Chateau LaFayette Reneau
Riesling Semi

KAPOW! This white has a kick and so much more flavor than the other Rieslings I have tried. I definite winner in my book, and the third Chateau LaFayette Reneau wine I have been impressed with.

Thirsty Owl Riesling
Just a bland riesling. nothing to hoot about here.

Sweet Walter Red
Grape juicy goodness. It's like a welch's cocktail with alcohol. Nothing amazing, but certainly worth the price.

Salmon Run Reisling 2010 - 2/5

Hazlitt White Cat - 5/5

Glenora Niagara - 5/5 and probably the best Niagara I've had. :star: :grapes:

Well, as Niagaras go, it was ok - not bad - but not the best out there. Glenora Niagara is what I will have to compare all Niagaras to now. I don't think I'll find a tastier one. Wish I had found the best sooner...but sometimes that's how my life works. ;)

Heron Hill 2008 Eclipse Red - 0/5 Honestly bought it for the bottle which is beautiful. And to go with a lovely corned beef and cabbage dinner. I'm not ready for a wine this dry. Probably won't ever be. But I've got a nice bottle.

Bully Hill Le Goat Blush - 3/5 Nothng wrong with it. Just didn't knock my socks off. Didn't buy it myself - served by dinner host.
