The Little Grape that Could Cabernet Sauvignon – LCBO 277020 – $11.95 – When I opened this bottle I was pleasantly surprised with a very fruity aroma. This is very differetn from the usual Ontario Cabernet’s that I recommend. This is a medium bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with very strong jammy fruit flavours. You will find things like Raspberry and Plum and a nice pleasant lingering aftertaste. This is a very easy drinking, unsophisticated Red. But wine doesn’t always have to be fancy does it?
The Little Grape that Could Torrontés – LCBO 274738 – $11.95 – This is an interesting white, it has a nice balance in flavour and acidity and is very dry. However like most wines I say are food Friendly the flavours don’t linger on the palette too long. My food pairing for this was accidental. I opened the wine late in the afternoon to make my notes, I was a little more rushed than normal in making my impressions of the wine and I was cooking perogies for supper. Torrontés and Fried Perogies… who knew? That being said… this wine is very versatile and will pair up with many dishes.
