It has been a while since our last post, as we have recently moved from Vancouver to London, Ontario. Naturally, things have been quite busy, and we haven't had the luxury of leisurely wine tastings.
Now that we are in Ontario, it is time to sample some of the local varieties. The Niagara Peninsula is the major wine appellation here, and is where Henry of Pelham Family Estate is located. Its sub-appellation is called Short Hills Bench.
We sampled a bottle of Riesling to have with some tortellini - probably not a great pairing, but what the heck. It had grapefruit, citrus, and quince on the nose, and the taste had strong flavours of granny smith apple. It was a very nice introduction to Ontario wine, and I can't wait for more.
