H. J. Fabre Barrel Selection Malbec 2014, Patagonia
Argentina$14.25
Give this 20 minutes to open up in your glass - it shows beautiful fruity/ floral and earthy notes with charred wood and vanilla. The palate has a cough syrup viscosity which makes it very easy to drink. Nice long finish. This is a wine you can just smell all night long. Score = Complex and smooth.

Fielding Estate Bottled Chardonnay 2013, VQA Beamsville Bench
Ontario, Canada$18.15
Great cool climate notes pulling though on this Chard. Melon and pineapple fruit with vanilla oak and a real saltiness on the finish. Smells cool!

Terre Di Rubinoro Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano 2006, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$17.95
A beautiful wine, Rioja similarities. Nose and taste: Slightly spicy cherry, cinnamon, clove, sandalwood or light oak saw dust. Super smooth on the palate, sexy smooth, a hint of sweetness but dry and structured. Loved it. 92 pts

Perrin Les Cornuds Vinsobres 2009, Ac
Rhône, France$15.00
Wow I didn't expect this much quality from a low priced Perrin & Fils. Thankfully it was recommended by Vintage staff, or else I would have passed it by. Lush and delicious. What a great Rhone wine at an amazing price. Violets, cherry concentrate, hint of bitter coffee and wet rocks come to mind.

Las Rocas Garnacha 2009, Do Calatayud
Spain$15.00
2009 vintage is alot better than those previous of this wine. This wine tastes great and has the complexity of a Gigondas. 15 bucks...great buy!

De Bortoli Gulf Station Pinot Noir 2015, Yarra Valley, Victoria
Victoria, Australia$16.25
This is right on the money for me! I love the strawberry and mushroom notes. It's smooth with a little heat on the finish. This is most definitely a pleasure to drink and a quaint every day sipper! Score = Strawberry delicious.

Kew Vineyards Estate Heritage 2012, VQA Beamsville Bench, Niagara Escarpment
Ontario, Canada$39.95
This is quite firm at the moment. Lots of cherry-tobacco, cassis, ripe plum - typical Cab flavours. But the palate is quite harsh and burns. I imagine this will soften, so great wine but needs time. Try the 2012 Solder's Grant, it's much more approachable.

Henry Of Pelham Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 2008, VQA Short Hills Bench, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$19.95
A little rough around the edges - both smooth and rough with sour hints and salted butter.
