Nada Giuseppe Casot Barbaresco 2012, Docg
Piedmont, Italy$33.25
I found this really tight at the moment, making it hard to pull out flavors. It's thin but structured with a very suave mouth feel. I'll have to revisit this in a couple of years.

Fowles Wine The Exception Cabernet Sauvignon 2010, Strathbogie Ranges
Victoria, Australia$20.75
Stellar wine! Offers a nice balance between classic cab characteristics and new world fruit & oak. Cool Climate provides herbs and leafy tobacco notes to complement the cherry, blackcurrent, cedar and creamy vanilla oak flavours. Great from start to finish! On sale for $20 so Highly Recommended!!!

Terredora Di Paolo Loggia Della Serra Greco Di Tufo 2014, Docg
Campania, Italy$19.95
Zesty, lemony and fresh. This would taste so much better if I were drinking it by the Mediterranean Sea. Drinking this in cold Canadian weather just doesn't do it justice.

Oban 14 Yo Highland Scotch Single Malt
Scotland, World$170.15
I really love this Scotch b/c it has a little bit of everything - sweet malt, oak, honey but with smoke and sea salt. All the flavors some how stick out individually making this whisky super complex and delicious. The finish could be a bit smother, but hey I'm just looking for reasons to not rate this perfect.

Bonacchi Brunello Di Montalcino 2010
Tuscany, Italy$36.95
Sandalwood and cherries. Beautiful fine tannins. Burns like a shot of whiskey. I wouldn't say this is a classic example as it lacks earthiness.

Flat Rock The Rusty Shed Chardonnay 2011, VQA Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$24.95
This has become my go to chardonnay. As David points out, it really offers a little bit of everything. It's creamy and buttery with tropical fruit and exotic wood-smoke spice notes. A creamy texture on the palate that is balanced with freshness on the finish. This is a real complete Chardonnay the bridges together warm and cool climate styles.

Guenoc Cabernet Sauvignon 2010, Lake County
California, Usa$19.95
A nice dry structured Cabernet, not jammy at all. This is one for the decanter. Dark roast coffee, cassis, blackberry herbal tea. Nice grip to the finish. Tasted the 2010...If you're a Cab fan buy a case, for $20 bucks it's amazing. send me a comment - look up my website www.niagarawinevideos.com
