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.

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.

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.

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.

Louis Bouillot Perle D'aurore Brut Rosé Crémant De Bourgogne, Traditional Method, Ac, Burgundy, France
Burgundy, France$25.95
Pours a nice creamy mousse, with a pretty pink-copper colour. It’s stylish, with delicate raspberry and strawberry flavors…there’s a hint of sweetness on the mid palate to add pleasure but finishes dry and crisp.

Vignerons De Gigondas La Font Des Grières Gigondas 2007, Ac
Rhône, France$19.95
Delicious blueberry fruit – fresh not jammy, with mineral notes, extremely smooth on the pallet and impeccable structure. I wish I bought more last year…grrrr

Pondview Bella Terra Cabernet Franc 2009, VQA Four Mile Creek, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$28.00
Get down to the winery and taste the 2010 vintage release... it's hands down the best single varietal Cab/ Franc I have every had. Packed with terroir driven fruit and earthiness, it's smoky and delicious. It has incredible concentration of fruit & remains perfectly balanced. Impressive and complex.
