Norman Hardie County Chardonnay Unfiltered 2013, VQA Prince Edward County
Ontario, Canada$39.00
wow! we had this on the deck at the winery and I had to run upstairs immediately to buy a few bottles. Had it at home since, and wish I'd bought more. It's like a premier cru white burgundy at a fraction of the price. very, very, highly recommended.

Norman Hardie County Unfiltered Pinot Noir 2011, VQA Prince Edward County
Ontario, Canada$35.00
Tasted this on the weekend at the winery. I usually love Norman's Pinot's so wasn't surprised to love this vintage too. One of Ontario's best Pinots! It's a little lighter vintage, but has complexity and finesse. I bought a few bottles, so was happy when I looked online here to see the critics agreed with my assessment. ;)

Norm hits another home run in 2012! Quintessential PEC Pinot. I can't believe the price on this isn't climbing yet!

Domaine Du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf Du Pape 2006, Ac, La Crau
Rhône, France$99.00
Tasted at Vintages RIdeau/KingEdward Jan 31/2009.
Nice, earthy fruit here, but compared to past vintages this lacks some concentration. An excellent wine, and true to type, but a little thin and tannic for the fruit. It's not a must-have vintage for me. For the price ($73) it's not great value.

Seresin Raupo Creek Pinot Noir 2008, Marlborough
Marlborough, New Zealand$34.25
This is an excellent Pinot. It paired well with a mushroom pasta dish Saturday. I pumped the leftovers and it tasted even better Sunday. I told my wife this was a amazingly great Pinot for $25. Unfortunately I somehow didn't get the price right. At $45 it's not so amazing - but it's still a great Pinot - and still recommended.

The Old Third Vineyard Pinot Noir 2011, Prince Edward County
Ontario, Canada$42.00
A very pretty Pinot. I tasted this at the winery on the weekend and was impressed enough to buy a bottle and support an exciting new producer in the County. I think it's a little over-priced compared to the competition though. I like Norman Hardie's 2011 Pinot Noir better, and it's priced at $35. I guess Norm should raise his prices? ;)
