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 Alvar Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2009 Review

5.00 overall score

One of our four new wines in the “Alvar” collection. A subtle wine with lemon peel and tropical fruit aromas.

Winemaker’s Notes:
Alvars comprise a small percentage of the Earth’s ecosystems by land extent; although some 120 exist in the Great Lakes region, they comprise only 0.2% of the land area there. They provide a natural habitat for many rare birds, butterflies, plants and trees. The hop tree is one of them. A rare tree found in such Alvars along the shores of Lake Erie.

A subtle wine with lemon peel and tropical fruit aromas. Lively with a rich palate and long finish. A superb food wine!
