[Growwine] Blattner vine info

[Larry Paterson]

Paul:

I tasted these and posted notes online at  http://littlefatwino.com/viewpointe.html      from the Outer Limits tasting.  I do not know which particular varieties were involved, but I do remember that the blend was, to my taste, the best by far.

The wines were apparently grown by John Fancsy at Viewpointe and made by Jim Warren of Stoney Ridge fame.

Grape guy Michael Pinkus put his thoughts at http://ontheroadwithgrapeguy.blogspot.com:80/2007/07/report-from-outer-limits-of-ontario.html

even saying nice things about some Terry Rayner guy, but follow down to best Enigma to see the comments about Blattner (Paul T has left a footprint at the bottom of this page).

Paul I seem to remember you posting tasting notes from Outer Limits, including the Blattners, at

http://hybridwines.blogspot.com/2007/07/notes-from-outer-limits-of-ontario-wine.html

Outer Limits was a fun event, but it will likely be at best a once-every-two-years phenomenon unless someone wants to come up with ways to make it happen...

Paul, thanks for the info on these fascinating new hybrids.  I was lucky enough to try some examples from the Harrow area during the Outer Limits tasting last summer and am extremely impressed with the complexity and tannins in these hybrid reds.  Frankly I would ev en go so far as to say that they should be thought of as possibly the premier red wine grapes for those areas "in between" the Lake Erie North Shore and Niagara appellations - true Ontario country wines in other words.  I can't wait to see some of their wines made available for consumers.
