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 Blanc de Blanc 2008 Review

5.00 overall score

Winemaker’s Notes:
A light-hearted, fruity wine that packs lots of refreshment.

The grapes were harvested in the month of September when they had reached 19 brix. They were fermented for a four-week period in temperature controlled steel tanks.

The reason this is one of our most popular wines is due to it being a great compliment to so many different foods. This wine is best suited to light cuisine such as poultry or seafood, or as a pleasantly dry aperitif. Serve well chilled.

Winemaker’s Notes:
A very light tasting wine that is a blend of Vidal, Reisling and Apple. It has a very smooth finish and is reminiscent of the Rhine Wines. It is a great wine to pair with seafood, chicken, or light cheeses.
