Love this wine. Full bodied, but no bitterness. Clean and crisp.

Domaine De Fabrègues Le Mas 2016, Ap Pézenas
Languedoc, France$18.95
This didn’t really work for me. Hard, angular, and bruising. Definitely needs decanting. It comes across as almost bitter, but the high alcohol gives an initial impression of sweetness. Wouldn’t buy again.

Château Des Charmes St. David's Bench Vineyard Gamay Noir Droit 2015, VQA St. David's Bench
Ontario, Canada$15.75
Interestingly, I enjoyed this wine more on day two. Very juicy and delicious. Nice finish, a bit dusty, and light to medium weight.

Maker's Mark Kentucky Bourbon
Kentucky, Usa$46.25
I am pleased to see other reviewers here dumping on Maker's Mark. I have always found it harsh and unpleasant, yet it seems to be generally well regarded. Not for me.

Flat Rock Chardonnay 2016, VQA Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Escarpment
Ontario, Canada$19.95
This is electricity in a glass. Clear evidence of oak, but combined with good acidity, all in balance, make this a wonderful wine.

Malivoire Wine Ladybug Rosé 2017, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$16.95
Quite substantial. Not particularly fruity. Good acidity and dry. Nice to have a solid Ontario rose that you can rely on.

Bouchard Père & Fils Mâcon Lugny Saint Pierre 2015
Burgundy, France$21.95
Really, a perfectly balanced wine. Remarkably unobtrusive and poised. Full-bodied, but not assertively so. Enough acidity but you don't notice it. A wallflower, but competently so. Offers something for everyone. Somebody making this wine knew what they were doing.
