Latest news from Featherstone

The most recent newsletter from Featherstone includes:


THE F'ING WINERY TOUR
Join Featherstone, Flat Rock and Fielding (all the F'ing wineries) for a weekend full of phenomenally fun winery tours, filled with fantastic, flavourful, wines paired with fabulous finger-licking good food bites. Tour dates: May 5 & 6 from 11-5 pm daily. Passports can be purchased for $10.00 each and include:
- chance to enter a draw for an f'ing good prize
- complementary tasting of two fantastic wines at each winery, served with a funky twist.
Featherstone's f'ing food pairing will be focaccia topped with Upper Canada Triple Crème Brie and sun dried tomato pesto.



They're also releasing their first-ever Sauvignon Blanc:


The newly released 2006 Featherstone Sauvignon Blanc VQA has lots of tropical fruit flavours with the typical grassy notes: it is zesty, refreshing and incredibly drinkable. As wine writer Gord Stimmel says: "My top scoring wines do confirm excellence again in our local wineries. I'd like to share my winners with you … Featherstone 2006 Sauvignon Blanc shows the typical straw/grassy nose, with an exotic touch of kiwi, leading into flavours of zesty lime and lemon, with a crisp finish."

It's a summer's day in a glass, full of vitality and spirit. Enjoy slightly chilled with a patio lunch, as pre-dinner sipping or with seafood appetizers.
