Creekside Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2007, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$34.95
This is a spectacular Cabernet from a stellar vintage in Niagara. Bing cherries, blueberries, cassis, pipe tobacco and vanilla oak, all in balance. Beautiful dusty tannins allow for a nice full bodied experience. Terrific finish. Pairs great with a juicy steak.

Creekside Estate Cabernet Shiraz 2011, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$10.15
Great quality for price! 2011 vintage offers a real freshness – Fresh sour cherries, sweet pipe tobacco with hints of smoky vanilla oak. Stays lean with fine grained (grippy) tannins. This will really show well in a couple years, so tuck some away in the cellar.

Château La Fleur Grands Landes Fleures Carrere 2010, Ac Montagne Saint émilion
Bordeaux, France$11.75
Roasted/ stewed cherries and char with some sour notes on the nose. Very inviting. the palate is plagued by astringent notes and tartness. Interesting but not that enjoyable right now. needs 3-5 years to calm down.

Domaine De L'echelette Mâcon Cruzille 2010
Burgundy, France$14.25
Medium creamy oak with peach blossom, caramelized apples and honey suckle all in a subtle fashion. It's a graceful chardonnay that won't step on anybody's toes.

Kew Soldier's Grant 2011, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$18.95
Not a big wine, but Cab fans will appreciate it's flavor complexities. I think David's tasting notes are spot on. I like the 2012, it is available at the winery.

Folie à Deux Chardonnay 2011, Russian River Valley, Sonoma County
California, Usa$21.95
A tasty number for the price. A little woodsy but not a total turn off. Ripe and just smooth enough to become loveable.
