CANADA – WHITE WINE ONTARIO 13 TH STREET EXPRESSION SERIES PINOT GRIGIO 2023 6 VQA Niagara Peninsula, sustainable

ALBERTO NANI VEGAN ORGANIC EXTRA DRY PROSECCO* DOC, Italy, vegan

Fresh and zesty, with snappy apple, nuts, tropical fruit, and wet-stone minerality. A versatile, food- friendly sparkler that will pair with a range of appetizers. Light & Fruity 632224 (D) 750 mL $17.95 1 4 Organic product

Crisp, crunchy, yellow Hammi melon fruity and just a touch musky in a lovely way. A touch or more of sweetness, ever so slightly banana ester affected but always in touch with what needs. Substantial flavour profile and that ever so slight carbonic buzz that gives the wine good energy. Decidedly gris by design. Drink 2024-2026. Tasted blind at NWAC June 2024.

CLOSSON CHASE VINEYARD CHARDONNAY 2021 6 VQA Prince Edward County, vegan

This is sourced entirely from estate vineyards – 25% Churchside, and 75% South Clos. It was whole cluster pressed, fermented, then aged in French oak barrels, less than 10% new, and underwent full malolactic fermentation in barrel. Such a profoundly fresh nose of saline and oyster shells with apples, bergamot, white flowers, Meyer lemon and elegant spice notes. It’s vibrant and pretty on the palate ... the stone fruits are on the ripe side, with stony/flinty minerality, a silky texture and a long, fresh, lifted finish. Really nice Chardonnay. Score: 93 (Rick VanSickle, winesin niagara.com, July 20, 2023) Light & Crisp 148866 (XD) 750 mL $35.00 2
