Château Clos De L'oratoire 2009, Ac Saint émilion Grand Cru Classé
Bordeaux, France$68.85
Opaque garnet in colour and slightly maturing. Velvety and full bodied, this wine is beautifully complex showing aromas of smokey spice, black cherry, vanilla, earthiness, dark chocolate and a slight meatiness. The tannins are smooth, chalky and impeccably integrated. The finish seems endless.
Vollenweider Wolfer Goldgrube Riesling Spätlese 2007, Prädikatswein
Mosel, Germany$29.95
bright lemon in colour. Medium sweet with balanced acidity. Floral hints with green bell pepper, apricot and honey. Very light and refreshing, a nice lunch time sipper.
Antolini Ca' Coato Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico 2008, Doc
Veneto, Italy$40.75
This is a perfect winter wine with bone warming heat and a touch of sweetness. The nose is incredibly generous, revealing intriguing aromas of leather, espresso, chocolate, cigar box, vanilla, pruned fruit, fig, exotic spices and damp forest floor. This is a full bodied Amarone with a velvety mouth feel and smooth tannins. The lingering finish seems endless but maybe a tad hot thanks to the 16.5% alcohol. A perfect pairing to a long winters day outside and a slow cooked pot roast. Decanted 6 hours.
Fornacina Brunello Di Montalcino 2007, Brunello Di Montalcino
Tuscany, Italy$50.00
TASTING NOTE: This Brunello offers bright aromas with lively cherry, cola, humus, dark spice and pipe tobacco, as well as savory tones of beef bresaola and even a touch of white peppercorn. Impressive complexity. Elegant and streamlined on the close. Score - 94. (Monica Larner, Wine Enthusiast, May 2012) $43.00
Hecht & Bannier Côtes Du Roussillon Villages 2008, Ac
Languedoc, France$20.25
Light, medium bodied with fresh ripered fruits Ruby colour.
Norman Hardie County Unfiltered Pinot Noir 2010, VQA Prince Edward County
Ontario, Canada$39.00
Charles Baker Picone Vineyard Riesling 2010
Ontario, Canada$37.20
A very dry and bright Riesling sourced solely from chef Mark Picone's Vinemount Ridge Sub-Appellation. Notes of petrol, lime, honey and minerality. Medium-high acidity with a bright zesty long finish. Best white wine I've tasted from Ontario thus far.
