Gehringer Classic Riesling 2004
VQA Okanagan Valley $12.00
Floral and sweet honeycomb aromas greet the lucky taster of this well made, well priced B.C. beauty.
There are gobs of tropical fruit and tangy citrus flavours in this light-bodied offering and the finish
carries through with more of the same. It is nicely balanced and would marry well with sashimi or a
tuna ceviche. Rod Phillips
Legends Estate Winery Riesling Semi-Dry 2003
VQA Niagara Peninsula $12.95 (621854)
A muted nose of mineral and lime sets up this off dry, medium-bodied beauty. The attack on the palate is
a glorious sweet and sour tang that one usually associates with well-made wines from the Mosel or Rheingau.
This would be a lovely sipping wine on the patio, but if yours is covered with fluffy white stuff, try it
with spicy Asian or curried dishes. Not familiar with this winery? Get acquainted now.

Henry of Pelham Off-Dry Riesling Reserve 2004
VQA Niagara Peninsula $14.95 (557165)
Released in Vintages late 2005, and available from the winery, this is a well-paced off-dry Riesling
that you can cellar for five or more years. It’s rich now, with a range of tropical fruit and honeyed
notes, and with crisp, clean acidity. The finish is a long tail of tropical and white grapefruit.

Schloss Schönborn Riesling Kabinett 1996
QmP Rheingau $15.95
What a glorious opportunity to taste an aged wine at an attractive price point! This low
alcohol (8.6%) Riesling typifies why many experts consider it the greatest grape of them all.
The nose delivers that petrol, mineral, floral bouquet and the rich creamy palate delivers wave
after wave of sweet (peach and nectarine) and bracing (lemony) flavours. The finish is lengthy
and luxurious. Serve on its own as a fabulous welcoming wine or pair with tandoori chicken from
now to 2012. Stock up. Vic Harradine
