Konzelmann ‘4th Generation’ Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 2007
VQA Niagara Peninsula $16.50
Mineral, floral and vanilla aromas float off the glass of this beauty that’s quite expressive yet light on its feet. It’s medium bodied and reasonably textured with a delicious stream of crisp fruit flavours—yellow peach, sweet ripe pear, apple and citrus. Deftly balanced and beautifully sculpted, it’s not over oaked or over blown. It finishes zesty clean and lip-smacking good. Pair this with chicken or turkey a la king. If you’re looking for good value, look no further. Order by the case for daily home or office delivery direct from Konzelmann. (VH)


Konzelmann ‘Grand Reserve Classic’ Riesling 2007
VQA Niagara Peninsula $22.00
Lifted aromas of floral and ripe tree fruit—peach, nectarine and apple—showcase the fabulous ’07 vintage in Niagara. There’s generous texture, deft balance and a gusher of flavours with white peach, ripe citrus and nuances of minerality involved. It finishes with a lingering aftertaste that’s crisp, clean and refreshing. Pan-seared scallops and prawns under a drizzle garlic-infused lemon butter is a divine match.
