Jean Maurice Raffault Chinon Blanc 2019, A.O.C. Chinon

Ferraris Sant’eufemia Ruchè Di Castagnole Monferrato 2017, Docg

Well, this is new to me, so fragrant, floral, yet with complexity in its flavour profile, what an interesting experience tasting this ruchè! I enjoyed it very much.

Mateus Nicolau De Almeida Eremitas Antao Do Deserto 2017

Tessari Grisela Soave Classico 2017, Veneto

A beauty, an absolute beauty. and, mind you, I very rarely get this excited with a Soave.

Chateau Du Moulin à Vent Couvent Des Thorins 2016, Moulin à Vent

Sometimes it is all about the pairing, the company, the moment. Midweek, at home, made a magret de canard, paired it with this very delectable gamay, and my wife and I just loved it.

Château De Montfaucon Baron Louis Lirac 2015, Ap

I spent all afternoon on Sunday cooking a cassoulet... when choosing which wine I'd open I came across this Côtes du Rhône in my newly arrived Wine Exchange shipment, and driven by impulse rather than thought I opened it. It paired very nicely. This CdR greets you with a predominantly red fruit nose, has lovely acidity in the palate, and a depth and length that you would expect to find in a much higher priced Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Creation Syrah Grenache 2017, Walker Bay

Château Haut La Greniere Lussac Saint Emilion 2015

Domaine Dozon Clos Du Saut Au Loup Chinon Rouge 2017, Monopole, Ac Chinon

Very distinct acidity and characteristic hints of both red strawberry and red pepper. Textbook Chinon from the Val de Loire. Very drinkable, paired with a magret.

Hermanos Peciña Señorío De P. Peciña Tinto Crianza 2013

This Crianza has all the charm of a Gran Reserva! Bring on the tapas, splurge on some Iberico ham and Manchego cheese, because this vino is "buy the case" worthy.
