New: Duet Reserve

Duet Reserve Wine Notes:  Cabernet Franc 2016, Zweigelt 2016  – Erie Shore Vineyard- Harrow, ON  Retail:  $21.95 Winemaker – Harvey Hollingshead  Serve at 18 C  (65  F) Cabernet Franc provides the cherry flavor and structure you expect to find in a full bodied red, while Zweigelt adds just enough spice to separate it from the rest.  Add vanilla derived from French Oak and you have a complex wine that is sure to liven your evening.   It will match great with red meats, and the spice go well with pizza.  If you are having anything savory, this is your go to wine.

Essex County Local Food Map

The Essex County Federation of Agriculture has been putting a map together of its membership and their produce. This ranges from Galati Cheese in Windsor, who produce cheese from 100% of the County produced milk, to Lamb from Ewe Dell, to honey, made and sold in Cottam, to of course estate grown and made wines.

The recent Essex County Local Food Map is now available in an online version, on Google Maps, by clicking this link: http://maps.google.ca/maps/ms?vps=1&jsv=154c&hl=en&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=103436766376375721831.000467a077b00df57e3cf

Serving Temperatures of Wine

Probably the most asked question we receive in our retail store is about serving temperatures for wines. We reprint the following from our Spring 2008 Newsletter:

"Much more important than people realize is the temperatures at which wine is served. Cold temperatures tend to mute sweetness and flavour. In red wines, cold temperatures will emphasize tannin. Warm temperatures will emphasize sweetness and alcohol. We tend to serve our reds too warm and our white wines too cool.

A quick rule of thumb is to put red wine into the fridge for 15-20 minutes before serving and to take white wine out of the firdge 15-20 minutes before serving. Icewine and sweeter wines can be served directly from the fridge or from an icebucket."

Serving Temperatures:
White Wines at 10C/50F

Red Wines at 18-19C/65-68F

Light Reds such as Summer Sun 15C/ 55-60F

Icewine at Freezing 0C /32F
