Peter Lehmann Riesling 2008, Eden Valley, South Australia

Flat Rock Cellars Pinot Noir Rosé 2009, VQA Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Peninsula

Bellingham Shiraz Viognier 2007

Plums, smokiness, and spice on the nose. Full-bodied wine with a noticeably high alcohol level and lots and lots of fruit. Juicy, but maybe a bit over the top.

Bodega François Lurton Pinot Gris 2009, Uco Valley, Mendoza

Inniskillin Varietal Series Pinot Noir 2009, VQA Niagara Peninsula

Excellent Pinot Noir. Strawberries, herbs, and earthy aromas. Fruity, but with plenty of body.

Errazuriz Estate Chardonnay 2008

Masi Tupungato Passo Doble Malbec Corvina 2007, Mendoza

Viña Zaco Tempranillo 2006, Doca Rioja

Alpine Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2013, Marlborough

Grapefruit, grassiness and spices on the nose. It has crisp acidity and plenty of fruit, but tastes slightly unbalanced.

CedarCreek Gewurztraminer 2013, BC VQA Okanagan Valley

Lychee, honey, and rose petals on the nose. It has plenty of fruit that is balanced well with a crisp acidity. Tastes slightly off-dry.
