Trius Dry Riesling 2017, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$17.95
This review is for 2018, which is not listed.
Less dry than the Cave Spring dry riesling, and that's fine with me. Crisp and acidic, balancing the sweetness. A little petrol?

Cave Spring Riesling 2017, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$15.95
As expected, a solid Ontario riesling with good acid balance. Well made, as expected from Cave Spring, but doesn't wow.

Ontario, Canada$17.95
Nice. Very subdued with some herbal notes, but still smooth and rounded. Would buy again for sure.

Hardys Stamp Series Chardonnay Semillon 2018, Southeastern Australia
Australia$9.75
Seems round and full to start but dies quickly. No length. A bit lifeless (low acidity?), but not unpleasant and decent value.

Marques D La Concordia Viña Alarde Reserva 2013, Doca Rioja
Rioja, Spain$17.95
Very old school, complex nose. Pronounced sandlewood aromas and quite smooth. But a bit unbalanced, a tad too much acidity and it seems a bit thin in the middle. Not a fruit forward wine.

Sicily, Italy$16.95
Fairly intense, medium-bodied wine with mineral undertone. Somewhat austere and serious. Interesting for sure.

De Angelis Offida Pecorino 2018, Docg
Marche, Italy$13.95
Fantastic value for $14. Michael Godel's notes hit this on the nail. Tastes spritzy but isn't, against a backdrop of limestone. Very fresh.
