Wines of Ontario Month

This April I will be reviewing Wines from Ontario, Canada.

There are 14 wineries southeast of Windsor Ontario Canada.  From Amherstburg to Pelee Island and don’t forget Smith and Wilson out by Chatham.  There are four planned wineries to open in the next few years.  If you are looking for a fun day trip look no further than the Lake Erie North Shore Wine Route. 

During the month of April (maybe longer) I am going to introduce you to some of the Lake Erie North Shore Wines.

There are two wineries that I have been visiting over the years (decades now) they are D’Angelo Estate Winery in Amherstburg and Colio Estate Wines located in Harrow.  I have reviewed a few wines from these two wineries already.  Look in the left margin for the links to their wines that I have reviewed.  Colio wines are listed as CEV in my links.

This month I am planning to review some wines from, of course, D’Angelo and Colio.  I have wines from Viewpointe Estate and Sprucewood Shores and then Sanson Estate Winery.  The bottle from Sprucewood is from the first year they opened. 

If you live in driving distance this is a worthy day trip to this wine region.  And they have wines that will interest the newbie to the experienced consumer.
