From Mark Criden
We tasted a spectacular range of wines at Chateau Niagara. Please read on.
As the former wine critic for Buffalo Spree magazine, I had many opportunities to taste wines in the Niagara region of New York. At first, the area’s wines were promising, but undernourished, the results of young vines and early stage winemaking.

As the former wine critic for Buffalo Spree magazine, I had many opportunities to taste wines in the Niagara region of New York. At first, the area’s wines were promising, but undernourished, the results of young vines and early stage winemaking. Having not tasted here in a half dozen years, I returned recently and tasted at a number of local wineries. The tasting especially at Chateau Niagara was astonishing.
Chateau Niagara’s wines can stand with any peer wines I’ve tried lately, and they’re available at jaw-dropping prices. While the crisp, true-to-varietal whites made believers out of our red-wine loving companions, it was the reds that truly elevate Chateau Niagara to the ranks of world-class wineries. The $20 Pinot Noir would shame many a red Burgundy costing many times this price. But don’t stop there. Try the excellent Hungarian blend Bull’s Blood, and the delicious Bordeaux blend Trinity. The apotheosis of the reds, the Cabernet Franc, at $30, is a fantastic value, easily standing shoulder to shoulder with Joguet’s Loire Valley reds.
Finally, finish with the unusual Kagor, a sweet, rich red bottled in 375’s. As delicious with chocolate as Banyuls, it’s a great meal ending drink.
I can’t wait to go back to see how well these wines will continue to develop.
Highest recommendation.
