When this Niagara based consignor was training to be a chef, 40 years ago, his mentor invited him to a tasting where he tried a 1953 Remoissenet Clos de Reas. Enthralled by the complexity of the aromas and flavours he slowly started to build his own collection. Although he has wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and California, he has a passion for Rieslings from the Mosel region and Sauternes. Most of his collection was purchased through LCBO/Vintages and the SAQ, with a small portion coming from Century Liquor in New York. The sauternes were stored in a Vintage Keeper at 58 degrees and the rest were stored in a stone wall lined cellar, temperature and humidity controlled
Producer notes- Dr. Hermann, the Riesling-Estate with more than 9 hectares of vineyards, is managed by Christian Hermann. Winegrowing has been a tradition in the Hermann family for several hundred years. The estate was created in 1967 when the renowned estate Joh. Jos. Christoffel Erben in Ürzig was divided. In the following years, the vineyards were expanded. The Hermann’s specialize in Riesling grown on steep rock slopes. All of their vineyards grow exclusively on old, ungrafted Riesling vines which deliver the most complex Riesling wines.
