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!

Malivoire Albert's Honour Old Vines Foch 2010, VQA Ontario
Ontario, Canada$24.95
Great nose - woodsy caramel notes, blubbery pie, and smoky campfire. The palate is packed with flavour with a silky smooth texture. This is on par with HOP's Baco Reserve...Hybrids really seem to work well in Ontario's climate.

Carpineto Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano Riserva 2008, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$29.95
Cherry, pipe tobacco, woodsmoke, structured with grippy tannins. There's a little citrus that shows up as well. I don't love this wine, however it's definitely nice.

Señorío De P. Peciña Crianza 2011, Doca Rioja
Rioja, Spain$21.95
Classic Rioja, but with a velvety smoothness. Spicy cherries, tobacco, smoke with hints of earthy barnyard. For a Crianza, this is incredibly impressive. Highly Highly recommended.

Mont Tauch Le Tauch Fitou 2010
Languedoc, France$19.95
I really enjoyed the suave texture of this Syrah/Carignan/Grenache blend. Balance and structure hold up throughout. The flavours need more time to develop, as it's little shy on fruit at the moment. But superb quality for the price.

Montecillo Rioja Gran Reserva 2001, Doca
Spain$31.95
Personally, I don't find a huge difference from the Reserva (on a good vintage year). I love the classic Rioja qualities of Montecillo...Spiced cherries, barn yard, herbs, cedar and smoke.

Planets De Prior Pons 2008, Doq Priorat
Priorat, Spain$22.95
The nose is impressive , providing fascinating whiffs of brown sugar, lavender, blueberry pie and cola. It's strong, structured & finishes with hits of chocolate/ truffle and stony minerality.

Palazzo Maffei Ripasso Valpolicella Superiore 2011, Doc
Veneto, Italy$18.95
92 % of love in this bottle. A real Iodine body makes this drink like cough syrup. Packed with herbs and medicinal qualities. Smells like tree bark and tastes like a chocholate cake. Who wouldn't want this at their party...

Vineland Estates Elevation St. Urban Riesling 2011, VQA Niagara Escarpment, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$19.95
A gorgeous perfumed nose of orange blossom, peaches, lemon/lime, white flowers & white musk. It's off dry adding a nice peachy-sweetness to the mix, but ample acid to balance this delicious beauty. It’s a luxurious wine that really charms & relaxes you.
