“It’s great when a wine can tell a great story. This bottle is made in memory of Karl Kaiser by his daughter Andrea. She tells the story on the bottle of her father making this wine in his personal cellar every year to her and her mother's liking… The aromas and flavours of this wine are delivering Sauvignon Blanc in a style that is the best of what Niagara can bring to this varietal. It’s hard not to immediately go to gooseberry on the nose as it’s what adorns the label - but there are nice citrus notes, and a hint of hay bale. The texture of this wine is light and crisp - but the flavours open on the palate with nice intensity. This is great wine - and a wonderful tribute. “ André Proulx
Drea’s Sauvignon Blanc - 90 points
“This Sauvignon Blanc from Andrea Kaiser, made in honour of her late father Karl Kaiser..., is a beautiful tribute wine. Such a lovely nose of lemon, grapefruit, citrus pith, passion fruit, fresh herbs and grassy accents. It’s clean and fresh on the palate with zesty lime, lemon, gooseberries and integrated herbs that shine through the finish. Dry, racy and clean savvy. Karl would be proud.” Rick VanSickle Read More

Drea’s Sauvignon Blanc: A Tradition of Excellence
By Adam Waxman - May 4, 2019
In his home cellar, Karl Kaiser, would make a special ‘batch’ of Sauvignon Blanc, year after year. He would make it for his wife and for his daughter, and he was so determined to make it to their exact liking. Nervously, he would try to lower expectations—just in case—and would explain that the wine was still young, and that it needed time to become integrated and balanced. Read More
Drea's Wine Co. was created to honour late master winemaker Karl Kaiser
COMMUNITY Apr 24, 2019 by Beth Audet Niagara-on-the-Lake Advance
Andrea Kaiser, director of marketing for Reif Estate Winery and Monastery Cellars, is now also the proud proprietor of Drea's Wine Co. When Andrea Kaiser got the nod from Reif Estate Winery’s president and winemaker to follow her dream and create a virtual wine line, there was no question it would begin with a Sauvignon Blanc. Not only is it her favourite, but her father — the late master winemaker and co-founder of Inniskillin — made Sauvignon Blanc at home for her and her mother every year. Read More
