Union Red – LCBO 197152 – $12.95 – This is an excellent medium bodied, easy drinking red. The best thing about this wine is that there is no decanting required, simply open the cap and dive right into this bottle. This is a rainbow of red fruit flavours that play...
Inniskillin Tenacity Red – LCBO 264788 – $13.95 – Inniskillin has thrown their hat into the ring of a long list of wineries releasing “budget” blends. My favorite part of this trend however is seeing different grape combinations that you don’t normally see (a traditional Bordeaux blend is Cabernet Sauvignon,...
2009 Megalomaniac Homegrown Red – LCBO 260364 – $16.95 – Here is another red that just like last week drinks great right out of the bottle. It is a more traditional Bordeaux blend with Cabernet and Merlot, so it feels like I’m getting back to basics after some more interesting...
2008 Kacaba Meritage – LCBO101477 – $16.95 – After several weeks of Red wines that maybe need a push or two to make them over the top good I had to bring it back to simplicity. This is an excellent well rounded red blend that is great right out of...
2010 13th Street Red Palette – Vintages 249458 – $14.95 – I always get excited when you can get something special from the Vintages section under that $20.00 mark. This one is no exception. This wine is a perfect way to experiment with yourself on the effects that air has on...
Union White – LCBO 197145 – $13.95 – While this may not be the perfect match to your Turkey this will be the perfect wine to pair with appetizers or with your dessert. It’s a blend of Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Chardonnay. This wine has very crisp clean flavours...
Inniskillin Barrel Aged Chardonnay – $14.95 – This is a well rounded Chardonnay with a perfect amount of oak. It has a creamy buttery feel on the palette with a bit of acid on the finish so it doesn’t linger in the mouth too long. This is a perfect easy...
2010 Reif Vidal – LCBO 111781 – $9.95 – It is not often that you see Vidal on it’s own in a table wine. A couple weeks ago I recommended the Southbrook Connect White which is also a Vidal. Typically you see the hearty Vidal grape used for Ice Wine,...
2009 Pelee Island Monarch – LCBO 107763 – $10.45 – This is an interesting blend of Baco Noir, Marechal Foch and Zweigelt. Not a very typical combination of grapes. As I aid this morning though this wine is one of the reasons I do my reviews featuring Ontario wines. In...
