Drea's Rosé Scores 90!

SCORE 90 "It shows a dark ruby colour in the glass, a departure from the vast majority of rosés currently being released in Niagara, but, as explained above, the Dornfelder juice could only spend a moment or two on the skins for colour extraction. It has a floral nose of violets and roses and then fresh crushed raspberries, a squirt of lemon, strawberries and herbs. It so refreshingly different and unique on the palate with rich red berries, subtle tannins, pleasing minerality and herbs with a vibrant, dry finish." winesinniagara.com

A perfect pairing!

Chef Ryan Crawford’s famous dip-dip egg is a perfect pairing with my Sauvignon Blanc. The wine’s racy acidity is an ideal contrast to the rich and creamy egg. Both are also delicate and perfectly balanced. This exceptional pairing is only available at the BACKHOUSE in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

50th Birthday Celebrations

I could think of no better way to end the celebration of my milestone birthday than by marking the occasion with a glass of my wine at the iconic Prince of Wales in Niagara-on-the-Lake. One of my father’s favourite restaurants and also home to his favourite sommelier, Fred Gamula. Fred is a long-time supporter of VQA wines and Kaiser family friend for three decades. What an honour to have him present my wine on this very special day.
