Victoire Brut Prestige Campagne $39.95. This French sparkler had pleasant apple notes and maintained a nice balance of not being too sweet or too dry. JC90
Santa Margherita Prosecco $17.95. This Italian sparkling wine is in the Vintages Essentials at the LCBO. It has tasting notes of peach and is somewhat sweet. It smells sweeter than it tastes. I would personally look for a dryer sparkling wine, but it was decent. JC85
Paumanok Assemblage 2007. This is the first wine I can recall having from New York State. It is not sold at the LCBO. The Assemblage is a blend of three grapes: 69% Merlot, 22% Petit Verdot and 9% Cab Franc. It has scents of plum and oak. It tastes full of fruit and with a nice smooth finish. JC93
Ravens Wood Zinfendel 2009 $17.95. I believe this is a Vintages Essentials at the LCBO. I’m not too familiar with Zinfendel as it tends to come mainly just from California. I’m not aware of an Ontario winery producing it. There was a jammy scent, a smooth taste and it was a little sweet. JC87
More to come...
