Mulderbosch Faithful Hound 2015, Wo Western Cape

Here's a naïve question: this very good Brodeaux style blend comes all the way from South Africa, and yet it is priced much cheaper than an equivalent local Ontario red blend, why?

Westmount Pinot Noir 2015, Willamette Valley

When I use words like sweet, juicy, or fruity, it is usually to describe a wine a did not particularly like. Not this time. This is a fairly refined Pinot Noir, at a very reasonable price, and charming in its sweet, juicy and fruity ways.

Domaine Barou Cuvée Des Vernes Syrah 2016, Collines Rhodaniennes

Cascina Castlet Litina Barbera D'Asti Superiore 2016, D.O.C.G.

Clos Bel-air 2016, Ac Montagne Saint émilion

This is what I call "a find"! Less than $25 for a very delectable Right Bank Bordeaux, with all the charm (lovely dark fruit, smooth tannins, notable length) that you would encounter in way (and I mean WAY) more expensive options from neighbouring areas.
Top value Claret!

Vino Lauria Nerello Mascalese 2017

Château Moulin De Grenet 2016, Ac Lussac Saint émilion

Villa Calcinaia Cappone Chianti Classico 2016

Gilvesy Bohém 2017, Lake Balaton

Tenuta Di Vignole Chianti Classico 2015

A Chianti Classico with a very strong presence, it stands up with fuller mouthfeel than you would expect. It is very drinkable, and should pair nicely with your seasonal BBQ fare.
