Bowmore 12 Years Old Islay Single Malt, United Kingdom
Scotland, World$75.95
Tastes like Ozonol cream or a Band-aid.

La Velona Brunello Di Montalcino 2009, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$39.95
Nose offers smoky vanilla, herbs and spices. Very dry on the palate - cherry tobacco follows. It's thin to medium bodied and well knit. A good decant is needed to open this little devil up.

The Balvenie 12 Y O Doublewood, Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Scotland, World$134.95
Thought this would have been a lot richer and smoother. Not totally impressed here for the price. Much cheaper options out there in my opinion.

Bachelder Wismer Vineyard Chardonnay 2010, VQA Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$44.95
So complex and different. Fermented completely with the use of wild yeasts to make this a slow "nail-biting" process, says Thomas Bachelder. It’s awesome to see talented winemakers take risks! With the birth of Thomas Bachelder’s new label, his legendary abilities really shine through.

Domaine Terlato & Chapoutier Lieu Dit Malakoff Shiraz 2010, Pyrenees
Victoria, Australia$35.25
Well made, smooth & structured. interesting and mind provoking...black pepper, blueberry, cherry, violets,tobacco..etc... the palate is super smooth but flavours turn to sour or expired chocolate, leather (lots of leather) gamey almost???...weird...but enjoyable...not a blockbuster, for the wine nerd.

Tawse Quarry Road Chardonnay 2010, VQA Vinemount Ridge, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$34.95
Loved this wine for its fullness of character – smooth, big, ripe, lush, tropical & zesty fruits with buttery mineral notes, vanilla oak and more. Very nice long caressing finish.

Rosewood Estates Natural Fermentation Reserve Pinot Noir 2009, VQA Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$39.95
This is a sensational Niagara Pinot! Loads of crème fraiche, sweet maraschino cherries, ripe strawberries and smoky raspberries, with slight earthly undertones. It has extraordinary breadth and depth to the palate, with a long caressing finish. It’s truly one of the most delightful and delicious Pinot Noirs I have ever tasted.
