This theme proved to be a significant portrayal of how our province’s high-quality wines can develop such elegance, freshness, and complexities with bottle age. From Tawse Robyn’s Block Chardonnay 2013, to Southbrook’s 1998 Poetica Cabernet/Merlot blend, to Stratus’ 2006 White, the aged bottles being poured were a clear declaration of age worthiness for Ontario wines. Even 2016 Courtney Gamay from Malivoire had stood the test of the time to evolve into a delicious manifestation of Shiraz Mottiar’s winemaking ability. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/0b8b6606-fa43-4cce-b70f-38787b0013fc/IMG_0580.jpg Articles - A Provincial Review: Taste Ontario! 2023 - The classic winemaking styles and techniques are becoming much more centered and precise, leaving no room for doubt that we make some of the best examples in the world of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, and Riesling (just to name a core four). Winemakers working with these grapes are truly honing their craft as it’s reflected among so many Ontario producers across all appellations. Bachelder, Westcott, Closson Chase, Leaning Post, Flat Rock - I can’t boast enough about how immaculate Ontario cool climate Pinot Noir is! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/c4112ff2-1623-4c5a-b13e-75765b728b26/IMG_0600.jpg Articles - A Provincial Review: Taste Ontario! 2023 - This year’s event was packed with standout wines! One new-to-me wine that stuck with me was a Wingfield Gamay from winemaker Jeff Moote under his new label Divergence Wines. This was a serious example of how excellent Ontario Gamay can be from our cru vineyards and has me very hopeful about the future of this grape in our province. Stay tuned for more on my favourite Ontario VQA wines as I work on bringing reviews for all the incredible wines of the day. As always, I’m eager to share them and tell their stories. A huge thank you to Wine Country Ontario for an amazing day! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/8e6780c1-04bb-4800-a00d-a16717e800fa/IMG_0565.jpg Articles - A Provincial Review: Taste Ontario! 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/4aa49549-4a0a-40de-a18c-54d28d60a2df/IMG_0623.jpg Articles - A Provincial Review: Taste Ontario! 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/1681826988402-ESKZA1FG8PJNLE1QIRFL/IMG_0575.jpg Articles - A Provincial Review: Taste Ontario! 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/1681827062348-UAB25R6QVN5SAL470A7A/IMG_0592.jpg Articles - A Provincial Review: Taste Ontario! 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/1681827318981-RV58XNMWD999QZGC5214/IMG_0574.jpg Articles - A Provincial Review: Taste Ontario! 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/1681827424162-NUMSGXSM0PMC1E5ZS0TN/IMG_0572.jpg Articles - A Provincial Review: Taste Ontario! 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/1681827610520-DP0EGHFH9PLRI4QVS2D7/IMG_0585.jpg Articles - A Provincial Review: Taste Ontario! 2023 https://www.leahspooner-wine.com/articles/levage-pec-winter-wine-festival-a-wine-and-food-event-that-captures-the-essence-of-county-gastronomy monthly 0.5 2023-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/547047fa-c9c4-4725-b048-72177ef27998/IMG_9593.jpg Articles - Élevage: PEC Winter Wine Festival - A wine and food event that captures the essence of County gastronomy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/014495dc-9ef9-40f7-ae67-e4aee26eeb39/IMG_9610.jpg Articles - Élevage: PEC Winter Wine Festival - A wine and food event that captures the essence of County gastronomy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/b7beda34-bbdd-4993-8e2f-59af54846bf4/IMG_9600.jpg Articles - Élevage: PEC Winter Wine Festival - A wine and food event that captures the essence of County gastronomy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/f20a41f4-2b99-40b3-afa3-70da00f1e93f/IMG_9573.jpg Articles - Élevage: PEC Winter Wine Festival - A wine and food event that captures the essence of County gastronomy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/ca836dc2-97c1-4117-94e6-8e84b74f4e73/IMG_9828.jpg Articles - Élevage: PEC Winter Wine Festival - A wine and food event that captures the essence of County gastronomy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/4783943e-95da-4946-8bb4-1ff464c1813c/IMG_9816.jpg Articles - Élevage: PEC Winter Wine Festival - A wine and food event that captures the essence of County gastronomy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/6ff4ad3f-379c-43cf-8889-825b26922ce9/IMG_9845.jpg Articles - Élevage: PEC Winter Wine Festival - A wine and food event that captures the essence of County gastronomy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/ac30f198-bb90-4b83-8765-42cf3f4db9c7/IMG_9852.jpg Articles - Élevage: PEC Winter Wine Festival - A wine and food event that captures the essence of County gastronomy https://www.leahspooner-wine.com/articles/8cexutfju7819qg1349k1cezhqob1f monthly 0.5 2023-05-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/d5258165-712b-424c-b219-c70ec10b917f/1.png Articles - County Crown - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/d9e97f16-c058-44df-8dce-b34dd699f146/569B7028-952C-4989-BF26-1807309D7F3D.jpg Articles - County Crown - Stardust 2013 A traditional method cuvée of two of Rosehall Run’s flagship grapes - 57% Pinot Noir and 43% Chardonnay.

The perfect match for a big Valentine’s Day dinner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/86398a4d-8807-4438-97d8-fcc2f6da5980/IMG_8897.JPG Articles - 5 Must Have Wines for Valentine’s Day! - Casal di Serra Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore 2020 LCBO Vintages 268169, $19.95 A wine that is sure to charm the white wine lover in your life. This certified organic white wine by Umani Ronchi is made with 100% Verdicchio in the Marche region of Italy. More impressively, it’s made within one of the two most revered regions in the world to grow this grape - Castelli di Jesi DOCG! The wine presents enticing aromas of cornbread, lemon zest and floral too. Bright, and medium-bodied palate that presents ripe citrus, pineapple, pear skin and rain - very spring-like. Creamy, dreamy, and beautifully balanced! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fe4b1bbeffe65fe545d01/ef0b8469-18e6-4608-98aa-538ce9c980a2/IMG_8884.jpg Articles - 5 Must Have Wines for Valentine’s Day! - Foss Marai Extra Dry LCBO Vintages 729392, $19.95 Celebrate in style with a bottle of bubbly! A prosecco made with Glera grapes by Foss Marai that comes from the Valdobbiadene region of Veneto, Italy. An easy-going, light and fresh prosecco. This sparkling wine has notes of freshly sliced apple, nectarine, and mandarin. Exuberant mousse and some pleasantly balanced sweetness. It makes a fabulous sipper on its own but would pair well with a wide array of canapés and appetizers.
