Xavier Vignon Côtes Du Rhône 2020, Ap
Rhône, France$18.95
David’s comment sums this up well; medium weight, easy drinking, and juicy. Very enjoyable desistir the 14.5 alcohol.

Kutjevo Grasevina 2021, Danube Kutjevo Vineyard, Slavonia
Croatia$16.95
A very assertive wine with a dry, if a little rough, finish. Good acidity. Would definitely buy again.

Evel Tinto 2017, Doc
Douro, Portugal$14.95
No great complexity but perfect poise and balance if you like acidity, granite and tannins. Which is why I love Portuguese wines!

Werner Anselmann Gewürztraminer Kabinett 2019, Prädikatswein
Pfalz, Germany$17.95
I usually find Gewurtz overpowering and tend to avoid, but really liked this example, which was imposed on me by the spouse. Sometimes he has good taste..
Not cloying at all.

13th Street Burger Blend Red, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$15.95
Very light and simple. I don’t know how you could get to a 92 rating. but enjoyable for what it is.
BTW: this isn’t what I would match with burger. not hefty enough to match with burger condiments.

Estancia Los Cardones Anko Torrontés 2019, Valle De Cafayate, Valles Calchaquíes, Salta
Cafayate Valley, Argentina$13.75
Nobody has mentioned that Torrontes can sometimes taste a bit “soapy”, and this one had flashes of it. Still, I really liked it, for all the reasons outlined by David.

Fabrègues Sélection Picpoul De Pinet 2020, Ap Picpoul De Pinet
Languedoc, France$16.95
I’ll go with the consensus on this one. 89 is an average of the 4 critic reviews. Has a slight bitterness, but that isn’t a bad thing. Went well with, and in, pasta carbonara.

Cave Spring Dry Rosé 2020, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$15.95
Very tart, dry and refreshing, with a hint of spritz. I am not finding the density of flavour noted by Steve above. but it is very clean.

Maria Papoila Loureiro/Alvarinho 2021, Doc Vinho Verde
Vinho Verde, Portugal$18.95
I can’t believe how complex and powerful this is. So much energy - very mineral and tart but also sumptuous. I’ve never had a vinho verde quite as good as this.
