Talk:Reif Estate Winery

Wine Spectator
Can someone with a Wine Spectator account look at the Reif entry and evaluate the type of source? This article currently has no citations that demonstrate a presumption of notability under WP:GNG or WP:WINERY, and these must be found and added as soon as possible.

 * I have a Wine Spectator account and while Wine Spectator is, undoubtedly, a reliable source, this link is merely to its directory entry giving its address, phone number, website and tasting room fees. Wine Spectator does this for every winery and it is essentially like a Yelp, Inc. directory page for any restaurant. There is nothing particularly notable or significant about this entry. Doing a broader search of the Wine Spectator website, I did find one article from 1995 that has a little more significant coverage about the winery in a few lines within the larger article about North American ice wine as a whole (quoted below).
 * That said, looking at the hits for Reif on Able Grape (narrowed to just the press mentions), it looks like there may be some reliable sources with more significant coverage on the winery. AgneCheese/Wine 03:05, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Ontario winemaker Klaus Reif says he gets only 80 to 100 liters of juice from a ton of frozen Riesling. Unfrozen Riesling can yield more than five times as much.

Reif, 31, was born in Germany and trained in enology at the prestigious Geisenheim Institute. He made his first ice wines in Germany before coming to Canada in 1987 to work at Reif Estate Winery, founded by an uncle in 1982. Reif makes ice wines from both the European vinifera grape, Riesling, and the hybrid, Vidal.
