Wine of the Month - February 2012
Colio Estate Vineyards 2008 Gamay Noir 

There is not a large production of Gamay Noir in Essex county and when it does find its way into a bottle of wine it is often used as a blending grape.

Colio's Gamay Noir is Lake Erie North Shore only 100% Gamay wine!

Tasty spice and black pepper notes along with a nice balance of cherry fruits are the recipe for this delicious red wine.

Pelee Island Eco Trail White 2008 Review

5.00 overall score

Winemaker’s Notes:
Eco Trail is a blend of Auxerrois harvested when it reached 19.4 brix, and Chardonnay harvested when it reached an average of 19 brix.

Serve at 16 degrees Celsius with poultry or seafood. This is another excellent sipping wine great for sharing with friends and family out on the patio or over a great meal.

A true blend of Chardonnay and Auxerrois. A wine of lingering fruit with a pronounced floral bouquet and clean crisp finish.

Serve at 16 degrees C.
