Hidden Bench Locust Lane Rosé 2020, VQA Beamsville Bench, Niagara Escarpment

MAY 2023....at Dianne and Nick's place. Best Rose I've ever tasted, absolutely delicious, could drink this all day long, in fact I easily polished off 2/3rds of the bottle. Dry, elegant, flavourful, smooth (no rough edges whatsoever), very satisfying. Worked great with pot luck hors d'ovaries.
Recognizing this was a stellar year, would absolutely consider buying again. (91)

J.L. Chave Sélection Mon Coeur Côtes Du Rhône 2016, Ac
Rhône, France$22.95
(10)*
2018-2021 (2022 max)
CdR meant to be consumed young therefore 2019+2020
xmas 2018....7 were gifted including Mark McKey who really enjoyed it.
Sept/21....had with a hosion beef dish, went just ok. Wine was good, rich, full but flavour wasn't necessarily to my liking on this particular day....perhaps will be better with the right food pairing.
Sept 22....consumed at Smitty's cottage, I warned it might be 'old' but Eric & Dave enjoyed, as did I.
Sept/22....perhaps lucky but was still good, really enjoyed, at home. Was a great buy!

Cesari Mara Valpolicella Ripasso 2016, Veneto
Veneto, Italy$19.95
Thanksgiving 2018....brought to Dave & Rona`s to have with dinner....was quite disappointed given the 90-91 ratings (maybe look at who gave them), seemed soft and unexciting, not the flavour I was looking for....love a good Ripasso but wouldn't buy this again.
