D’Angelo Estate Winery 2006 Iced Foch - $15

I wrote about this wine in Newsletters #89 after I had attended the Lake Erie North Shore new vintage tasting … this wine became one of my picks of the bunch that week … but my attraction to this wine didn’t stop there. Listen to my taste trial with some friend, learn how Sal D'Angelo makes this wine and more on this week's Weekly Wine Note Podcast.

Colio Estate Wines 2006 Late Harvest Vidal - $11.95

“Late Harvest”, what is it? It can be one of two things: 1) the second pressing of icewine grapes or 2) grapes harvested later than usual harvest time – here in Ontario that’s after September and October. Colio waited, and waited and waited and finally in late January 2007 they said enough … temps never got to icewine making range (-8 to –10) but these grapes did see some frost, some freezing and even picked up a little botrytis along the way before being plucked from the vine. The nose is very icewine-esque: apples, pears, peaches, apricots, honey and some lilac; while those yummy flavours from the nose follow through on the palate but with much less sweetness than you’d expect from something that smells this sweet; ranking only about a 6 on the sugar code, compared to an icewine’s 20+. The finish is appley with hints of cinnamon, vanilla and/or butterscotch depending on which way your palate leans.
