Chanzy Le Bois Cassien Monopole Mercurey 1er Cru 2019, A.C.

Medium minus aromas and flavours of lemon, honey, white flowers, and melon. Cream and hazelnut also show up on the tongue. Long finish with age showing. I enjoyed the nose on this even though it was subtle- March 2024

Luce Brunello Di Montalcino 2018, D.O.C.G.

Aromas of cherry, raspberry, and flowers that seemed like they were sprinkled with baby powder, yes you read that right

Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2022, Marlborough

#10 on Wine Spectator's Wine of the Year list. A good thing this came out at the LCBO before the list dropped or it wouldn't have been so cheap.

Lovely aromas of elderflower, honey, butter, hay, & passion fruit. Aromas except for the flowers showed up on the tongue in a subtle yet delicious way along with lemon, & pepper. Great acidity to go with the medium plus finish. The folks at Greywacke don't miss, their Riesling was fantastic now this. Amazing food & snack wine especially with semi-soft cheese & fig jam.-March 2024

Monmarthe Secret De Famille 1er Cru Brut Champagne, A.C.

Valentine's Day wine....

Lots of bubbles on this nice crisp wine, nose was reduced with a hint of hay, lemon, and brioche. But lovely on the palate; apple, lemon, honey, toast, rose petal, and lemon zest.

Lovely stuff that goes well with charred honey mustard salmon. Good value at $44 CDN- Feb 2024

Caparzo Brunello Di Montalcino 2004, Docg

Château Coufran 2010, A.C. Haut Médoc

Aged Bordeaux at a good value, 14 years so let's see what we have here. Tons of sediment in the bottle, aromas of plum, red chili peppers, prune, and some earthy aromas.

Juicy red plum, leather, coffee, molasses, balsamic, and orange peel. I do enjoy these dominant Left Bank Merlot's.- Jan 2024

Dr. Hermann Erdener Treppchen Riesling Spätlese 2010, Prädikatswein

The first taste created goosebumps, a wonderful old riesling, the oldest I have ever tasted, 13 years. Gold almost heading to amber.

Aromas of petroleum, apricots, marmalade, honey, and flint.

Wonderful flavors of marmalade, honey, apricots, and a hint of petroleum which was more pronounced on the nose but subtle on the tongue, long finish. This wine was Sauternes-like, I Love it. Oh it's fantastic with curry sausages

Il Molino Di Grace Riserva Chianti Classico 2015, Docg

The last time I had this was in 2022.

Lots of perfume on the nose along with potting soil, raspberry, dried herbs, anise, and prune.

Juicy cranberry, black cherry, licorice, balsamic, minerals and pepper. Medium plus acidity with medium tannins and finish. Give these 60 minutes for the tannins to settle down. - Feb 2024

Torres Salmos 2015, Doca Priorat

Caparzo Brunello Di Montalcino 2014, Docg
