Schola Sarmenti Roccamora Nardo' Negroamaro 2006, Doc Nardò

Delightful gift from Chris for dinner Labour day weekend 2011.
Cherry filled full body paired lovely with the hard cheeses we were enjoying on the patio.
Repeat but for sure

Domaine Jean Bousquet Malbec (Organic) 2008, Mendoza

I found this a very enjoyable wine.
The flavor was full, moderately complex, yet soft and round with a nice long finish.

Definitely worth the 11 price tag, quite a bargain.

First Press Chardonnay 2008, Napa Valley

Good, jury is out on how great.
This is on the repeat buy list, need a second go around to see if it rocks my world

Farnese Montepulciano D'abruzzo 2009

Drinkable, if not gulpable
Medium bodied, nothing spectacular, but, nothing unappealing either.
Great value for the money

Villa Antinori Toscana I.G.T. 2006, Tuscany

Thoroughly enjoyed at Andrea's birthday with a bounty of cheese and smoked salmon.
Delightful, and memorable, but, unfortunately that is all can recall.
In the delicious, but, so many others to explore not sure if I would buy it again or not category

Majella The Musician Cabernet/Shiraz 2010, Coonawarra, South Australia

bought a case bass Oma previous vintage. Not disappointed, but, not thinking i got the deal of the century. Great wine at a price point of a lot of great wines. Worthy of a taste, but, the case will do me fine.

D'arenberg The Stump Jump Lightly Wooded Chardonnay 2008, Adelaide, South Australia

Loving this one.
This was moved from the vintages line up, and I can. See why it was there originally.

This is the Ned mid level go to bottle, replacing our Wolfblass.

Kangaroo pee still wins the <$10, but this is a regular in the fridge now

Catena Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

strong choice. going to be my go to

Union Red 2007, Ontario VQA

Very drinkable but nothing remarkable.
A gulp able wine

Trivento Tribu Malbec 2010, Mendoza

Nothing wrong with this wine, just, nothing really right.
Good taste, drinkable and certainly recommended at the price.
This wine would not offend anyone and if your looking for a bottle to drink, rather than savor, this is a great choice.
