Vadio Tinto 2012, Doc Barraida
Bairrada, Portugal$19.25
Was expecting so much based on the expert reviews and was somewhat disappointed. At times over the ring the Vadio was distinctly soupy and raisined. For the money, I would avoid it.

M. Chapoutier Les Vignes De Bila Haut Côtes De Roussillon 2015, Ac
Languedoc, France$15.95
What an excellent wine for the money! I agree with Mr. Lawrence, the 2015 vintage is superior to to the bracketed vintages. Superb value for such an intriguing flavour profile at this price point. We stocked-up and will be enjoying this one through 2018.

Renato Ratti Ochetti Langhe Nebbiolo 2015, Doc
Piedmont, Italy$23.95
Superb. Complex and truly enjoyable with all the flavours described by the experts. Intriguing, full of unique flavours and not overpowering. Definitely one to grab in multiples.

Parfum De Schistes Faugères 2016, Ap
Languedoc, France$18.25
Superb product for those who are lovers of wines from the SW of France. Terrific fruit on the nose and palate with great spice; a real pleasure. Highly recommended. Excellent buy especially when it went on sale at our local LCBO.

Oak Bay Pinot Noir 2019, BC VQA Okanagan Valley
British Columbia, Canada$21.95
Awkwardly disappointing flavour; very light on the fruit with a distinctive tannic seam. You get what you pay for - $20 Pinot. Not recommended.

Jim Barry The Lodge Hill Shiraz 2018, Clare Valley
South Australia, Australia$18.75
Not a fan of this one. For my palate, too much chocolate and vanilla and not enough fruit. For the price, Folklore Shiraz is a better buy with a more vibrant flavour profile.

Viña Casablanca Itera Seaside Journey 2021, Sustainable, Chile
Chile$21.95
Couldn't agree more with Mr. Lawrason on this wine. What a surprise and a delight. It is light with all of the typicity one would expect from a Pinot Noir - juicy and vibrant with lots of fruit on the palate. Great for those meals that require a Pinot and at this price, you can't loose.
