-can't remember 1st one ( likely 2017)
- hostess gift to Rona Thanksgiving 2018
December 2021....worried I might be late with this one but it was fine. Possibly past its peak, missing some freshness perhaps, but smooth and satisfying all the same. Had with cabbage rolls, went well. This wine is surely in my 'favorites' column, consistently good year after year.

both LCBO and Wine Align advertise as a 2017 but is actually a 2018?? Whats more, in the past I've purchased either a 2014 or 2015, which I liked and it no longer appears in their history??
Dec 2020....Xmas gift to Kim & Kelley
October 2021....for Thanksgiving. Went well enough with our turkey thighs and roasted vegetables. A bold, rich and dark wine with exotic and smokey flavour. Smooth enough to enjoy as a sipper but better with food. First sip Crystal had had since her pregnancy with Auston, she said it was heavenly! (90)

Jean Max Roger Cuvée La Grange Dîmière Sancerre Rouge 2015, Ac
Loire, France$29.95
2021+2022+2023++?
September 2021....with salmon melts. Perhaps a bit austere for this entree. Salmon better suited for for a softer and fruitier PN. This has strong flavour and a stony tartness, with a touch of bitterness. Perhaps better with a red meat of some kind (pork, shepherds pie, hamburger etc...). Will be interesting to taste in another year from now.
July 2022..beautiful! Smooth, delicate, delicious. Had with roast salmon. Perfect right now....drink last one in next 6 months.

Wynns Coonawarra Estate Shiraz 2008, Coonawarra, South Australia
Australia$22.95
didn't even know I had....drank Mar 1 2019 with lamb shanks (yum)....it was full flavoured and tasty but carries that typical aussie alcohol burn that I have come to dislike over time....90 max...would not buy this one again except I just did (2016)....lets hope things have changed which I believe they have with Australian reds
