13th Street 2007 Sandstone Old Vines Gamay - $28.00

This time of year wine tastes are like a pendulum, one day you feel like red the next you feel like white, that seems to be the way we're going here on the Weekly Wine Note, today we swing into the realm of red.

The Tasting Notes: The smells and tastes are earthy, minerally and raspberry dominated. Price: $28.00 – Rating: ****


I am thrilled to announce that as of February 24, 2009, each Podcast has its own unique player - so you can listen to whichever Podcast you want to. So without further ado I will leave you with this week's Podcast, or if you decide not to check out the new format you can read the tasting notes below ... I recommend the Podcast, of course.

13th Street 2007 June's Vineyard Riesling - $17.00

Today it's a return trip to 13th Street where we'll feel the rays of sunshine from a glass - even if we can't feel them on the ground in the dead of winter. With minus 19 staring in the face for the next few days (in Toronto anyway) this will be the wine that'll help you keep in mind "summer does come around" (sooner or later). Have a listen to the Podcast to find out what a pseudo-summertime this will be, or, if you choose the more boring route, you can just read the tasting notes below (the Podcast is always more fun):

A touch of petrol, some apple, a little peach pit and some honey tones get the aromatics of this wine off to a good start. The taste is loaded with lots of apple, some peachiness, petrol in the mid-palate where it then turns minerally and slightly honeyed in the home stretch … good acidity clears the palate and readies it for another sip, with a pleasant lingering finish.

13th Street 2006 Sandstone Old Vines Gamay - $25.00

This week I once again visit 13th Street winery - who seem to have December all locked up when it comes to new releases ... have a listen to the Podcast to find out why, or, if you choose the more boring route, you can just read the tasting notes below (the Podcast is always more fun):

The nose is earthy with strawberry, sour cherry and cinnamon … but it’s in the mouth where this wine really takes on its full character … it’s all cherry from beginning to end: candied front, big red and juicy in the middle, and sour cherry on the back end, where you’ll also find a little vanilla in the extra long finish.

13th Street 2006 Sandstone Chardonnay - $18.00

This week it's a Chardonnay for Chardonnay fans from one of Ontario's few "cult wineries" ... haven't heard of 13th Street? Well that's a pity because you should get to know this winery, toot suite (as the French say). Take a listen to the Podcast to hear why this winery fits the "cult" billing and why you should get to know it; or, if you choose the more boring route, you can just read the tasting notes below (the Podcast is always more fun):

This wine has all the smells and tastes Chardonnay fans love. Apple, peach, citrus, vanilla, creamy caramel, touch of toasty oak and a creamy smoothness in the mouth.
