Canadian Wines

Sort By:

Konzelmann 2006 Icewine Cabernet Sauvignon (Niagara Peninsula)

Price $60

Bring a Cabernet Sauvignon dessert wine to a party and you are assured of a conversation starter. The bronze color of this example will appeal to fans of tawny Port and belies the multilayered nose of fresh summer fruits. The palate is intense, with flavors of strawberries and raspberries. Crisp acidity carries the long finish. — W.E. (12/15/2009)

Inniskillin 2003 Icewine Vidal Blanc (Niagara Peninsula)

Price $59

Brilliant stuff that shows not all hybrids deserve to be scoffed at. Flamboyant aromas of dried pineapple combine with fresh apricots and honey in this rich, unctuous wine that’s incredibly sweet yet not cloying, thanks to vibrant acidity. Imported by Vincor USA. — J.C. (9/1/2005)

Inniskillin 2005 Icewine Gold Vidal Blanc (Niagara Peninsula)

Price $80

There’s a classic, elegant nose of apricot, apple and spice on this rich, golden dessert wine, and the flavors of mango, fig and honey have a touch of raciness and spice that balances the components beautifully. A lingering finish and overall exquisite play of flavors ensures that Inniskillin is still one os the best producers of ice wine in the world. — S.K. (7/1/2007)

Quails' Gate 2005 Family Reserve Pinot Noir (Okanagan Valley)

Price $40

Years ago it was a Quails’ Gate Pinot that first convinced me the grape had real potential in the Okanagan, and this exemplary bottle proves the point. Velvety and intense, superbly aromatic, it’s bursting with berries and cherries, highlighted with orange peel and citrus. The balance is impeccable, and the oak unobtrusive. — P.G. (12/1/2007)

Henry of Pelham 2006 Icewine Riesling (Niagara Escarpment)

Price $55

The seductive nose on this wine reaches right out of the glass and pulls you in. The unctuous palate is pure self-indulgence, with intense notes of peach and mandarin orange. A medium-length finish has enough acidity to carry the high level of residual sugar. — W.E. (12/15/2009)

Denaka Raspberry Vodka

Best Buy

Price $13

The best of the raspberry crop: a clear spirit with a light, sugared scent and a fleeting juiciness that winds into a nicely mouthwatering, fruity finish. Silky texture. Good value, too — K.N. (11/1/2011)

Konzelmann 2006 Icewine Vidal Blanc (Niagara Peninsula)

Price $55

One of the more expensive Niagara icewines, Konzelman lives up to its price tag with this stylish blend of marzipan and almond notes on the nose and an intense palate laced with macaroon and honey flavors. The long finish shows a nice acidic lift. — W.E. (12/15/2009)

Jackson-Triggs 1998 Proprietor's Grand Reserve Ice Wine Riesling (Okanagan Valley)

Price $60

Absolutely luscious, rich, viscous and full-on, with apricot, peach, caramel crème brûlée flavors at the center. Good acidity leaves a freshness on the finish, with lengthy hints of honey and vanilla. — J.M. (12/1/2002)
