2010 Peller Family Series Cabernet Franc – LCBO 582833 – $11.95 – A very good well priced Cabernet Franc from the great 2010 vintage. This wine has a great balance of dark fruit flavours, full of things like Blackberry and Currant. All this is balanced with nice oak flavours and...
As promised I have found some wines that are down in price so why not pick up both this week? The great things about these wines is they are both fantastic value, definitely superior wines for the price. 2009 Sue-Ann Staff Baco Noir – $14.95 – LCBO 260422 – This...
