August 12, 2006 – Viewpointe Estates – Harrow – Lake Erie North Shore <\/p>\n
I’m not sure where to begin this report because you could not have asked for a better day for an event, but let’s start here. The day was beautiful, the location stunning, the wines were superb, the food looked delicious (because I was runing around tasting wines I forgot to eat – though I am told it was all delicious and plentiful). Under a tent overlooking the water behind Viewpointe we couldn’t have asked for a better day – I don’t even think there was a cloud in the sky … the sun beat down on this exquisite affair. <\/p>\n
All 14 wineries from the area were in attendance pouring their newest vintages that would soon hit their store shelves. Some highlights from the afternoon included: Wagner’s Fire House Red <\/span>(cherry wine); Spruce Shores soon to be released Pinot Noir<\/span>; Smith and Wilson’s Double Barrel<\/span> – a blend of Cab Franc and Merlot; Sanson’s always awesome Autumn Harvest Vidal<\/span> – a steal at $10.95; Viewpointe’s award winning Auxerrois<\/span>; Erie Shore’s exotic fruit tasting and citrus smelling 2005 Riesling<\/span> … along with scores of other great wines from this region. <\/p>\n Lake Erie North Shore continues to be a high point in the Canadian, and especially, the Ontario wine-world; and this event just highlighted that fact even more. Kudos to everyone involved. <\/p>\n Michael Pinkus – Grape Guy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" August 12, 2006 – Viewpointe Estates – Harrow – Lake Erie North Shore I’m not sure where to begin this report because you could not have asked for a better day for an event, but let’s start here.
