La Gravette De Certan 2009, Ac Pomerol, 2nd Wine Of Vieux Château Certan

No dispute with the experts....ZERO buyer's remorse....tried it with grilled beef tenderloin...superb.

Le Clos Jordanne Le Clos Jordanne Vineyard Chardonnay 2009, Twenty Mile Bench, VQA Niagara Peninsula

Full malo and sensible oaking give this the easy going buttery 'chard appeal' that was destroyed by the zealots in the 90's.
Excellent value; a Chard that defines why people went buttery-oak in the first place...without the excess of a craze out-of-control.

Delicious and perfect example of why Chards were king in the 80s and 90s (before the over-the-toppers killed it).

Think 'Nights on Broadway' smooth and classy before disco killed everything and you have this wine.

Domaine Bouchard Père & Fils Ancienne Cuvée Carnot Volnay Caillerets Premier Cru 2008

A bit young, but has everything I like in a red burg...will cellar the rest.
Might seem pricey, but there are local PNs at the same price point that do not come 'clos' (pun intended...).
Purchased via Vintages online...no idea if there are any left.

Storybook Mountain Mayacamas Range Napa Estate Zinfandel 2009, Napa Valley

A Zin to make me stop hating Zins.

The pros say it...agree w DL that 2014 might make it even smoother.

Château Fonplégade 2008, Ac St émilion, Grand Cru Classé

This is very very good...what every premium Merlot should aspire to.
I wish I waited for a few years to let the tannins mellow, but I couldn't resist trying after reading the praise.
Now I have to scoop a few of the 125 left at the LCBO and ignore them for a while.

Norman Hardie County Unfiltered Pinot Noir 2010, VQA Prince Edward County

Bonus point because this wine EXCEEDS the expectations created by the professional reviews.
Fresh, perfectly structured, delicious!
The bottle vanished once the tasting started.

Buy a bunch...good luck holding on to them since it drinks wonderfully now!

Fonterutoli Chianti Classico 2009

Agree w everybody. Wow :)

Lasagna is in the oven...this bottle might be 'too good' for it but will be served. .

Very nice Chianti.

Domaine Michel Caillot Meursault 2009, Ac

Agree w JS's note.

The buttery evolution in the glass was irresistable

Louis M. Martini Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007, Napa Valley

John, Sara and Evan describe my experience.
Very nice Cab; I would buy again (but it appears to be sold out).

Southbrook Canadian Framboise (375ml)

Sweet, but the raspberry flavour is irresistible. A sip of this makes a nice dessert (period).
