Organic Opulence

This Malbec is the latest recommendation I had at the liquor store. I have to give the worker credit, he knows his stuff. Very smooth and satisfying. 12.95/bottle

Heck of a Wine

At dinner tonight, the ladies indulged in a bottle of 2006 Hess Collection Chardonnay. There is no doubt that this is one of my new favourite whites. I love an oaked wine and the fruity flavours of this one, combined with the oakiness, have my tastebuds wrapped around it's...well, entire bottle. $35-40/bottle

YUM.

My father-in-law brought Jacob's Creek Shiraz Cabernet over after dinner tonight. A great blend and easy to drink. Not too hard on the wallet, either! $15/bottle

Cheapskate

This wine (provided by Miss Christine) was fabulous. Fruity and delicious. A great way to top of dinner at the Keg!

This year, I want to try:

Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz, South Australia, 2005



Mission Hill 'Quatrain', Okanagan Valley BC, 2005

Campo di Sasso "Insoglio del Cinghiale" IGT, Bibbona Italy, 2006

Sexxy Syrah

Whilst at Salt, Jenni and I discovered Sandhill Syrah. If you're into smooth wines, I wouldn't rec this one, but its youthful tannins are spicy and a great match for red meat. $35/bottle (restaurant)

Umani Ronchi Medoro Marche Sangiovese. Blackberry, Plum and red fruits. Even to this fan of Spicy wines, a great taste! $14/bottle
