Château de la Louvière

Pessac-Léognan Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2015

Enjoying some White Bordeaux lately. Previous notes from 10 July, a few months ago still apply. A whiff of passion fruit on this occasion. A creamy textural palate with a touch of pineapple juice on the 2nd night Barbara thought. Back Story: Andre Lurton who bought this property in 1965 is an aficionado of Sauvignon Blanc, and Semillon is very much in the minority in this blend. Usually 85/15. Great match with fresh prawns. One of the 1001 wines. — 5 years ago

Azienda Agricola Le Ragnaie

Miscelone Toscana Rosso Red Blend 2018

The Miscelone from Le Ragnaie is a playful interpretation of a quaffable wine with its integrity intact and a great contrast to our preeminent Brunello producers top range. Sun drenched strawberries, raspberries, orange, fresh herbs, pepper and a garden full of flowers with a savoury almost creamy base note. Fresh acidity on the palate with round edges and a smooth flow across the fruitful palate. Only 12% alcohol so even a lightweight as myself can easily drench the bottle. �Pair it with your Mediterranean salad of choice, grilled vegetables or whatever suits your summer diet. Have your friends nearby and warm summer afternoon that is turning to evening and you’ll be a happy camper. Will be equally pleasurable for both the wine aficionado as the wine hipster.
30% Sangiovese - 20% Trebbiano - 15% Canaiolo - 15% Colorino - 15% Malvasia - 5% Albana. Co-picked and co-fermented red and white grapes, both destemmed and whole clusters, semi carbonic maceration, short elevage and bottled with low sulfur.

Kay Brothers

Amery Vineyard Block 6 Shiraz 2005

Shiraz for the aficionado, right out central casting. Bright, pure and stopping just at the edge before over-extracted. Could’ve been dessert but that’s a compliment, chewy dark red and blue fruit. — 7 years ago

Domenica Amato Bacigalupi Vineyard Chardonnay 2016

Wasn’t expecting such a big Chardonnay - this is full throttle! (And it impressed the resident Chardonnay aficionado, aka my better half). Stone fruits, peach nectar, butterscotch, a touch of vanilla, citrus and minerals on the finish. Creamy texture with very decent acid. Long finish. Beautiful. Thanks for this bad ass in a glass @Martin G Rivard — 7 years ago

Trivento

Reserve Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

No soy muy aficionado a los Cabernet Sauvignon, siempre me han parecido muy cargados sobretodo en boca, pesados, será por eso que con carnes van muy bien, a mi más bien me gustan los vinos ligeros, frutados, especiados, muy sutiles en el paso por barricas, en fin… son gustos de cada quien, aunque debo decir que este vino en particular es más ligero, lo degustamos con parrilla de carne a discreción, no hay duda el Cabernet Sauvignon se luce y armoniza muy bien saludos #wine #wines #winelovers #piscopremium #piscosour #pisco #10añosdeamoralpisco — 7 years ago

No. 239 Finger Lakes Dry Riesling 2004

I'm not a Riesling aficionado by any stretch so I picked a nice NY finger lakes producer and we are NOT disappointed. A perfect way to ease into the evening with artichokes on the grill. — 8 years ago

Fernie Brewing Co.

Lone Wolf IPA

9.0

This quintessential IPA from Fernie Brewing is the one that launched the IPA movement in Fernie BC. With taste appeal from the newly introduced IPA consumer and the seasoned aficionado this hoppy IPA pleases all, at 6.5% alc/vol and a IBU of 70. Lone Wolf epitomizes our rugged and individual mountain spirit. A perfect match with wings while watching the Super Bowl. Cheers 🍻🇨🇦🏈 — 7 years ago
