Henry Of Pelham Speck Family Reserve Baco Noir 2014, VQA Ontario
Ontario, Canada$24.95
This might be the best bottle of Ontario wine I have ever tasted. It was superbly deep and complex with earthy, blackberry overtones. The length was excellent, and all around the table fought over the last drops in the bottle.

Remo Farina Le Pezze Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico 2012, Docg
Veneto, Italy$37.95
Really quite excellent. Amarones have a tendency to be overly sweet, but this wine was balanced with a nice level of tannins to leave the palette somewhat refreshed and not overwhelmed. A really nice expression of the grapes which made everyone go for another glass.

Paul Hobbs Crossbarn Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, Sonoma County
California, Usa$49.95
The nose on this wine showed some cooler notes, with flavours of licorice and smoke in the background. There was also a bit of a paper-like note that dissipated over time. Overall, a bit unremarkable.
Tasted blind at a Beefsteak & Burgundy Club event, May 2016.
