87/100 Deinhard Riesling Classic 2007 Rheinhessen, Germany
Take a great vintage, add a well made wine and sell it for next to nothing and you have a bargain. Check out the bright fresh ripe peachy fruit with bits of red apple and citrus on the nose and palate. More finesse than its price would suggest. Serve all summer solo or with light foods.

85/100 De Bortoli Traminer Riesling 2008 New South Wales, Australia
Always aromatic and fresh the latest DB blend offers a floral spicy nose with bits of lemon. The palate is almost identical with a fresh if slightly fatter entry with ripe orange, litchi, citrus flavours. The finish is sweet and suggests this will be good with hot or spicy foods like barbecue ribs or certain Thai dishes.

88/100 Sibling Rivalry White 2008 Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Canada
When you taste a wine like Sibling Rivalry White you wonder why Ontario wine is struggling in a province of 11 million people. Fresh bright, clean and full of citrus and mineral notes it is everything and more than it should be for the price. An aromatic blend of riesling, chardonnay and gewürztraminer it is tailor made for summer. Dry but with ripe attractive fruit it will have broad appeal. Love the screwcap. Maybe it is time to dump the formality Niagara and start making wine consumers want to drink...like this.

87/100 Garry Oaks Blanc de Noir 2008 Burgoyne Valley, Salt Spring Island, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
It’s been a couple of years since I’ve tried this wine but it is as solid as ever. The colour is spot on with its pale pink/orange pink hue, and attractive earthy, fruity spicy nose. The entry is fresh and bright with lemony citrus notes and bits of strawberries. This is classic summer rosé that reminds me of the fine efforts we see from Provence. Bravo.

84/100 Relax Riesling 2008 Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Germany
Soft sweet simple style German riesling. A touch heavy on the palate with sweet orange and peach flavoured fruit. Best served well chilled and with spicy Asian food. It can also make a fun pre-dinner sipper you can serve solo.
