May 2023.....had with chicken thighs, was ok, a bit thin and lacking rich flavour in my opinion, but for Cab franc and for under $20, pretty good value and very drinkable.

Only have one left....bet I gave 2 away because doubt I would have drank one yet with other vintages still in cellar....darn!
December 2021....with Duff's wings. Still love this wine, great flavour, great value. Consistently good, year after year. Neighbourhood Zoom night, ended up drinking 2/3 of a bottle (felt it next morning). Noticed that it improved after about 15 minutes aeration. No reason I wouldn't keep buying this wine other than expanding horizons. (91)

Descendientes De J. Palacios Pétalos 2015, Do Bierzo
Galicia, Spain$24.95
2020+2021
Xmas 2021....gift to Ann & George
Jan 2022.....had with several WeCook meals (pork souvlaki, lamb ratatouille, buffalo meat balls), went well with all of them. Not the highest rated vintage of late but still a very satisfying wine. This wine has become a staple in my cellar, both Chris & I consistently enjoyed it over the years. Even though I am cutting back, if 90 or above I'm buying at least one.

Jovino Pinot Noir 2014, Willamette Valley
Oregon, Usa$22.95
2020
May 2020.....really enjoyed this wine, it was light, crisp, smooth & savoury. Had with salmon melt. Would go with just about anything I suspect. Fantastic sipper too. What a great value as well. Should have bought more. (90)

Southern Right Pinotage 2015, Hemel En Aarde
Walker Bay, South Africa$34.95
2020+2021
per JS, give it another year or 2 (fall 2018 to 2019) how long it will last I don't know but Mike says to 2021
April 2021....with steak....fantastic! Appreciated its uniqueness and unusual flavour profile. Went very well with bbq steak. Drink second one at end of 2021
bbq season. Could go another year(?) but why take a chance.
January 2023....had Saturday night at the kids'. Don't recall the meal but do recall how enjoyable it was and Crystal liked as well. Pretty sure we polished off the entire bottle in that one sitting.
