On the Road with the Grape Guy: February 2021

Wednesday, February 24, 2021

This wine by the former winemaker was his swan song, and his "drop the mic" moment :

Rockway Vineyards 2017 Small Lot Syrah - Alter Ego

($28.00 each - available at the winery and online)

A great vintage, a great wine - it's Piedmont in 2016 and it's a delight :

Massolino 2016 Barolo, Serralunga D'Alba

A very special, very limited wine from Bachelder - of course it's a Pinot Noir :

Bachelder 2017 Pinot Noir, Saunders Vineyard Two Barrels

It's a Chardonnay that comes from a region of France not known for the grape :

Calmel & Joseph 2019 Chardonnay, Villa Blanche

The Grower's Series is not grown on the property, but it is made with the same tender love and care :

Adamo Estate 2016 Petit Verdot Edgerock Vineyard

($49.00 each - available at the winery and online).

Another Syrah in a series of Syrahs that I have highlighted from British Columbia :

Backyard Vineyards 2017 Syrah Reserve

This wine made the College's Dean List and there is a reason for it :

Niagara College 2017 President's Red

This is a cools wine from Bordeaux with an Ontario, Canada twist :

Chombart & Speck 2018 Cave Mystere
