2002 Hillebrand Trius Dry RieslingNiagara Peninsula VQA more |

2007 Oak Heights Covert Hill WhiteOntario VQA Vidal more |
6/25/2009 - varowan wrote: 83 pointsPleasant. Aromatic with subtle apple, subtle but a bit of zing like granny smith. We had it with baked salmon and it complemented well. Not a stellar hit, but great for the price and for the nice dinner at home. |

2007 Oyster Bay Pinot NoirMarlborough more |
6/8/2009 - varowan wrote: 85 pointsAs expected. Not a WOW but will not disappoint! Had with BBQ sirloin with portabello, broccoli and spaghetti with butter and garlic. This Pinot Noir is a typically good NZ with mild currants and mature cherry. Finish somewhat tart. |
