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.

Bel Echo Pinot Noir By Clos Henri 2012
Marlborough, New Zealand$22.95
Lots of "Pinot Personality" beaming out of the Bel Echo. After decanting for an hour, the heat blows off and the flavours develop nicely. Interesting notes of ripe cherry, smoked meat, viola petals, camp fire, sugar plums and spice. Pretty awesome for the price!

Achaval Ferrer Malbec 2011, Mendoza
Mendoza, Argentina$25.95
The nose is seductive - perfume like offering fresh cherries, violets and rose petals, herbal cough syrup, mint, cherry-chocolates and more. Very seductive. The palate is smooth and creamy with super fine tannins. It has a long herbal induced finish. Punches way above the price!

Kenwood Jack London Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2010, Sonoma Mountain
California, Usa$39.95
Great tannin structure reminds me of Bordeaux or even the Bella Terra wines from Pondview Winery in the Niagara Region. Finesse instead of jammy. Hints of smoky oak and vanilla-nail polish on the finish. Nice wine with some tension that drinks well now. Not a blockbuster at all, something tells me even California is changing their ways.

Closson Chase Vineyard Chardonnay 2014, VQA Prince Edward County
Ontario, Canada$29.95
This wine is all about lemon butter. It's lean not fat and fresh and light instead of heavy. Shows woodsy vanilla on the nose with pure lemon juice and lemon butter on the palate. Did I mention lemon...yes very lemony.

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.

Ken Forrester Reserve Chenin Blanc 2012, Wo
Stellenbosch, South Africa$19.85
Some nice lush fruit and oaky honey dew to this wine but the finish is a tad short and finished with a sea salt taste. Some people may dig that, but it didn't really tickle my fancy...nice wine though.
