PUT A CORK IN IT Chill your red and white wines to perfection with the Corkcicle. Over-­chilling can disguise a wineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s palate; too warm and the alcohol may overpower.

Place the Corkcicle inside the bottle and it chills wines from the inside, keeping them at just the right drinking temperature and allowing you to enjoy the vintnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uniquely crafted bouquet.

Available at Susanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Just Because, 280 Main St., Picton, Ontario and various Chapters and Indigo Books stores across Ontario.

Serve your guests from the original bottle or from the carafe. Fits cork or screw-­top bottles.

PREPARATION: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Lightly grease six ramekins, each holding (6 oz). Place them into a baking dish that comes up as high as the dishes.

To prepare the caramel layer, pour 2 tbsp (30 mL) water into a saucepot and add 1/2 (125 mL) cup of sugar and lemon juice.

Bring sugar to a boil over high heat, without stirring. Boil sugar until it caramelizes, about 4 minutes as it cooks, occasionally brush down the side of the pot with cool water. Carefully spoon this into prepared ramekins and let it cool for 15 minutes.

To prepare custard, whisk eggs with remaining 1/3 cup (75 mL) of sugar, then whisk in cream, cinnamon and vanilla. Pour into ramekins.

Pour boiling water around the ramekins, so that the water comes at least halfway up the ramekins.

Bake custards until theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re set at the edges but still jiggles in the middle, 25 to 30 minutes. Let the custards cool for 20 minutes in the pan, then carefully remove to cool to room temperature before chilling for at least 3 hours.

To serve crème caramels, run a knife around inside edge of each ramekin to loosen custards. Place dish overtop ramekin and invert.

Lift away ramekin and serve.

Serves 6.

TASTING NOTES Karlo Estates 2010 CHOA Chardonnay, non-­VQA Prince Edward County ($25.00).

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not often that something interesting gets done to Chardonnay ... This is an experimental wine from Richard Karlo where he puts the wine in a mixed CHOA barrel which is grown entirely in Prince Edward County, for three months. And what, may we ask is CHOA? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mixed wood barrel made form cherry, hickory, oak and ash ... now that is truly interesting. The nose is toasty with vanilla, baked pear and crème brĂťlĂŠe notes. The palate offers up a vanilla toastiness with lovely white fruits that develop as the wine sits in the glass, with a clean and WDVW\ FUqPH EUÂ&#x20AC;OpH Ă&#x20AC;QLVK ,W¡V Chardonnay with a new spin.

Year after year Thirty Bench is turning out some of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best Rieslings. This is a lovely Riesling with generous yellow plum-­ pineapple aromas front and centre, some background spice, anise and lemon. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only 11.1% alcohol but feels richer thanks to a hint of sweetness and the fruit.

Fielding Estate Winery Cabernet Franc 2010, VQA Niagara, ($22.95).

Although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unquestionably suited to local terroir, Ontario still seems to be searching for a regional paradigm for Cabernet Franc. Fielding proposes a good model to follow with this 2010 release.

Colaneri 2009 Insieme, VQA Ontario ($34.95) This captured the award for Top Red Blend as voted by the winemakers at Cuvee 2012. It is a blend of Merlot, Syrah and Cab Franc with some dried/appassimento fruit. Expect a lifted, complex nose of black pepper, dried cherry fruit, clove and smoky oak -­ all quite well harmonized. ,W¡V PLG ZHLJKW VPRRWK DQG ZDUP RYHU D OHDQ IUDPH 7KH VSLFH FRPSRQHQW LV KXJH HVSHFLDOO\ RQ WKH Ă&#x20AC;QLVK ([FHOOHQW OHQJWK 5DWLQJ SRLQWV (David Lawrason)

Bachelder Niagara Chardonnay, 2009, Niagara Peninsula VQA ($34.95). On its own, this outstanding Chardonnay is merely marvelous. In the context of the two sister wines produced in the same vintage in Oregon and Burgundy by former Le Clos Jordanne winemaker Thomas Bachelder, it rises even further in stature. Pale crystal-­gold, pure ripe aromas of poached pear, crisp apple, and chipped stone with hints of French oak and vanilla. But just hints. The wineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brilliance lies in its subtlety, its silky texture, its structured delivery, and long, ripe, supple, clean, complete after taste. Drink now to 2018. Rating: 94 points.
