Flat Rock Cellars 'Rusty Shed' Chardonnay 2005
VQA Twenty Mile Bench $25.15 (1560)
Smoke, oak and citrus notes form the aromatic profile for this meticulously fashioned medium-bodied nicely textured charmer. The fruit flavours are well balanced. The oak is well integrated leaving an enjoyable mouthful of crisp and refreshing citrus tang and nuances of pit fruit flavours. The lingering finish delivers more of the same making it a perfect partner for pan-seared scallops over a bed of arugula and under a squish of fresh lemon. Order from www.flatrockcellars.com. (VH)

The Grange of Prince Edward County 'Trumpour's Mill' Riesling 2006
VQA Ontario $15.80
Tantalizing aromas of lemon-lime soda and mineral notes dance from the glass of this crisp and refreshing wine. Look for oodles of citrus flavours (grapefruit and lemon) along with Granny Smith apple. The medium length finish delivers more of the same, finishing zesty and clean. Enjoyable on its own, it's also the perfect foil to smoked salmon. Order toll free direct from the winery at 866.792.7712 ext. 27. (VH)
