1st<\/sup> Bottle<\/strong><\/td>\nCave De Hoen<\/strong><\/td>\n \"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Varietal: <\/strong>Pinot Gris<\/td>\nWinery\/Producer: <\/strong>Cave De Hoen<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Type: <\/strong>White<\/td>\nYear: <\/strong>2009<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Cost: <\/strong>$16.95<\/td>\nRegion: <\/strong>Alsace, France<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Food to pair<\/strong>: \u849c\u8338\u84b8\u6709\u6bbc\u751f\u8814<\/td>\nLCBO #: <\/strong>196790<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Remarks<\/strong>: Invigorating aromas of honeycomb, mineral, melon and exotic spices on the nose. Well structured, off-dry, round and medium bodied with a pretty fruit core made all the more intriguing by its mushroom and spice accents. Medium-long finish. Enjoy with grilled prawns and a gently spicy sauce. (VINTAGES panel, March 2011)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2nd<\/sup> Bottle<\/strong><\/td>\nDomaine des Ballandors Quincy<\/strong><\/td>\n \"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Varietal:<\/strong> Sauvignon Blanc<\/td>\nWinery\/Producer: <\/strong>Chantal Wilk et Jean Tatin<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Type: <\/strong>White<\/td>\nYear: <\/strong>2008<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Cost: <\/strong>$18.95<\/td>\nRegion: <\/strong>Loire, France<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Remarks<\/strong>: Lightly grassy, with flavours of creamed corn, the wine was mineral and faintly but pleasantly vegetal. Fresh as a mountain stream, it had a wonderfully full and marrowy sur lie texture.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> Bottle<\/strong><\/td>\nCaliterra Tributo<\/strong><\/td>\n \"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Varietal: <\/strong>Carmen\u00e8re<\/td>\nWinery\/Producer: <\/strong>Caliterra<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Type: <\/strong>Red<\/td>\nYear: <\/strong>2009<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Cost: <\/strong>$14.95<\/td>\nRegion: <\/strong>Colchagua Valley, Chile<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Food to pair<\/strong>: \u78a7\u7da0\u6c99\u7239\u96d9\u8106<\/td>\nLCBO #: <\/strong>56630<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Remarks<\/strong>: Caliterra was established in 1996 as a partnership between the Robert Mondavi family and Vi\u00f1a Err\u00e1zuriz. Vi\u00f1a Err\u00e1ruriz acquired the Mondavi share in 2004. The name Caliterra is a combination of the words calidad (quality) and tierra (land). This is a deliciously lush wine with layers of sweet dark fruit, nice structure and a seam of acidity keeping everything in balance.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4th<\/sup> Bottle<\/strong><\/td>\nEtna Rosso<\/strong><\/td>\n \"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Varietal: <\/strong>Nerello Mascalese-Nerello Cappuccio blend<\/td>\nWinery\/Producer: <\/strong>Firriato<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Type: <\/strong>Red<\/td>\nYear: <\/strong>2008<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Cost: <\/strong>$16.95 <\/td>\nRegion: <\/strong>Sicily, Italy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Food to pair<\/strong>: \u8525\u6cb9\u6dcb\u8106\u76ae\u96de<\/td>\nLCBO #: <\/strong>219592<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Remarks<\/strong>: The 2008 Etna Rosso is a wonderful introduction to the wines of the Etna. This Nerello Mascalese-Nerello Cappuccio blend reveals gorgeous, translucent red fruit, flowers and spices in a soft, approachable style that is irresistible. Sweet notes of mint and flowers linger on the elegant finish. The Etna Rosso compares quite favourably with a top-notch villages-level Burgundy \u2013 at a fraction of the price. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2014.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5th<\/sup> Bottle<\/strong><\/td>\nNavarro Correas Alegoria Gran Reserva<\/strong><\/td>\n \"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Varietal: <\/strong>Cabernet Sauvignon<\/td>\nWinery\/Producer: <\/strong>Juan Marco<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Type: <\/strong>Red<\/td>\nYear: <\/strong>2007<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Cost: <\/strong>$19.95<\/td>\nRegion: <\/strong>Mendoza, Argentina<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Food to pair<\/strong>: \u9ed1\u6912\u9e7f\u67f3\u7403<\/td>\nLCBO #: <\/strong>154583<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Remarks<\/strong>: Argentina has more to offer wine lovers than its benchmark Malbec wines. Case in point, Navarro Correas’ winemaker Juan Marco crafts premium-quality wines from Cabernet. With its concentrated, almost tangy blackberry, plum, smoke and vanilla oak flavours, this is a solid wine to enjoy with grilled liver and onions, mushroom risotto or gourmet sausages.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
