Totally UNpretentious !

a small Daniel Lenko Sign on Rd 81, Beamsville

this is the tasting room
but should have taken a photos of the Porsche and Mustang
each being loaded with a case of wine
accompanied by Daniel Lenko, great talking to s noted winemaker
who welcomed us and led our tasting
of his fine wines

then like the previous visitors,
we loaded our case of 2004 UNOAKED CHARDONNAY
(by case of 12 only) Gobs of pineapple, lime, lemon and peach aromas.
The fresh, inviting nose leads to a massive, round texture
with a mineral/flint base typical of unoaked chardonnay

btw. photos and letters of/from various Governor Generals ;-)
adorn his small tasting ~sales room
Renovations

Qaulity and Quantity

very commercialised winery
but worth a long visit with all one expects
for an educational visit
architectrual gem
amazing Frank Lloyd Wright and Japan very visible
very Consumer and Tourist orientated;
they must sell a large percentage
of their Ice Wine to Japan !
Renovations

Alsace influence

Friedrich Konzelmann from Uhlbach, from a town near Stuttgart, in Wuerttemberg, Germany, founded Konzelmann Estate Winery inon the lakeshore of Ontario, in the Niagra-on-the-lake region

apt signage

Michael Kacaba purchased the property in 1997

Kachana , i could have been in the Cape Winelands of South Africa
Award winning wines,
neat welcoming signs and driveway over
a what looked like an old military bridge

a wee taste with no purchase
Strewn's cooking school

Strewns

from the Website of John Will the winemaker of Strewns
" Located just outside the Old Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Strewn is a very special destination. Discover our award winning VQA wines, our knowledgeable and friendly staff, and our monthly wine education events. Enjoy lunch or dinner at the restaurant at Strewn or participate in a hands-on cooking class at Canada's only winery cooking school. It's all here waiting for you! "
Nectars of Bacchus is what we came for

our first stop

Puddicombe Estate Farms & Winery
is a 208 year old family fruit farm. Beginning in 1797 as cattle farmers. In the early 1900's we became fruit farmers.
then in 1940,the planting of the first vineyard

Comment from Lu was United Nations, and yes there were people originating and from many continents of the world

bought a pleasant Raspberry wine

 The Okanagan has some fantastic wineries too...I did a taste tour last month and found some wines that would put the French and Italians in the back seat
