Grace Lane Riesling 2013, Yakima Valley
Washington, Usa$11.25
This was really lovely. A well integrated white with a very balanced flavour profile. Not too crisp, but very refreshing. This paired well with Indian food. I would easily purchase this wine again.
Cesari Mara Valpolicella Ripasso 2013, Veneto
Veneto, Italy$19.95
A fine ripasso, very smooth with a slight raisin flavour mixed with some oak spices. It just didn't have the peppery notes or power expected. Picked up on sale at the LCBO for $14.95...a good deal.
Domaine De Bila Haut Occultum Lapidem 2013, Ac Côtes De Roussillon Villages Latour De France
Languedoc, France$26.95
Boutari Naoussa Xinomavro 2013, Naoussa
Naoussa, Greece$11.75
Very dry, living up to it's name of "black acid". Definitely needs to be paired with something fatty to eat.
Vila Regia 2014
Douro, Portugal$8.95
Bought this to try due to the price, and the bonus air miles. It is, unsurprisingly, not a complex wine. There are cherry and strawberry aromas, and the length is quite short. On its own it is forgettable, but it can service quite well with spicy food and would probably make a great sangrilla
