| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |

TAWSE |
| A REPEAT of the 2022 edition which is one of the best yet to hit the LCBO shelves. This very tasty, crowd-pleasing, continuously available Vintages Essential has a bright very pale straw colour with an attractive, intense, gently spicy, slightly floral, fresh, ripe apple-melon-lemon nose with bright mineral notes. Off-dry and medium-light bodied, the tangy, fresh, bright, ripe, apple-melon-lemon flavours are followed up with a lingering, crisp, mineral-tinged finish. Wonderfully balanced and ready-to-drink, it has a modest 10% alcohol, 28 g/L residual sugar and a seriously hefty refreshing 9.23 g/L total acidity with a screwcap closure. A terrific well-priced refresher, especially with flavourful, spicy, hot, Chinese and Indian dishes. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: Clean, crisp, and classic, the Sketches riesling offers flavours of ripe peaches, apples, and apricots, alongside a faint, shower curtain-adjacent aroma. There is sweetness here for sure, but it is balanced by tart acidity. I would drink this riesling over the next couple of years, perhaps paired with sweet and spicy sauces, something along the lines of Thai, Laotian, and Indian curries. Tasted June 2024.
