Ondarre Reserva 2008, Doca Rioja
Rioja, Spain$19.95
This is a classic Rioja that charms you with old world earthy notes, cedar, leather and spicy cherries. Medium bodied and with super fine tannins. A absolutely amazing wine for the price.
Pirramimma Petit Verdot 2006, Mclaren Vale
South Australia, Australia$24.95
amazing stuff. really if you like big fruit bombs, but with structure, all of Pirramimma's wines are amazing.
Casas Del Bosque Gran Reserva Syrah 2012, Casablanca Valley
Casablanca Valley, Chile$22.95
Rich, smooth & packed with flavour! Reminds me of Syrah from Washington. Yes, I'd buy it again!
Bonterra Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, Mendocino County
California, Usa$19.95
Bordeaux qualities - a little un-refined and sharp/ tannic...but well made. Cherry, Cassis, blueberry, saw dust
Norman Hardie County Pinot Noir 2009, VQA Prince Edward County, Unfiltered
Ontario, Canada$39.00
Great Pinot nose that offers cherries, vanilla oak with hints of earth. Light bodied and elegant but with noticeable fine tannins. Nice tension on the palate between sweet cherries and sour cranberries. Finishes dry and tart with nice mouth watering acidity.

Michael David Chardonnay 2013, Lodi
California, Usa$22.95
Oak, banana cream pie, light caramel & coconut. This is a delicious wine and very easy to drink. It's balanced enough to please wine snobs....like me.
Nobilo Icon Pinot Noir 2013, Marlborough, South Island
Marlborough, New Zealand$24.75
By Marlborough standards, this is very lean. It reminds me of Niagara actually. There's lots of Pinot character - cherry, vanilla, hints of cola, smoke and wet earth. It's crisp and dry. A lovely little Pinot at a fair price.
Westcott Vineyards Reserve Chardonnay 2013, VQA Vinemount Ridge
Ontario, Canada$29.00
This is a big rich expressive chardonnay. California comes to mind. Nice job!
Palazzo Maffei Ripasso Valpolicella Superiore 2011, Doc
Veneto, Italy$18.95
92 % of love in this bottle. A real Iodine body makes this drink like cough syrup. Packed with herbs and medicinal qualities. Smells like tree bark and tastes like a chocholate cake. Who wouldn't want this at their party...
Brancaia Tre 2007, Igt Toscana
Tuscany, Italy$23.95
Not much going on at all. Thin and sharp, weak in quality. Just nothing to get excited about. Opened with friends to impress them...what a let down. Was JS smoking cigars when he selected this for WS top 10? disappointed with this wine.
