Proudly from Ontario!

Amazing example of Vidal Ice wine!

Finish is soft, long and delicious.


 

Jackson-Triggs Entourage Methode Classique Sparkling Brut 2007

It was a lovely sparkling. Bubbles disappeared very fast. Nose wasn’t very pronounced. Some stone fruit, toast.

On the palate it wasn’t really Brut for my taste, I would say off dry.

Stone fruit on the palate with touch of citrus.

It was nice with Canadian cheese.

Bordeaux-Left Bank

France

$21.95 at LCBO

Very elegant aged Bordeaux. A pleasure to drink.

Garnet in the glass,dark red core with brownish rim.

Beautiful, deep nose offers notes of cassis, dried fruit, leather, black pepper.

The palate is dry, medium bodied with a firm structure from very balanced tannins and fresh acidity. Flavors of the nose replaying on the palate dark berries, dried cherries, herbal notes, berry pie.

The finish is lovely and long. exciting because of its age.
