Hidden Bench Estate Pinot Noir Unfiltered 2019, VQA Beamsville Bench
Ontario, Canada$34.95
Castello Di Querceto Chianti Classico Riserva 2007, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$29.95
Apr 2013. Colour is holding still, quite dark. Really lovely nose of spice & earth, with quite rich fruit. Med bodied, and a nice blend of of classic sangiovese character with moderm winemaking. Could go several more years, but really lovely right now.
Castello Di Querceto Chianti Classico Riserva 2010
Tuscany, Italy$29.95
Just an arch-classic Chianti, full of umami-driven flavours but also endowed with ripe plum fruit. Loved this.
Fattoria Di Basciano Il Corto 2009, Igt Colli Della Toscana Centrale
Tuscany, Italy$22.75
Another excellent Il Corto, although seems more evolved than the 2007 at a similar age. Packed with flavours of earth, spice, and dried fruit. Very Tuscan. Perhaps not quite as fine as the 2007.
Tendil & Lombardi Blanc De Noirs Brut Champagne
Champagne, France$42.95
An excellent champagne, with lively mousse and deep leesy flavour.
Gekkeikan “Horin” Ultra Premium Dai Ginjō, Kyoto, Kansai Region (300ml)

Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico 2016, Docg, Italy
Tuscany, Italy$28.39
Nice vibrant Chianti here, with ripe cherry inflected fruit and a wash of minerality and earthiness across the middle. Tart, snappy and quite long. Classic idiom. Drinking well now but will hold a few more.
