Ontario - Niagara on the Lake - Riverview Cellars

Riverview Cellars - (August 2016)

We entered a crowded tasting room. We saw another tasting room in the back of the building (for food pairing by reservation) but walked into the retail shop and browsed while waiting. When it was our turn, the tasting host apologized for the wait and explained that each taste was two dollars unless we did a flight for five dollars. The flight did not include the ice wines.

My wife decided to try the Gewürztraminer, but it was more floral than what she was use to. She also had the Fontana Dolce, a sweet white wine, and the Fontana Rose, a wine similar to white zinfandel.
I tried the baco noir, which was very mellow, the syrah, bolder than the baco noir, but its tannic
structure was more bitter, and the cabernet franc, which had no taste or finish. Nothing impressed us.
