Neige Première Ice Cider 2011, Quebec, Canada: Fun! Essence of apple in the glass. A delicious cider of mingled and various types of apples that go into the blend, and finishing with fresh, crisp green apples. Think homemade apple pie with a pleasing and refreshing bite. Pair with fruit cobbler. (Natalie MacLean, nataliemaclean.com, Sept. 2, 2014) 12.50% MS 200 mL  $18.95 Score: 93/100. April 4, 2015 Divine Dessert Wine Full Review
Flat Rock Riesling 2013, Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: The Vintages Catalogue says 2014 but we tasted the 2013 vintage. Green apple and white pear. Love it. Building an inukskuk is now a ritual at the end of harvest for this winery: lifting the heavy stones requires a team effort. Pair with roast turkey and fun. Drink: 2013-2019. 43281 11% XD 750 mL  $16.95 Score: 91/100. April 4, 2015 Best Value White Wine. Sensational Shellfish Wine Full Review
