Conde Valdemar Rioja Reserva 2009

Conde Valdemar Rioja Reserva 2009

If you like older #wine , this red is 9 years old and worth a taste. It still has good acidity and medium tannins. Still showing some red cherry, coconut, and smoke, but evolving into some forest floor. Mature and still kicking! Smoked pork chops would make a fine #winepairing . #barrie #downtownbarrie #alliston#orillia #collingwood #bradford #newmarket#simcoecountyliving #livinginsimcoecounty

Keint-He Portage Rose 2017

Keint-He Portage Rose 2017

One of my finds from Prince Edward County . A deeply pink Pinot Noir Rose where light floral, strawberry, and herbs delicately lift over a little citrus. If you try it with some pasta a la Nicoise, you can pretend you’re in Provence (with your Canadian friend). #barrie #downtownbarrie #alliston #orillia#collingwood #bradford #newmarket#simcoecountyliving #livinginsimcoecounty Keint-he Winery & Vineyards

Pierre Amadieu Cairanne Les Hautes Rives 2015

Pierre Amadieu Cairanne Les Hautes Rives 2015

Very good #wine formerly designated as Cotes du Rhone Village, but elevated to Cru status in 2016. Medium bodied and unoaked with pure fruit flavours of dark plum and blackberry tinged with spice, lavender, and black pepper. If your BBQ is still out, try it with bacon wrapped filet mignon or grilled lamb.#barrie #downtownbarrie #alliston #orillia#collingwood #bradford #newmarket#simcoecountyliving#livinginsimcoecounty#winejourneys Amadieu Pierre

Oyster Bay Pinot Noir 2016

Oyster Bay Pinot Noir 2016

This very good NZ #wine reminds me more than a little of our Ontario cool climate Pinots. Lots of Pinot fruit here – cherries, raspberries, and sweet beet root. However, not the same earthy notes that are usually found in Niagara ??. Terroir is fascinating…#barrie #downtownbarrie #alliston #orillia#collingwood #bradford #newmarket#simcoecountyliving #livinginsimcoecounty Oyster Bay Wines
