A 2017 Sangratino from Australia. Pinot like with an earthy, stewed rhubarb, hint of fennel nose, sour cherry palate and a bit peppery on the initial approach. Cloudy, unfiltered. We had it chilled and paired it with a spicy prawn puttanesca pasta. — 8 days ago

Super funky rosé, almost orange in colour, tastes like classy pink juice that went to art school and listens to techno. Nose is fresh strawberries, currants and grapefruit. Palate is tart cherry, orange peel and sour candies. — 3 months ago

Cherry cola, plum and baking spice with a hint of green pepper. Bold with a nice balance of vegetal notes combined with something approximating a date square. Paired with braised beef short rib in a balsamic reduction with truffled celeriac purée at Barocco in Montreal Canada. — 2 months ago

We picked up this little French gem and chilled it before serving. It’s ruby coloured with a nose of ripe red fruit and violets. The palate has flavours of strawberry and cherry with a touch of spice from the syrah, soft smooth tannins. — 8 months ago

Outstanding. We picked this up at a new French restaurant where the owner is also importing small batch wines from friends and family in Provence. This wine is complex with melon and pineapple on the nose and a unique minerality and a creamy yeasty lemon curd. Loved it. — 3 months ago

9.1

A classic Viognier, very crisp with peach being the prominent aroma, along with tropical fruits and a hint of honeysuckle or citrus blossom - there might also be a subtle dill scent in there. The palate is complex with medium body and medium acidity with slightly yeasty and creamy notes. We paired with Nova Scotian scallops for on a bed of creamy, oozy lemon fennel risotto. A wonderful wine a food evening. — 8 months ago
