General List Wines Vintages Wines
Hardys Nottage Hill Chardonnay 2005 «««½ Vines Magazine (November/December 2006) "Winemakers and cynical wine writers might be tired of the everyday charm of low-priced Chardonnay, but most wine drinkers haven't lost the taste for soft and engagingly fruity white wines that soothe as opposed to challenge their tastebuds. Plus, there's a zesty side to this wine, which is sourced from cooler wine regions, that will challenge people's prejudices".
85 Points & Best Value! Wine Spectator (March 31, 2006) "The palate exhibits citrus and melon flavours backed by spice and buttery vanilla characters. This is an elegant Chardonnay with a clean mouthfeel and a lingering finish."
Hardys Stamp of Australia Riesling/Gewürztraminer 2005 «««½ Vines Magazine (November/December 2006) "Until recently we didn't see a lot of Riesling/Gewürztraminer blends, especially from Australia. This model shows the potent attraction of the two grapes. It's a charming aromatic white that offers great drinkability and refreshment. Made in an off-dry style, it works well with spicy dishes or as a pleasant apéritif. Good Value."
Hardys Nottage Hill Shiraz 2004 86 Points & Best Value Wine Spectator (October 15, 2006)
85 Points & Best Buy Wine Enthusiast (Buying Guide, November 15, 2006)
20 Bees Chardonnay 2005 "Refresher/Aperitif" Billy's Best Bottles (September 2006) "Green apple tartness and refreshment. Niagara Muscadet. Have a glass or two..."
20 Bees Baco Noir 2005 "Rustic/Lively" Billy's Best Bottles (September 2006) "Tart, invigorating wine for those who enjoy some bite in their reds. An edge like Bob Dylan. A trip to the backwoods. With a burger, of course."
20 Bees Cabernet Merlot 2005 "Rustic/Lively" Billy's Best Bottles (September 2006) "Tart, lively, fruity and a bit challenging. The same pure expression as the other Bees. Lightly chill and gulp for early evening refreshment. Similar in spirit to reds from the Loire Valley in France - another cool climate."
Segura Viudas Aria Estate Brut NNNN ("Intoxicating") NOW Magazine (September 7 - 13, 2006) "Here's a great wine... deliciously fruity and very gulpable". - Graham Duncan
20 Bees Late Harvest Vidal 2005 «««« Tony Aspler, The Wine Guy (September, 2006) "Straw coloured with a nose of honeyed peaches; full-bodied and hefty on the palate with a sweet candy-apple flavour; good balancing acidity and length. Food Match: Apple Strudel".
Banrock Station White Shiraz 2005 Recommended by Rick VanSickle Toronto Sun (July 30, 2006) "Rich strawberry/red berry fruit that follows to the palate. An easy-drinking sweet style with a crisp finish".
Barossa Valley Estate E&E Black Pepper Shiraz 2002 97 Points - TOP WINE! Wine Spectator (October 15, 2006)
Barossa Valley Estate Ebenezer Shiraz 2002 91 Points Wine Spectator (October 15, 2006)
d'Arenberg 'The Lucky Lizard' Chardonnay 2005 90 Points Wine Spectator (September 2006) "Lithe and polished, a wine of subtlety and grace, powered by lively pear and citrus against hints of dusky spice as the finish lingers".
