Château Pey De Pont 2009, Ac Médoc
Bordeaux, France$17.75
Great nose! But fruit is a little shy on the palate. Structured with nice tannins. I'm guessing this one needs more bottle age to develop its flavours.

Coyote's Run Rare Vintage Chardonnay 2013, VQA Four Mile Creek, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$24.95
Nice full bodied Chard. Sweet and buttery. Maybe a tad off balance but delicious all the same.

Penthouse Pinot Noir 2013, Adelaide Hills
South Australia, Australia$12.25
As always, give this wine time to breath and drink it out of a nice burgundy stem and it blooms into a well balanced and quite diverse Pinot. Smokey strawberries and tomato plant waft out of the glass. The palate is light with classic Pinot developed tannins. Great buy!

Henry Of Pelham Speck Family Reserve Pinot Noir 2010, VQA Short Hills Bench, Niagara Escarpment
Ontario, Canada$28.25
Well we know where the 2012 reserve is headed. This 2010 is super delicate but with structure and balance. Tannins are smooth but noticeable. New world cool climate Pinot notes - strawberry, cherry, cola, hickory smoke, and vanilla. Nice finish. On-sale for $28. Buy lots!!!!

Angulo Innocenti Malbec 2010, La Consulta, Mendoza
Mendoza, Argentina$18.95
Big tannins stain your glass. The nose busts with freshly made grape juice concentrate. It's really tannic, reminds me of Tannat...too astringent, harsh, powerful and bitter for my palate. Deeply concentrated. Finished with vanilla oak & bitter black coffee grinds.

Tawse Cherry Avenue Pinot Noir 2010, Twenty Mile Bench VQA
Ontario, Canada$57.95
Needs time. Tannins are harsh and flavours are muted. Great bones to this wine however. Perhaps it will become lovable over time...

Loimer Grüner Veltliner Trocken 2011, Dac Kamptal
Austria$19.95
Am i missing something? I thought this Gruner tasted like sake. Lemon/Lime rice flaovors. Not really my cup of tea.

Domaine Jean Bousquet Grande Réserve Malbec 2012
Mendoza, Argentina$19.75
Loaded with ripe plums, brown sugar, sweet tobacco and vanilla (Hint of coffee grinds). Very ripe, almost cooked, but the tannins and acidity revive the palate. Very big and lush but just a tad off balance. Still, very enjoyable so Cab Heads will rejoice.
