Calamus 2008 Cosmic Red – VINTAGES 258129 – $17.95 – Calamus has once again created an excellent Red Blend. Typical of the other 2008 Cabernets I have reviewed this is a very fruit forward wine. But as with any of the wines I highly recommend this is all about balance. ...
2008 Rosehall Run Cold Creek Cabernet Franc – VINTAGES 149039 – $22.95 – I have raved about the Southbrook Triomphe Cabernet Franc for it’s value and this Wine would make an excellent dance partner if you want to see two different sides to the same grape variety, but different region...
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...

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...
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...
