Very nice Cab Sav — 4 years ago
A bit sweet, which I like. Smooth finish. I hate that nasty aftertaste common to so many white wines. — 5 years ago
very good point grigio, easy drinking, a twitch sweeter than others. — 5 years ago
Notes of dark fruits, soft tannin, some oak. Paired well with rosemary lamb sirloin, arancini and pan-roasted green beans. — 6 years ago
Lovely wine to sip on during a movie night. Complex but easy drinking. This blended wine has best of both worlds, the easy drinking of the cab sav with the complex peppery notes of the Shiraz. Would drink again. — 6 years ago
Lots of body, dry and good texture. Not too plummy. — 7 years ago
A mild rich butteryness, mild pear, a smooth easy drinking chard — 4 years ago
This is exactly what it’s supposed to be. Problem is that it’s not exactly what I want in wine. Dessert Wine: yes yes the syrupy aroma clearly lets you know what’s ahead. The fruit flavors are hidden behind the nectar but full flavored and fulfilling its purpose. — 4 years ago
Fantastic body, smooth and dry with strong berry flavours — 5 years ago
Thank you Dad! What a perfect dessert wine to share among close friends and family.... A gathering to remember! — 6 years ago
Paired very well with mussels. Buttery and not too oaky. — 6 years ago
Pale gold color and a pronounced bouquet of pear, ripe pineapple, apricot and lemon. Unctuous texture, full bodied and creamy on the Palate. A bit light in acidity so it verges on count but the long finish is very clean — 7 years ago

Happy International #RieslingDay to all my fellow Riesling fans 🥂
Mr. Spittoon and I decided to delve into the cellar and we pulled out this @inniskillinwines 2017 Icewine Riesling from the Okanagan Valley in Canada 🇨🇦
My brother and sister-in-law gave this to us in 2019 after their visit to Canada (which is the worlds largest ice wine producer!).
What is Icewine 🧊🥂?
It’s not wine you add ice too 😯
But it is wine which is made from frozen grapes 🍇. The grapes naturally freeze on the vines and are picked when the temperature drops below -9 degrees Celsius 🥶
Not much liquid comes out of the grapes when they are pressed. So what comes out is super concentrated and full of luxurious flavour 🤤
The natural high acidity in Riesling grapes means the variety is perfect for Icewine production 🙌
I’m not a big sweet wine drinker but when they have that perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, they are pure magic in the mouth 👌
And this Riesling Icewine was exactly that! From its beautiful golden amber colour to the mouthwatering aromas of juicy oranges, Manuka honey and stone fruits. The flavours flow through to the palate and it’s a true pleasure to drink with its lovely acidity. We matched it with cheese, prosciutto and crackers - which were the perfect compliment 👌

Wine tasting @ Inniskillin, Niagara on the Lake. Love this Chardonnay, apple, apricot, medium body, well balance. — 6 years ago
Really great depth of flavour ranging from raspberry preserves, to macintosh apples, to an earthy, tobacco-y finish that’s pleasant and leaves you gushing. — 6 years ago
Medium-bodied, smooth, lingering aftertaste. — 8 years ago
