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

Henry Of Pelham Estate Chardonnay 2013, VQA Short Hills Bench, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$19.95
Absolutely fantastic Chardonnay. This is textbook Oaked Chardonnay. Balanced fruit and acidity and very calm on the palate. HOP has a great track record of consistent wine making and this chard continues that legacy at a terrific price.

Manoir Du Carra Les Bottières Juliénas 2012, Ac
Beaujolais, France$19.95
This is impressive for it's silkiness as it's very Pinot like. It's medium bodied and smooth. Ripe cherries, cola, hot rock steam, cedar and vanilla. Has a soft velvety finish.

Perrin & Fils Peyre Blanche Cairanne Côtes Du Rhône Villages 2009, Ac
Rhône, France$17.95
cool smoky cherry, blueberry- vanilla complemented with potpourri herb and spices, & black pepper. faint bluberry and bitter cherry pit on the palate. this one needs more bottle age 5-6 years at least. not complex now but has the ability to be maybe...truthfully I'm just not digg'n this wine...too bitter, hot and thin with a short finish

Westcott Vineyards Estate Chardonnay 2013, VQA Vinemount Ridge
Ontario, Canada$16.25
A big full bodied chardonnay with harmoniously integrated oak. Although it's weighty, it possess a real elegance...in my opinion of course.

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.

Foreign Affair Petit Verdot "On Assignment” 2012
Ontario, Canada$32.25
This wine is outstanding! It hits the palate with a gentle sweetness that transitions perfectly to a dry finish...like magic. Ripe blueberries, vanilla, with hints of coco and sweet tobacco. Great mouth feel. Superb wine.

Louis Jadot Château Des Jacques Moulin à Vent 2011, Ac
Beaujolais, France$29.95
Yes, this is outstanding! It's packed full of red berries, violets, and Burgundian earthy funk (aka Brett). It's highly concentrated, with smooth lush tannins. The finish is long, focused and delicious.
