big for a niagara pinot, defies the norm. Balanced and structured, silky with good tannins

Rosewood Estates Natural Fermentation Reserve Pinot Noir 2009, VQA Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$39.95
This is a sensational Niagara Pinot! Loads of crème fraiche, sweet maraschino cherries, ripe strawberries and smoky raspberries, with slight earthly undertones. It has extraordinary breadth and depth to the palate, with a long caressing finish. It’s truly one of the most delightful and delicious Pinot Noirs I have ever tasted.

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.

Kistler Les Noisetiers Chardonnay 2012, Sonoma Coast
California, Usa$99.95
ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS WINE!!! Believe it or not this is the entree level Juice...But I prefer it to the single vineyard designations...full, lush, balanced, unfiltered foggy and delicious...there's a feeling that develops within you when drinking this wine...harmony! If I were an Egyptian King, I'd take a bottle of this to the after life.

Socré Barbaresco 2011, Docg
Piedmont, Italy$24.25
I'm going to attempt to describe this wine. Some wines are so excellent it's hard to put it in words. The nose is really interesting - cherry, smoke, charcoal and cigar. The palate has super fine tannins and adds citrus notes (mostly orange peel), orange chocolate, coco dust and cigar on the finish. This is medium bodied and very slick. Worth every penny, probably underpriced at $30. A comparable Gaja would run you over $100 a bottle. Buy as much as you can.

Pondview Bella Terra Pinot Gris 2013, VQA Four Mile Creek
Ontario, Canada$29.95
One of my personal favorites! Pinot Gris is complemented by soft French oak to make a mix of honeydew and vanilla. There’s a hint of earthiness in there as well.

Poliziano Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano 2012, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$31.95
Very nice...but might I say a tad boring. It's too clean for me, no old world Brett imperfections here. Critics may rejoice, but I hope not all old-world wines turn homogenous with modern technology.
