Local All Stars

DESCRIPTION

We’ve selected wines from two of Niagara-on-the-Lake’s top wineries, that typify the best wine varieties in Ontario. The wineries are Coyote’s Run and Lailey Vineyard – and the wines are perfect expressions of the Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling grapes.

Tony Aspler and David Lawrason have both given these wines their thumb’s up and we’re offering this affordable, yet unique gift – in a single combo pack, that’s perfect for wine lovers that want to taste four of the wine varieties that excel in Ontario.

FOOD PAIRINGS

2007 Red Paw Cabernet Franc
Try this wine with young cheddar cheese, chicken cacciatore, or venison tenderloin.

2007 Red Paw Pinot Noir
An excellent food wine, this is a good match with grilled lamb, pork tenderloin, grilled salmon, and creamy soft cheeses

2007 Chardonnay, Niagara River
At this point in its evolution it will go very well grilled, and buttered shrimp or the classic oysters on the half shell, as it matures it will move over to roasted garlic-chicken.

2008 Riesling, Niagara Peninsula

WINE INFORMATION

Coyote’s Run 2007 Black Paw Cabernet Franc
This tasty, medium-bodied dry red from the excellent 2007 vintage is mindful of an Italian red with all kinds of floral, berry and chocolate on the nose and berry, plum and moderating tannins on the palate.

Coyote’s Run 2007 Red Paw Pinot Noir
This single-vineyard pinot – also from the exceptional 2007 vintage, has a spicy, smoky nose with raspberry-redcurrant fruit and with intense, Burgundian-style flavours – that last and last.

Lailey Vineyard 2007 Chardonnay, Niagara River
Vanilla oak, apple and honey could define the aromas you’ll find in this Chablis-like wine from the new Niagara River appellation. Smooth and powerful – with fresh apple on your taste buds, this elegant wine will only get better.

Lailey Vineyard 2008 Riesling, Niagara Peninsula
Minerally and grapefruit rind on the nose lead to an array of great flavours – including pear, lemon, grapefruit, lime and honey. A nicely balanced, juicy and clean expression of Niagara Riesling – this wine too will last.
