Kew Vineyards Blanc De Noir 2011, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$23.75
I love how crisp and clean this wine is. It has a nice fresh citrus kick to it. A fine mousse with every sip. The Blanc de Blanc was my favorite of the bunch due to the oak influence. However they are all high quality in my opinion. Great QPR for bubbles.

Nicely made wine, however I was expecting a little more from this Saint Amour - one of my favorite Crus.

Bordon Gran Reserva 2005
Rioja, Spain$24.90
Smooth as satin with wet wood, tobacco and sweet cherry/vanilla herb infused flavours. It demonstrates its maturity nicely.

Más Que Vinos Ercavio Tempranillo Roble 2011, Tierra De Castilla
Spain$16.95
This is a really seductive wine. Smells of red roses, sugar plums, blueberries and a hint of smoke. Refined tannins make this medium bodied wine silky and smooth. Reminds me a little of Cotes du Rhone. I definitely recommend this!

Veneto, Italy$18.95
This is a fairly complex Ripasso, but a tad too alcoholic for my liking.

Tasted the 2013 - Loads of smokey, hickory BBQ meats and ripe blueberries. Great mouth feel and finish.

Hãhã Pinot Noir 2011, Marlborough, South Island
Marlborough, New Zealand$21.95
Plummy raisiny, cooked or stewed fruit flavours. Hot and short with a bit of a burn. Not much to get excited about.

Oak Bay Gamay Noir 2012, BC VQA Okanagan Valley
British Columbia, Canada$17.95
I can see why WA folks like this Gamay...It's true to its roots, very much reminds me a Cru Beaujolais. The nose is a classic mix of roses, violets, beets, earthy mud and potpourri. The palate is smooth with an iodine thickness. Sweet and sour Swedish berry candies dominate. Remember to decant for an hour to release its full potential.
