Niagara has certain stigmas surrounding it. The Canadian region was a big honeymoon favorite in the \u201880s and \u201890s, when couples would come to see the falls and stay at the casinos. It\u2019s the heart of Canada\u2019s ice wine production\u2014one of our Northern neighbors greatest liquid exports (other than whisky). But Niagara is also home to a wildly interesting wine area that is far more compelling than its ice wine reputation lets on. It\u2019s a hub for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir\u00a0 of increasingly excellent quality.<\/p>\n

For the most part, these wines would run you around $20\u2014$30, perhaps $40 on the high end. Until now, that is. Two seasoned veterans (Angela Marotta and Melissa Marotta-Paolicelli) of the Ontario wine scene have opened a stunning, palatial new winery in Niagara that is raising the bar for local wines.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The sparklings are thoughtful, the whites are Bordeaux in essence. Reds are heavy hitters\u2014the current release is Cabernet Sauvignon- and Merlot-dominant with a big kiss of Cabernet Franc. All are built to be extremely ageable\u2014recently, I tasted through the 2016s (ten year old wines) and they were vibrant, richly expressive and elegant. Canada, eh? $150<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n
