Peninsula ridge has a beautiful building in a great location.
They are close enough to Hamilton that you could make it to their restaurant (opens in may) for lunch from Burlington.
They carry a wide selection of good wine and have a truly excellent cheese cabinet. The staff know their wine and are a pleasure to deal with.
If you want something sweet, I would skip their ice wine and grab their white port instead. -

I've had awesome icewines, good icewines, and okay icewines. But I've never had a bad icewine, until today.
First stop on my quest for the perfect icewine, I stop by Peninsula Ridge. Three icewines were available for tasting: Vidal, Riesling, and Cabernet Franc.
This stuff tasted like someone made it in the back room mixing sugar, syrup, and water. None of the rich fruity flavors, or the balanced acidity. It is flat sugar water crap.
The woman next to me was gushing about how great the cab franc was. She also asked what icewine was. Being a wine snob, I was scoffing at her ignorance, thinking, "yeah, they made this sh*t so people like you would buy this crap."
For those who don't know what icewine is, save the hate. But even if you didn't know, if you had any taste buds at all, you would probably agree with me. I don't need to pay $40 for a bottle of icewine for something that I could've probably made at home by freezing a bunch of grapes in my freezer.
This was so bad--that I couldn't even finish my 1-oz samples which cost $2 each. -

Their wines are great, and they have a good selection of cheeses to taste with the wines. The restaurant is one of the best I have been to in the region (especially the delicious warm goat's cheese appetizer). Their customer service is also amazing...one of the winery employees actually drove me to a nearby gas station when I had car trouble.
