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.

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.

13th Street Essence Pinot Noir 2010, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$44.95
Big, bold, dark and structured. Offers up rich black cherry, cola & crème brulee. This Pinot needs to rest for several years before it’s flavours and textures can be fully appreciated.
Watch my interview with Jean- Pierre Colas at Cuvee 2013 as he explains his newly found love obsession with Pinot Noir from Niagara.

Lammershoek Roulette Blanc 2010, Wo Swartland
Swartland, South Africa$21.95
Thanks to @winespectator for the first SouthAfrican issue, for otherwise I would not have found this spectacular wine. It's full of tropical fruit, butter and zest...with some sea salts. Layers and layers of complexity. It's balanced with perfect acidity. If I made this wine I would keep it for myself. It's just shy of perfect.

Calera Pinot Noir 2009, Central Coast
California, Usa$31.95
If you're a fan of Pinot Noir this one will sing to you. From the start, the nose offers fresh raspberries, raspberry jam sweet plums, minty greens, with underlying notes of earthy mud & hay. The palate passionately sweeps you off your feet with super silky tannins and mouth feel...so so silky...sweet cheery and cream are present on the palate with just a slight hint of green leaf. Unquestionably beautiful and suave.

La Gerla Brunello Di Montalcino 2009, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$63.95
very elegant. Light bodied and smooth. Cheery and herbs - actually reminds me of a mature cab franc from Niagara.

Pondview Estate Winery Bella Terra Meritage 2010, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$40.15
This Meritage is structured and still very tightly wound. It probably needs a decade of aging before it comes into its prime, much like top notch Bordeaux wines. It offers dense black fruits – blackberry, blackcurrant, black cherry with black tea, tobacco leaf and dark roast coffee or rich espresso. But there’s also a hint of baking spices and herbs such as cinnamon, basil and mint or Eucalyptus. The palate is strong and fresh with gripy tannins. It’s medium to full bodied with a long finish

Colomé Estate Malbec 2013, Calchaquí Valley, Salta
Argentina$24.95
This pours incredibly dark and needs a good hour to decant, but then it opens up with admiral smoky hickory, roasted nuts, vanilla and blackberry notes. The palate is dry and structured showing more scorched earth. Long finish. Wow, what a wine!

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
