What’s not to love? Bubbles and oysters. And this affordable champagne delivers the goods. Nothing short of outstanding. Citrus, some cream and lovely almonds and brioche. — a month ago

A stellar Canadian Riesling. The nose has a subtle hint of petrol and some white flowers, maybe jasmine? Palate is dry with flavours of green apple and lime. Paired with basil, cantaloupe wrapped with salty Speck. — a month ago

Western Cape Sauvignon Blanc Blend

9.0

Paired with scallops we brought along to the cabin. This is a Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin blend from South Africa we had cellared for the last few years. The nose was a bit shy with herbaceous hints but the palate was a wonderful mix of Chenin like quince and honey along with some of the gooseberry typically found in SB. Delicious. — a month ago
