| Awards & Reviews: |
"One of the best kept secrets in local wine is Colio Estates' sparkling wines that go by the name Lily. They manage to feel both classy and yummy—the ultimate experience in sparkling wine. For pleasing family and friends over the Holidays I'd choose these over wines at twice the price."
Billy Munnelly~www.billysbestbottles.com
"Canada's answer to Prosecco. Lighthearted sparkling wine at an everyday price. Everyday in style too—dry, but also friendly."
Billy Munnelly~Billy's Best Bottles Wines for 2009
"Pale straw colour with a lime tint; a high-toned nose of honey with a floral note; light-bodied, spicy, dry, peach and citrus flavour. A good aperitif wine."
Tony Aspler ~ Tidings Magazine July/August 2009 |
