If I Could Buy Only One – October 25th Vintages Release

We asked our writers, “If you could buy only one wine from the October 25th release, which one would it be and why?”

Hidden Bench Estate Riesling 2021, VQA Beamsville Bench, Niagara Escarpment, Ontario
John Szabo – In keeping with David’s newsletter theme this week of Canadians stepping up to the plate, my only one this week is an Ontario Riesling in the prime of its career: Hidden Bench Estate Riesling 2021, Niagara Escarpment, Ontario. Showing some age now, this is quality riesling from organically/biodynamically-farmed, at or near its maximum expression and ready for the upcoming holidays.
