Laurent Perrier Cuvée Brut Rosé Champagne, Ac, France
Champagne, France$114.95
Pleasing and light, this champagne showed notes of ripe strawberries an a hint of citrus. Very easy drinking as it is not as "yeasty" as other champagnes.

Stratus Red 2012, VQA Niagara On The Lake
Ontario, Canada$48.20
Hard to believe that such a good Bordeaux style blend can come from Ontario. A wine that impressed at a "'wine night" with friends. Will buy again from Stratus in the future.

Lovely, balanced Sauternes with notes of honey and dill along with a pleasant earthy note from the botrytis.

Versado Reserva Ancient Malbec 2011, Mendoza
Mendoza, Argentina$59.95
This is a serious Malbec. The fruit forwards elements expected with a Malbec are mingled with cedar, spice and black current flavours. A wine worth savouring, with a very smooth mouthfeel. A truly enjoyable bottle.

Cuvelier Los Andes Grand Malbec 2009, Uco Valley, Mendoza
Mendoza, Argentina$61.95
This is most likely the most impressive and expressive bottle of Malbec I have ever tasted. The nose is full of tart fruit, chocolate and spice and the palette is full, deep and complex. The high alcohol content is paired with a dry finish and robust tannins. This was a massive wine to taste; everyone around the table was amazed by what was in the bottle.
Tasted blind at a Beefsteak & Burgundy Club event, May 2015.
