Sunday, July 10, 2016 - WineFest in Toronto (Mike Grammer); 7/10/2016-7/12/2016 (Mike Grammer's (parents home) in Toronto): Apparently this is a one off as Daniel found the process of letting rapes die on the vine disconcerting. Michael also let me know that the winery is no longer making wine. A shame. Back in the day a visit and sitting at their kitchen table was a real treat in the world of wine. Nothing stays the same though. Thanks (again) to Michael for sharing this cellar treasure. Iced tea in color. A bit of VA on the nose, but fine with me. It raises the aromatics along with it. Honey and peaches on the nose at first, it turns nutty and salty. All were great. Good acidity. It skirts the cloying issue but doesn't pass it. Very complex at this point. There is some peach left but mostly nutty with some honey. Long, long finish. I would drink these sooner I guess, but with every bottle, history is passing.
