Castillo De Monseran Garnacha 2010, Carinena

Tasted August 2011. Very rich dark fruit flavours with a hint of mint. Great value.

De Bortoli Db Reserve Pinot Noir 2008, South Eastern Australia

Tasted July 2011. A solid pinot for the price.

Two Hands Gnarly Dudes Shiraz 2009, Barossa Valley, South Australia

Tasted May 2012. Very sweet and smooth with a little tannin kick at the end with a hint spices. Dominated by rich dark fruit flavours of ripe plum, currant and tart blueberries which continue through a nice long finish. A very easy Shiraz to quaff at an ungentlemanly pace.

Ca' Dei Mandorli Dei Giari Moscato D'asti 2011, Docg, Piedmont, Italy

Joseph Cattin Muscat 2009, Ac Alsace

Tasted April 2012. A medium bodied white with light acid and delicate floral and mineral notes wrapped in a quiet sweetness. A fairly straight forward white that is very pleasant from nose to finish.

Perrin Réserve 2009, Ac Côtes Du Rhône

Tasted Jan 2012. A nice soft cherry forward wine with some spice to it. Enjoyed it even more the second day as it took on a bit of earthy subtleness to it. Excellent GSM blend for the price.

Campo Viejo Reserva 2006, Rioja

Just a solid go to Rioja that many friends and family have enjoyed over the years.

Chemin De Terre 2006, Oregon

Tasted Nov. 2012. Very light and clean taste of fresh cherries and blackberries with almost a hint of mint and spice. Like an artisan mixed berry jam without the sweetness. A surprisingly nice blend at a very reasonable price.

Henry Of Pelham Pinot Grigio 2010, VQA Niagara Peninsula

Tasted Sept 2012. Crisp floral nose with sweet citrus gives way to a subdued Asian pear and something akin to water chestnut or jicama on the palate. Very nice everyday white.

Grooner Grüner Veltliner 2010, Niederosterrich

Tasted Aug 2012. A nice change of pace for our usual white. Fresh and zesty, but with nice hint of white pepper or something. Great white for a party with cheese and other finger foods.
