Tolaini Al Passo 2017, Igt Toscana

Aromas of perfume, orange, plum, cherry, barnyard and a hint of molasses. The palate was full of juicy medium plus acidity to compliment the cherry, plum, orange, oak, molasses and violet notes. Dry dusty tannins at the start but settles after thirty minutes. Very soft drinking Tuscan

Tenuta Frescobaldi Castiglioni 2019, Toscana

Vanilla, oak, plum, and some red fruits. This needs a little bit more bottle age to show its true self.

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

Pérez Cruz Chaski Petit Verdot 2018, Do Valle Del Maipo Andes

Chile on the nose with that green bell pepper. Then nutmeg, red plum, and lilac. Medium minus flavors of bell pepper, raspberry, plum, black pepper, and dried herbs. Quick finish with soft chalk tannins, and medium acidity. - July 2023

Burrowing Owl Cabernet Franc 2018, Okanagan Valley

Cabernet Franc from B.C. It had medium-plus aromas of violet, mushrooms, blackberry, and cherry. Initially, the flavours were watery, reminiscent of sautéed bell pepper. After decanting the wine opened with notes of blueberry, black cherry, perfume, mocha, licorice, and menthol. The dry finish softened as time went on. July 2024

Chateau Du Gazin Canon Fronsac 2018, A.C. Fronsac

Medium garnet wine with medium-intensity aromas of blackberry, cocoa, lavender, black pepper, and bell pepper.

Medium-intensity taste of sweet black fruits, chocolate, red fruit, smoke, and minerals. Medium plus acidity with soft tannins. High alcohol that you do feel

Donatella Cinelli Colombini Leone Rosso Orcia 2019, D.O.C.

60% Sangiovese and 40% Merlot. This was delicious right from the pop. Beautiful aromas in this wine of violet, plum, leather, dark cherry, and vanilla.

Flavors of ripe dark cherry, plum, red currant, vanilla, minerals, and oak. Medium plus acidity with a dry finish. Surprised this was 15% abv but you don't feel.... until the end of the bottle :)

This winery just makes bangers, their Brunello was excellent stuff now we have this. -Sept 2023

Southern Right Sauvignon Blanc 2022, En

Love the tropical fruits on the nose, inviting you to hurry up and drink. A cut of grass and citrus follow the fruits.

The palate was juicy with medium plus acidity to go with the grapefruit, grass, citrus, passion fruit, and minerals. Nice length on the finish.
