What We’re Drinking: Wines of the Week
Happy Wine Wednesday, if you need some sipping inspiration, we’ve got you covered! Read on to see what your angels are recommending this week!
Palatine Hills Neufeld Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2015 – This Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp and refreshing cool climate Ontario alternative to the New Zeland steady. If you’re looking for something unique and offbeat from Ontario, this is your wine!
Tasting Note: Visitors to Palantine Hills winery can experience a collection of carefully preserved War of 1812 artifacts, such as musket balls and crested medals, which have been unearthed from between the vineyard rows. This intriguing take on Sauvignon Blanc is a touch off-dry with grapefruit, apple and sweetgrass leading to a pleasantly herbaceous finish. Pair with green curries, veggie sushi or grilled seafood.

Nederburg The Winemaster’s Sauvignon Blanc- This is one of our favourite entry-level Chenin Blancs. If you haven’t discovered what South African Chenin is all about, this is your chance and at an amazing price point to boot!
Tasting Note: Pale straw colour; citrusy fruit with spicy, herbal notes; light pear and passion fruit flavours, well balanced with a crisp, clean finish

Ravenswood Besieged 2014 – The heir of our HALLOWiNE event. This dark and sexy red blend is exactly what you want to be sipping as that Fall and Winter as the cold weather sets in.
Tasting Note: Dark, rich, full flavors ignite your senses with blackberry, black cherry, and baking spices, resolving into a delicious, smooth, satisfying finish. Full bodied with firm, but fine, tannins. Petite Sirah, Carignane, Zinfandel, Syrah, Alicante Bouschet, Barbera
