Have not tried wines, don't plan to, try many new wines, just don't like wasting my money unless I know a wine is drinkable. QOTD-had a Pinot Noir from Brazil that was good. www.winelx.com

Pelee makes some incredible wines – their Merlot and Pinot Noir are both worth seeking out. Too bad about those three. It is worth visiting North Shore Lake Erie. There are only eleven main wineries to check out. Mastronardi is excellent and Colio Estate. Pelee does make an incredible Meritage and a Cabernet/Petit Verdot blend that will appeal to many Napa Valley fans. Colio’s wines are excellent in the CEV line. Cabernet Franc is one of the best offerings in Canada.

Those wines were burned but they don’t represent Canada. Not at all. I live in the Niagara Region and we have amazing Pinot Noir and Riesling. There is a Colio store in Niagara on the Lake, just across the border from Lewiston.

QOTD: La Crema Chardonnay helped me fall in love with Chardonnay all over again.

Funny enough, my wife just started a wine blog about Canadian Wines and just recently panned a bottle of 2008 Eco Trail Cabernet Franc from Pelee Island Winery. I think they will get it soon, a lot of vineyards in Canada are still experimenting with grapes and such and figuring out what works best, its always fun to watch and drink

Ouch….. Another o’ fer? Tough draw, sir. Its ok though, I dont knock on Canada. I know they are a quality producer and have several bottles cellared. QOTD: Just a simple American Pino Gris. It was a cheap-o $6 or so bottle and of course I was like “meh” before I tried it but it was quite drinkable. Nothing special but once again putting me in my place for poo-pooing a cheap wine.

I’m from Quebec Canada and discovered Ontario wines over conducting studies in the Niagara wine region, at Brock University. What you tasted is pretty bad but on visiting the Niagara region wineries I had the chance to enjoyed out of the ordinary wine experiences. Malivoire makes a Gamay like nobody else and others like Cave Spring with 13 Street and Thirty Bench have made Riesling one of my fav grape. If you think Icewine is too sweet try something from Lailey and you might change you mind getting hit by a good dose of acidity. And after all the hype around Pinot Noir I had to fall over a Le Clos Jordanne wine to finally get what it’s all about (I was zipping roses!!?).

In Ontario most people are not even aware of the little jewels hidden in their backyard. But not every winery deserve too much attention. Many are doing everything and anything including too many weddings.

Before you toss Ontario wines aside, people from Ontario should give them a fair chance. Caroline from Quebec
