Closson Chase Chardonnay 2007, VQA Prince Edward County, Closson Chase Vineyard, Unfiltered

Look past the the milk-like appearance and it's one of the most powerful chards to come out of the County. Massive weight and a thick, creamy texture (the winery label reads12.5% but the LCBO-issued sticker says 13.9%) ) set the stage for peach cobbler, buttered popcorn and toasted nuts. Would be a bargain no matter the origin, it's doubly so as a PEC wine. Drink with rich seafood/shellfish, mushroom dishes, and... I'll say it.... cream sauces.

Lazzeretti Brunello Di Montalcino 2004, Docg

Bonny Doon Vineyard Le Cigare Volant Red 2004

Tokara White 2007, Wo Stellenbosch

15% Semillon. Perplexing and complex wine with a spicy Sauvignon-based capsicum nose dulled somewhat by well-judged but heavy oak influence. Yellow fruits with a green edge. 14.5% alcohol is well integrated. Minerality emerges on the long finish with sweet spice throughout and the high acid ensures a few years of interesting drinking. Built for rich seafood pastas with obvious saline influence. Bottles of 2007 Tokara White purchased trough Vintages are sealed by cork (really good ones), not the screwcap shown here.
