Grand Vin De Glenelly Red 2009, Wo Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch, South Africa$19.95
Tight tannins, complex flavours, however I found the acid too high, so a tad off balance in my opinion. Acidheads will rejoice.

Tawse Quarry Road Chardonnay 2011, VQA Vinemount Ridge, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$34.95
Love Tawse Chards tasted this one at the winery beside the 2010 vintage, and i think i prefer the 2010. it was a fuller wine with smoother edges and a creaminess to it.

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!!!

Norman Hardie Unfiltered Niagara Pinot Noir 2010, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$39.00
Nice smoky, meaty notes that mingle with cherry-tobacco and raspberry with hints of minerality. It stays lean with pronounced acidity and finishes with perfect structure. Needs about three years to round out. This was my runner-up, for the best Pinot of 2013! See the video review at www.niagarawinevideos.com

Brancaia Tre 2007, Igt Toscana
Tuscany, Italy$23.95
Not much going on at all. Thin and sharp, weak in quality. Just nothing to get excited about. Opened with friends to impress them...what a let down. Was JS smoking cigars when he selected this for WS top 10? disappointed with this wine.

Hartley Ostini Hitching Post Cork Dancer Pinot Noir 2009, Santa Barbara County
California, Usa$27.00
Did I mention how Awesome WineAlign is, I just love this website. Anyway's, it's a relaxing moody Sideways Sunday that calls for a Hitching Post Pinot. It's my first, and I gotta say, its fresher than what i was expecting. This is why I think Niagara is still really so undiscovered...it reminds me of a Niagara Pinot, juicy and full of flavour, but balanced and really fresh and grippy. Well made and perfect for any mood - rainy or sunny outside, this is a pinot that slowly works itself into your life.

Borgogno Langhe Freisa 2012, Doc
Piedmont, Italy$21.95
This is a charming little wine. I love the old school label. It's charming because it's light bodied but packs incredible structure and finesse. There's hints of sweet cherries, herbs and tobacco. I loved the grippy fresh finish!

Sister's Run Epiphany Shiraz 2008, Mclaren Vale, South Australia
South Australia, Australia$16.95
As Gary Vee says "Oak Monster" Australian makeup fruit bomb - meets herbaceous inspired Rioja. Not a serious wine but a definite pleasure seeker. Love'n this bombastic lip stick wine!

Falernia Reserva Carmenère 2007, Elqui Valley
Elquí Valley, Chile$19.95
wow...really the best carmenere i've tasted! so concentrated you think your drinking vicks cherry cough syrup. It's packed with sweet cherry, herb/ medicinal/ roasted jalapeno peppers flavour. needs time to soften, but then it's rich and silky smooth. GREAT FIND!
