Last week, I went to the LCBO to pick up a bottle of Ravine 2008 Chardonnay and it was really good. It had a really good blend of fruit and oak throughout…also has a great straw colour. This wine might be better in 2-3 years as the flavours all become integrated.
My first introduction to Ravine was last year at Wine Camp Toronto when they poured their 2007 Riesling. It was a good by itself but was amazing with some of the cheeses.
Their winery is beautiful and a cool place for a wine tasting. Wine tasting at Ravine are held along a long bench in a renovated house. Next door there is a little snack shop with great selection of cheese and other ‘winery snacks’. If you are done in Niagara (St. David to be exact) drop by… you won’t be disappointed.
