Reviews and Ratings

Joe Hache Prince Edward Count rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

In Montreal one of the MANY pleasures is that there are a lot of BYO Wine restaurants. We stopped by the local SAQ on the way to a favourite Greek Restaurant and Del was happy to find this bottle.

Recently discovered on a trip down to the States it is now one of her favourite Chardonnays!

One of the plates we always get at this restaurant is their combo with lots of cheese, bread and other delightful treats. The wine went perfectly! The aromas of butter cream, lemon and vanilla balanced very well with the oak and subtle spices. Again, I don't like a Chardonnay that is overly oaked and this one was awesome. The lively taste and very pleasing finish made the food even that much more enjoyable!

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
