Domaine Dupré Vignes De 1935 Morgon 2012, Ac
Beaujolais, France$19.95
Classic Beaujolais sweet and sour strawberry notes with some smoke on the nose. There's also a faint hint of marshmallow. Light silky tannins. Perhaps not that exciting, but a textbook example of Beauj.

Jacques Depagneux Côte De Py Morgon 2011, Ac
Beaujolais, France$18.95
The nose offers an unmistakeable burgundy funk that I adore...violets, red roses, roasted red beets, sugar cane, rocky minerals with hints of marshmallow and mushrooms. The nose is wild and exotic. The palate is supple, soft and clean with noticeable tannin bringing impeccable structure to the wine. It finishes with loads of red beets. I absolutely loved it!

Maison Roche De Bellene Cuvée Réserve Bourgogne 2010, Ac
Burgundy, France$19.95
Really funky nose of marshmallow, nail polish, wax, cherry, vanilla oak and earthy notes (mushroom) - very odd and intriguing at the same time. The palate is structured and balanced with cherry cola, earthy iron notes. Nice composed and fairly long finish. I loved it for its oddness.

Canonica A Cerreto Sandiavolo 2006, Igt Toscana
Tuscany, Italy$24.95
Kind of a muted note? I get burnt wood, char, ash and smoke. The fruit is really faint but perhaps blueberry puree. The palate is medium weight with really aggressive tannins. Finishes with a fine grade sandpaper on your tongue. Too astringent for me. 93 PTS JS...he must have tasted it after smoking a cigar.

Southbrook Triomphe Organic Cabernet Franc Rosé 2011, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$19.95
Seriously delicious. This is one of the best Rose's the Niagara region has ever produced. It coats your palate with mouth watering fruit, herbs and spices. Refreshing and luxurious.

Ravine Vineyard Chardonnay 2010, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$24.00
Very Macon-Villages - it's an elegant chardonnay with a purity of butter and salty minerality at the forefront that adds undertones of caramel vanilla oak. A nice light sipper. Very suave.

Lapilli Beneventano Aglianico 2014, Igt
Campania, Italy$13.75
Smells like volcanic ash and cedar. The palate is dry and structured with hints of sweet oaK. Score = intriguing.

Ross Estate Lynedoch 2006, Barossa Valley, South Australia
South Australia, Australia$19.90
Even though it has a tad of artificial flavour to it, I can't deny how well made and delicious it is. I love how Ross Estate wines are full bodied, but fresh on the palate. So much flavour & structure is packed into this wine for the price. Amazing QPR!
