Famille Cattin Pinot Gris 2017
Alsatian Pinot Gris is such a different wine compared to Pinot Grigio even if the same grape. It’s rich, unctuous, off dry, brimming with stone fruit, pear, honey, apple, and citrus. Good pairing with chorizo, but would be a great pairing with Thai curry.
Featherstone Estate Cabernet Franc 2016
The 2016 from Featherstone Estate Winery is very good Cab Franc. Medium deep purple in the glass with ripe blackberry and tobacco at the beginning and finishing with raspberry and red cherry. It really is seriously good and good value at just under $20 plus it’s available at Vintages. #wine #barrie#downtownbarrie #alliston #orillia #collingwood#bradford #newmarket #simcoecountyliving#livinginsimcoecounty
Perrin Les Christins Vacqueyras 2014
Ahh, I do love Vacqueyras and this 2014 is a very good #wine! Plums, spice, garrigue, and cracked black pepper made it a good match with chicken roasted with tomatoes, garlic, and olives. #barrie#downtownbarrie#alliston#orillia#collingwood#bradford#newmarket#simcoecountyliving#livinginsimcoecounty
Willm Riesling Reserve 2017
Alsace is a French wine region that has been swapped between France and Germany over the centuries; hence, here we have a French Riesling. This #wine is very dry with intense lime, minerals, and refreshing acidity. The perfect accompaniment for Chinese pork with cashews. #barrie#downtownbarrie#alliston#orillia#collingwood#bradford#newmarket#simcoecountyliving#livinginsimcoecounty
Ravine Sand & Gravel Redcoat 2014
This is a Bordeaux style blend leaning towards more Merlot in 2014 vintage. There’s a little blueberry on the nose, but the flavours of red currants, cherries, plums, and cedary spice on the palate. It’s a very good #wine for your red meats or grilled portobello mushrooms. #barrie#downtownbarrie#alliston#orillia#collingwood#bradford#newmarket#simcoecountyliving#livinginsimcoecountyRavine Vineyard Estate Winery
Niagara College Dean’s List Pinot Noir 2010
This is the Niagara College Canada Dean’s List Pinot Noir 2010 aged in Canadian oak. Should have opened it a bit sooner. It’s mature, and perhaps a little past its prime, with pine, cedar, forest floor, and some cherry fruit. Still a pretty good accompaniment for filet mignon. #barrie#downtownbarrie#alliston#orillia#collingwood#bradford#newmarket#simcoecountyliving#livinginsimcoecounty
Saint-Roch Chimeres 2016
One of my fav full bodied #wine with spicy plum and oak from south of France. Amazing with chicken roasted with garlic, tomatoes, olives, olive oil, and a bit of dried chilli peppers. Get some soon; LCBO only brings it in once a year. #barrie#downtownbarrie#alliston#orillia#collingwood#bradford#newmarket#simcoecountyliving#livinginsimcoecounty
2027 Cellars Edgerock Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016
Kevin creates some really good Pinots – like this one. It has lovely raspberry and cranberry fruit, with some typical earthiness. And it makes a tasty match with some bacon Gruyere onion dip. #barrie#downtownbarrie#alliston#orillia#collingwood#bradford#newmarket#simcoecountyliving#livinginsimcoecounty2027 Cellars
